Answer:
1. the story was told in first-person by Katie.
2. Katie reacted in a poor way because she was so devastated and sad. from the way Katie reacted I like to believe that her mother was kind of like a best friend to her and that she loved her mother more than anything and anyone in the world.
3. we learned that Katie's mom had been in high school English teacher and was caring enough to use her last breath in order to prepare Katie for the future.
4. I believe Katie's mother decided to deliver her last words in the way she delivered it because she knew eventually Katie will get it. Katie knows that her mom is somewhat of a poet and that she chooses her words correctly and Katie's mom knew that she knew that. so I think she decided to use those two words it's you because she knew eventually Katie would soon come to realize what her mother was telling her before she died.
5. I believe Katie is genuinely a good person that just went through a hard time. I feel as if Katie would do anything for her mom and behave just for her mom. I also do think that Katie is a Bit Sassy from what she was saying in her mine. I feel as if when Katie's mom died she just started to drift in the world and started caring about everything and everyone so that's why she was mean to her father her stepmother and her brothers because she was hurting and just didn't care about anything anymore.
