Like Mike Jimmy had been visiting the same Web site over and over again for a month. It did not offer streaming video or MP3s, just pictures of shoes with prices next to them. He was looking at a pair of Air Jordan shoes. Neither Jimmy nor his parents could afford the shoes when they first came out. Back then, all he could do was look at them. They were in music videos, in television commercials, and on the feet of his wealthier classmates. He looked and dreamed but was never able to get a pair, until now. Jimmy avoided looking at the price. Two hundred dollars was more than the combined cost of every shoe he owned. As he moved his cursor over the "buy now" button, his breathing became heavy. He was nervous. He reminded himself that he was no longer 13. He had a good job and was living a comfortable life. He could now afford to buy the shoes. Just as Jimmy was about to click on the "buy now" button, Kelly, his girlfriend, came up behind him and said, "Those are ugly! My brother had a pair when we were kids. I always made fun of him for wearing them. Please tell me that you're not going to spend two hundred dollars on those hideous things!" Jimmy could not explain to Kelly why he wanted the shoes. Part of the reason was that he had a hard time explaining his thoughts to others. But the main reason was that Kelly did not grow up in a home in which a pair of shoes could be easy to look at but impossible to own. She just did not understand, and she proved it every time she said, "I'm surprised your parents didn't buy you those shoes just to shut you up!" Jimmy's friends Jerome and Albert were sitting on the other side of the room. They both came from backgrounds that were similar to his. He hoped they could explain things to Kelly. They both tried. They both failed. The room fell silent, and then Jimmy spoke up, saying, "I've done it. They will arrive this Wednesday!" Jimmy left work a little early on Wednesday. He wanted to be home when the package arrived. When he pulled up in the driveway, he saw the package on his porch. He took it inside and opened it. He pulled the left shoe out of the box and stared at it. Later that evening, Jimmy went over to Jerome's apartment. When he walked in, Jerome and Albert looked at his feet. He was wearing the same old shoes. Jerome asked him why he was not wearing his new Air Jordan shoes. With shock Jimmy replied, "Those are two hundred dollar shoes! Why would I want to wear them?" 1 Select all of the correct answers. Which of the following words best describe Jimmy? spiteful reflective indifferent negative cautious
