  1. Georgina sort of lives in a shack then a car and every day she goes to another store or on the side of a house so her homlessness is bad and Mookie's homelessness is good from what he said "I live out there" and he probably likes it cause it seemed like he meant he was feeling good without a home but then he said yesterday today or next thursday and he could have lived in a house but there is a lot of things that could happen.

    1. I totally agree, Alexandra! I think Mookie enjoys being free and and roaming around. I wonder what Mookie's childhood was like.

  2. Gorgina dose not like her life. But Mookie love's life. I woud dislike my life to if I we're Gorgina but I would also dislike my life if I we're Mookie. I see how Gorgeina's life and Mookie's life are totaly differint. Like Gorgeina live's in a car and Mookie live's outside in the wood's which in someway's is better. I mean like she has air conditioning and he dose not. But a person is a person. We are all diffrent.

    1. I would not like to be homeless under any situation, just like you said. It is so interesting that Mookie is so happy being homeless while Georgina is so miserable. Georgina is just a child with many needs that are not being met. I feel very sorry for her!

    1. Yes, I completely agree. Mookie seems like a joyful guy. I think Georgina's not having a bathroom is really hurting her. She is not able to look neat and clean. This is definitely hurting how she feels about herself and how others treat her.

  4. First or all Georgina is a kid so it isn't her fault. But Mookie can take care of himself and I think he likes being homeless. Also, Georgina thinks she is responsible for being homeless so she feels she has to fix it. I don't think Mookie wants to fix it!

  5. Well I think Georgina doesn't like being homeless because I mean she lost her best friend and she doesn't have privacy and her own room and sense she's homeless her and her mom are always fighting. And I think Mookie likes being homeless is because he seems like a person that likes to travel and discover new things. So Mookie likes being homeless and Georgina doesn't. And that's why I think Georgina and Mookie feel different being homeless.

  7. Georgina's homelessness and Mookie's homelessness are different because Mookie sleeps in different spots and Georgina does not. Also, they are not the same ages. Mookie is older then Georgina. Their homelessness are the same because they are both poor.

  9. I think that Georgina is a kid so she is wanting a house, unlike Mookie. He probably doesn't want as much property. Mookie may not like most houses on this earth. He may want open land and take natrue take its course. He likes to live with the animals and be a good friend. Georgina likes to stay cozey in a house and have a bed, couch, table, livingroom. These are the difference of Mookie likeing to be homeless and Georgina not likeing being homeless. I LOVE HOW TO STEEL A DOG ITS AWESOME!

  10. Georgina is all stressed out . And mad about her mom and feels like she has to do something to live in a house. Mookie's homelessness is not bothering him and he is very happy. It doesn't look like he is homeless because he has a golden tooth. Georgina wants to live in a place and stay, while Mookie is happy being homeless.

  14. Mookie is perfectly fine with being homeless I think he actually likes being homeless. Not that he would't like living in a house. Georgina HATES living in a car or a very old, broken house. Also she can't go to Girl Scouts or ballet. Worst of all it gets in the way of her friendship with Luanne.

  15. Well at least Georgina has a roof on her head. and Georgina does not like being homeless. Mookie actually likes it.He says it`s good. He does not have a house because he does not have to work and keep a house clean

  16. Georgina is not that smart to steel a dog. Because if Georgina and Toby get caught their mom will go to jail or have to pay money and Georgina and Toby may go to Juvy.

  18. Well I think Georgina REALY REALY REALY doesn't like being homeless. Because I mean she lost her best friend, she doesn't have privacy, and she doesn't even have her own room! Sense she's homeless her and her mom are always fighting. I think Mookie REALY doesn't care likes being homeless. Because he seems like a person that LOVES to travel and discover new things. So Mookie likes being homeless and Georgina doesn't. And that's why I think Georgina and Mookie feel different being homeless. I REALY REALY REALY REALY wouldn't like being homeless! I don't know what Mookie's thinking!

    P.S I wonder if Mookie was homeless as a kid?
    P.P.S And why is Georgina talking to Mookie because he's a stranger!
    P.P.P.S Why does Mookie LIKE being homeless?

  21. Georgina's homelessness and Mookie's homelessness are different because Mookie sleeps in different spots and Georgina does not. Also, they are not the same ages. Mookie is older then Georgina. Their homelessness are the same because they are both poor and don't have that much money.
