Read the directions for making a toy parachute. 1. Cut thick string or twine into four pieces that are 9 inches long. 2. Cut a 12x5-inch rectangle out of a plastic garbage bag. 3. Using a hole punch, poke a hole into each corner of the rectangle. 4. Slide the end of each piece of string through a hole in the rectangle. 5. Tie a knot to the end of each string so that they are attached to the corners of the plastic rectangle. 6. Either tape or tie the loose ends of the string to a small object, such as an action figure or toy car. 7. Hold the top of the parachute so that the object hangs loosely below it. 8. Find a high place from which to drop your parachute, such as a chair or a small wall. 9. Softly toss your parachute into the air, and watch it float to the ground. What would happen if someone skipped step 6? The object would cause the parachute to collapse. The object would not be heavy enough for the parachute. The object would become tangled with the parachute. The object would not be attached to the parachute.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.
