    2. When Mia was intruducing herself at school she lied about having a dog and having a house with a pool (even though the motel had one.) The reason Lupe and Mia became better friends is because Lupe lied too. She said she had a big house and a golden retreiver like Mia said she had too. I think a reason of why they also became friends is because they have some of the same interests and are both poor. I can't think of anything like that that's happend to me.

But they confessed when Lupe and her dad came over and accidentaly saw Mia, and Lupe's dad fixed the cable. After confessing, the girls had lots of things to relate to. My friend is from Africa.

  23. Something that made them closer was that they figured out that they are both poor and they don't have dogs. This made them closer because they know they are alike and knowing your alike makes you feel closer. A time that happened to me was when I figured out someone has the same beliefs as me.

    ReplyDelete
  43. when the WiFi went out Mia seen Lupe when they seen each other they had to come clean they both told there lies how Mia and Lupe didn't have a big house or dog when they say there lies they forgive each other when there happy Mia found out the Mr Yao owns more then one hotel and how he treats Lupe's dad.-diamond

    ReplyDelete
  44. Lupe and Mia figured out that they both lie about things to not feel sorta left out. But they also realize that they are both experiencing the same thing they are trying to feel like they fit in. Mr. Yao is mean to both of them because they are nothing like him (which is ok). Mr. Yao doesn't like to treat any of his workers with respect. And that is exactly how Mia and Lupe feel. They are able to understand each other and understand what each other is going through. That's one cool thing about friendship.

  52. The thing that made them closer as friends was when each other came clean about things that they made up. Also Mia told Lupe the things that were happening in her life, which makes people closer to each other. I know this made them closer because Mia was always happy when Lupe came over to the motel. Something has happened kinda like this in a friendship of mine. My friend and I both told each other something weird about ourselves, which made us much closer.

    ReplyDelete
  53. The thing that happen to them was they told each other that they didn't have a dog or a big trampoline or pool are big home and they didn't have a lot of money.So the thing that makes the friendship better is they are both the same like they are both immigrants and don´t have a lot of cash.
