During this reading of the book, I often saw the resemblance between the lives of these two girls, and the resemblance of the disasters happening around them. The Rocky Flats have become a topic around the community and now the FBI is involved.  People who work in the factory are being questioned and some losing their jobs because of the hidden secret all these years.  While this is happening in Colorado, Kris moved away and now has two little boys.  She is afraid of following in her parents footsteps but she is witnessing it happen.  I connected to her thoughts in this section because I often thought that divorce would happen to me because it happened to my parents.  Many other adults also told me that it would happen.  Now Kris is forced to raise her two little boys on her own and she wants to go back to school.  She realizes that it is an almost impossible task because she has so many bills to pay. I am beginning to wonder if Kris will ever come back and protest against the Rocky Flats.  I also wonder where her sister ended up and if she will continue to visit her mother.
