Temptation: can you resist your own personal desires?

In the book, the Fanning's help out the Garcia's a lot. They took them out to dinner and were willing to pay for some of the things that the family wanted, such as a doll that Sandra wanted. We all know that if someone were to offer to pay for everything that we wanted, we would be extremely tempted to jump on it--but would you?

Sandra disobeyed her parents just because she wanted to get what she wanted. Didn't she feel the least bit guilty? would you do this? why or why not?

please write back (:

  1. I think that part of the reason Sandi did that was because she felt that Mrs.Fanning owed her because Mrs.Fanning is a marrried woman, who kissed her father.

    I don't think I would do that... because I would get into trouble and my mom wouldn't trust me as much anymore.

  2. Ahh! Good question! I probably would reconsider how badly I want it and also think about the person that is giving it to me. Even though, it is something I really desire, I don't want to trouble someone else that maybe can't afford it or don't have the time. It really depends on who it is to feel bad for.

  3. I feel the same way too! I would never do that because that would get me into a whole lot of trouble and I would break the trust that my mother had for me. And I wouldn't want to live my life with my mother hating me, because that is a harsh punishment!
