Miranda finds Horton at the kitchen after he dashed off eight days earlier. Miranda's mom gets a letter from Miranda's dad and Lisa (girlfriend), stating that they will be visiting them right before they take off to Lisa's parents house. The text states, "You know things are. Anyway, Lisa is desperate to see her parents, to be with them when the baby is born." When Lisa and Miranda's father finally arrive, everyone was happy. They had bought Miranda and her family canned foods, boxes of pasta, powdered milk, and mashed potatoes, jars of meat sauce, applesauce, cases of bottled water, and a half dozen hugs of distilled water. Then the next day they decide to chop wood and store into the dining room because they hardly ever eat there anymore. The author writes, "Mom thought about it, and decided the best place to store the firewood was the dining room, since we never eat there anymore." After gathering the wood, they had a dinner party. Miranda's dad was telling jokes, while Miranda's mom and Lisa roll their eyes.
Character Analysis.
Megan is overly-religious. She picked church as an interest soon after her friend Becky died. She always tries to get Miranda into being religious and to pray to God with her, but she does care for Miranda's safety. The text states, "I pray for you Miranda, and Mom and Dad and even for Dad's other family." This shows that Megan is trying her best to keep Miranda safe even though Megan knows Miranda has sinned before.
