How to Steal a Dog

Carmella held Georgina's hands and said, "I guess bad times can make a person do bad things, huh?"

What do you think Carmella means by this statement?
What can you tell about Carmella by her reaction to Georgina's telling the whole truth?

  4. I can tell that Carmella is kind and understanding. I also think that she knows how Georgina feels. Maybe she was in the same situation as Georgina.

  5. I think that Carmella is glad that Georgina returned Willy and instead of asking for the reward, that she confessed. Plus, all SHE has for family is Willy.

  10. I think that Carmella is glad that Georgina returned Willy and instead of asking for the reward, that she confessed, Too Harrison. And I think that Carmella is really sweet FOR NOT CALLING THE COPS like Toby said.

  11. I think Carmela knows how Georgina feels and she knows Georgina is homeless and she knows she doesn't really have a home and maybe she has gone through bad times.

  12. It think that it means that if you are angry or in bad position it can make you do thing you never meant to do.

    I think she was shock! But could that tell Georgina was a nice kid and I think she felt bad for Georgina
    I also think that Carmella was amazed that Georgina went through all this trouble just for her family.
    I think Carmela was shocked that Georgina told the whole think even though she might of gotten in to huge trouble.
    And that's what I think!

  13. I think it was probaly a shock to Carmella because she trusted Georgina and Toby. So it was probaly a let-down to Carmella.But she did understand what Georgina was saying. And Carmella felt really sorry for them. I do to!

  15. I think Carmella was probably disappointed when Georgina told Carmella she stole Willy. But when Georgina told the whole story, I think Carmella felt so terribly bad for Georgina and Toby!

  16. I think that because Mookie told Georgina Hayes that he does stuff for free sometimes and then Georgina realized how selfish she has been and then everything gets better. :)

  18. Skyler, I am emailing the lady that schedules Barbara O'Connor's Skype calls! I am so excited! I found out her calls are for thirty minutes and that we have to have our questions prepared at least 24 hours in advance! I am finding out all the details! Thank you for getting us started on the Skype idea!
