When another June comes into the good Junes life, she starts hurting and tormenting her. In the beginning it's just June and her mother, they know no trouble, June has a normal life. She goes to school, she has very few friends but she is living in a normal life. Soon another June comes into our good Junes life and starts hurting her and getting her into trouble. In the end June finally gets fed up with the other June and she finally stands up for herself for all the stuff the other June had done to her. But the sad thing is, June's mom never found out about any of it. This story shows that June learns a really important lesson. In the begining June and her mom are barely making it by. June's mom told her that they don't have any room for more trouble. For example in paragraph 1 the character says “ It's just you and me, two women alone in the world,June darling of my heart; we have enough troubles getting by.” June fears that if she gives her mom any more troubles than they already have they both will be in trouble.

The bad June keeps calling her mean names, and pinching, and pushing her. For example in paragraph 40 the author writes “I'm going to get you fish eyes”. Soon she got bored calling June fish eyes so then came buffalo brain, and once everyone found that one out, turkey nose was next. This is also a very important quote because it shows that June is being hurt and bullied by someone just her size. This proves that right now in the story the good June is very weak and she lets the bad June do bad things to her and she doesn't do anything about it to stop
