E03 Critical Reading- Beyonce1234

First off, I listened to this whole article, and I now dislike the Kardashians more than ever. The author sounded like their long lost sister. I know I could’ve just read the thing myself, but that would’ve taken too long. This has nothing to do with the assignment, but I had to let you know.

Her schoolmate said something mean. Maybe. Katie doesn’t sound sure, or like she remembers exactly. One thing she’s positive of: “She just made me…so. MAD.” Brannan asks Katie to name some of the alternatives. “Walk away, get the teacher, yes ma’am, no ma’am,” Katie dutifully responds to the prompts. She looks disappointed in herself.

1. Katie goes to school with another girl.
2. She is disappointed in herself, therefore she is unhappy with decisions that she didn’t understand that she was making before.
3. It seems like she might be disappointed because she knew that is how she should’ve reacted to the situation.
4. She doesn’t understand emotions yet because she only knows one adjective to explain her feelings.
5. She might be experiencing symptoms from her father of PTSD.
6. She doesn’t realize that either.

She’s never been diagnosed with anything, and Brannan prefers it that way. “I’m not for taking her somewhere and getting her labeled. I’d rather work on it in softer ways,”

1. Katie never had any abnormalities before.
2. Brannan believes it would be problematic if she did.
3. Doctors only diagnose and do not actually help with the issue.
4. If they did, it would be too harsh for his daughter.

The phone never stops ringing. If it does for 14 seconds, Brannan writes an email to help get whatever someone needs, or publishes a blog post about her own struggles.

1. The phone rings all the time, even when someone is uses it.
2.  It only takes 14 seconds to write an email or a blog post.
3. She writes about her experiences.
4. She is a very busy woman.
