Ed is Christopher’s more patient parent, even though when he read the detective book and lost

it he is very patient given with Christopher’s circumstances. “I know I lose my rag occasionally. I

know I get angry. I know I shout. And I know I shouldn't." Judy Boone, even though she left

when times got tough she wants to be a part of her son’s life. When Christopher was a kid she

used to yell and pop him because she had no tolerance for his antics. Judy may be impatient

but she genuinely cares about her son. A good thing about Judy Boone is she acknowledges that

she is impatient and that she owns up to it." So I got cross, because I don't like shopping at

Christmas, either, and I told you to behave and I tried to pick you up and move you. “I'm not like

    Leslie Edwards (Matthew Perry), a clumsy aristocrat, and the hilarious Bartholomew Hunt (Chris Farley) are competing against the famous Lewis & Clark to be the first to chart and make it across the United States to the Pacific Ocean. In the beginning of the film, Edwards has high hopes to head the first expedition to make it across the U.S., but while he has the want and the money, he is a sheltered man who knows nothing of the wilderness.

For example, when staying with her aunt Nadine, Ellen gets into an argument with her cousin on Christmas day and says something rude to her, “I told Dora….. If she ever had the sense to take a smart class she might know what I was talking about” (Gibbons 131). Her aunt Nadine walks into the argument and heard Ellen say this, without questioning what happened “She said for me to get out… that she didn’t want me to begin with” (Gibbons 131), and kicks her out on the streets.

In the novel, Ellen is taken in her grandmother who hates her, and leaves her with huge responsibilities that no child should be left with. For example, Ellen’s grandmother gets very sick and Ellen has no choice but to take care of…
