A central theme of this novel is that a person should strive to see things from the other person’s point of view. Think about a person you know that you have a difficult time getting along with. This could be a classmate, parent, sibling, coach, teacher, team mate, coworker . . . pretty much anyone in your life that you have constant interaction with. How can you learn to walk in this person's shoes? What difficulties might this person be facing? (If you can avoid it, please don’t use names, or send your response to me in a private message -- chances are we all know who you’re talking about!)

My foster cousin is someone who I didn't exactly get along with. She lived with us off and on for about a year, and I did not respond well to having someone else to have to live with. She was 4 years older than me, and often gained more attention than I did, and so we often argued. The fact is, I was seeing things from only my own perspective, and this was clouding my judgement. After I tried to see things from her perspective, we got a long much better. Her dad had been arrested and removed from the country when she was young, her mother had an ongoing illness, which affected her ability to take care of her children, and my cousin had faced a lot of really hard things in her lifetime. Now that she lives elsewhere and I don't see her, I have realized how important she really was to me.

My sister is sometimes hard to get along with, but I also can be hard to get along with also, so I understand what she is going through. After I see if I make her mad or sad I try to fix what I have done, being a older sibling is probably difficult, I wouldn’t know because I am the younger sibling, but she always feels responsible for me and wants to make sure I am okay. I am lucky to have a sibling like her.

I often don't get along with my sister. Sometimes it feels as if she doesn't care about my opinions and is a very mean person to me. We get in fights often about either me being right or wrong and who should get what. She is three years younger than me and I am most of the time more right then her, though sometimes she can be right, so sometimes I need to listen to her and learn form her.

My cousin( which you all know) gets on my nerves. But she’s having a hard time understanding things she’s learning in school, I know that’s hard because I’ve be there, so I try to help her with her homework whenever I can so she feels like she on the same level as the class. But I love her and will do anything for her.

My sibling can be annoying at times but it is not always his fault. He sometimes does things just to get on my nerves. If I were to walk in his footsteps I could see why he gets annoyed. Sometimes he in going through somethings and is not always reacting to me.
