2. She provides her with home videos to watch. (Section 1)
3. Boston (Section 1)
Short Answer
1. Jenna’s grandmother calls her gait unusual, even though Jenna has made great gains in her ability to walk. It seems odd that a grandmother would criticize a grandchild who has just awoken from a coma. (Section 1)
2. Jenna speaks in a stilted voice. She addresses her parents formally and calls her grandmother by her given name. She also speaks in the past tense in the first chapter, because her identity is based on her family’s memories rather than her own experience. (Section 1)
Sections 2-3
Reading Check
1. She is surprised that she can recount a large amount of historical data, even though she has memory loss. (Section 2)
2. She falls into a creek and remembers that she almost drowned when she was three. (Section 2)
3. It is no longer there. (Section 3)
4. Her body forces her to go, even though she doesn’t want to.
