Question

Why does rachel want to be 102?

Answer 1

Answer:

She wanted to know how to deal with her problems.

Explanation:

In paragraph five, Rachel would have had the wisdom

to handle the situation with Mrs. Price. She says “if I

was one hundred and two I’d have known what to say

when Mrs. Price put the red sweater on my desk”.

In the last paragraph, Rachel wants the red sweater

incident to be far in the past, “far away like a runaway

balloon, like a tiny o in the sky, so tiny-tiny you have to

close your eyes to see it”
