Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the different ways that the three children show that they are hurt and sad. How do each of them show when they are beginning to feel better? What can you tell about Caroline's feelings when she gives the dress to Cinzia? Why does Cinzia tell Angelo the story about the necklace, and why does it make him leave without her? Was Cinzia wrong to leave for the dance when she had promised to go fishing with David?
