Questions Regarding the Book No Way Out.

What Happend in Chapter 1 in the Book "No Way Out"?
What Happend was that Her grandmother got into an accident. She Fell and ounded herself pretty badly. Doctors told harold that she had complications regarding her diabetes. His Heart was beating rapidl, his head was throbbing rapidly, as if it was going to blow. Nw, Her grandson has to help her take care of herself.

Why do you think the Question "Do you have any place to go, anywhere else to stay" Keeps repeating in harolds head?
The Reason why he Keeps thinking about the question that the social worker told him, is because of the way he is so concerned about his grandother. If his grandmother dies, He does got knowhere else to go. He'll just be a loner, or will be put in a Foster Care.

What do you think is gonna happend Next?
Whats gonna happen is that, what I think is gonna happend is that Harolds grandmother will ight or might not die. Harold would probably will go into a certain emotional breakdown, just gotta wait and see.

Asthma

The challenge that I have overcome was the asthma that I’ve been suffering with since birth. When I was little, I had a problem breathing. My parents were worried about my trouble breathing because I was wheezing and I had other symptoms related to what they have called “asthma.” My Parents took me to the hospital and the doctors diagnosed the situation as asthma. I’ve was in the hospital for a few days. They then said that I was going to survive the Asthma, but that they don’t know when the asthma’s was going to take my life. I know how to control my asthma, that is why my asthma isn’t all that bad. Some people have worse asthma which can lead to death. But me, I know a lot about how to control my asthma. The only time the asthma tries to take me down is at night. During the night, the asthma sometimes starts to kill me, trying to make me stay awake and weakening my body. But, I wont let the asthma take me down. My parents bought the inhaler, also known as an “asthma Pump.” The pump can calm the asthma down, making it easier for me to breath. The symptoms are here on the following:


•Coughing

•Wheezy

Shortness of breath

Difficulty breathing



Each of these symptoms can trigger an asthma attack real quickly. Asthma is where the tubes that are in the lungs begin to close. That is where the plaque or mucus begin to build in the tube, blocking air from travelling in and out. The lungs are the organ that can inhale and exhale the oxygen from the air. Right now I’m still controlling my asthma; keeping me experiencing sudden death. I am a bit like Jensen Burgen, since she can’t hear or see, and I have asthma. I guess, in that sense, her and I are alike; we both suffer from illness.


COMPARE: How has her challenge been similar to yours?

Me and her had a difficult time controlling each of our illness. I Attend to keep getting strong, and control this asthma from killing me; Just like she would have to control herself from not letting the illness take her down from doing what she has to do.


CONTRAST:

How has her challenge been different from yours?

Since she had the sickness, she never let it hold her back from what she has been doing. She stood strong, and took control over it. I sometimes let the asthma hold me back because since the asthma was too powerful when I was a child, it took a hold of me. Now, I will Fight this illness and be strong.
