Question

From Juli's perspective, is Bryce's opinion of her tree climbing abilities accurate?

Answer 1

Answer:

So over time, Bryce and Juli get into some scuffles due to their conflicting feelings. Like when Bryce cheats off of Juli's tests without her knowing. But then later Juli helps Bryce cheat because she feels bad for her crush. Or when Bryce accidentally sparks a fight between Juli and Shelly Stalls, which ends with Juli getting Shelly into a headlock.

Explanation:

And even though Bryce doesn't like Juli, he sure does spend a lot of time telling us how obnoxious she is. So when she climbs the huge sycamore tree to save his kite, he's annoyed. Or when she hatches six baby chicks for the fifth grade science fair, he's pretty peeved. And Juli? Well she's still goo-goo eyed over Bryce. But she also happens to be a strong gal who loves to climb her favorite sycamore tree and look out across the world. Plus she's a smartie who likes to do well in school and at the fifth grade science fair.Now fast-forward to eighth grade. This sycamore tree and those science fair eggs become super important to Bryce and Juli's relationship. First they have to face the saga of the sycamore tree. When folks try to chop down Juli's favorite tree, she refuses to climb down—she's a fighter this one. In the end she loses this battle, but the tree really changes the way she looks at the world—and she's also pretty sad that Bryce didn't try to help her out.

Not long after the tree saga, the eggs incident happens. Juli's chicks grow into hens that start laying their own eggs, so back in sixth grade Juli began bringing eggs over to Bryce's house just to be nice… or, you know, because that guy is seriously so cute. But Bryce's family is afraid to eat the eggs, so Bryce throws them out. And he keeps doing this for two whole years. When Juli finds out in eighth grade about the chucked eggs, she's super upset. And pretty betrayed, too.

The eggs incident gets even more complicated when Bryce tells Juli the reason they won't eat her eggs: his family thinks her house is a dump. This mean comment leads to two changes for Juli:

Change One: Juli starts fixing up her front yard. And Bryce's Granddad Chet helps her out, which is pretty nice of him.

Change Two: Juli learns that her parents don't spend their hard-earned dough fixing up their house because they spend their extra money taking care of her disabled Uncle David, who lives in a home nearby… which is pretty nice of them.
