1. __In what ways do you think Jen's life as a shadow child has been different from Luke's? Cite evidence from text 2. How do you think Luke feels after meeting and talking with Jen?__

Answer 1: Jen's life as a shadow child is different from Luke's because in Jen's life she doesn't have to hide as much as Luke has to. She is allowed to watch TV, go on the computer, and do many things that Luke cannot do. Jen lives a life where she is a shadow child too but she gets to be more exposed to the outdoors then Luke.For example, Jen was able to go shopping with her mom when her mom excused her as her neice. Also in her life she knows more than Luke, and Luke has been always trapped in his room and be able to do certain things that Jen can do. For instance, Luke has to be locked in his room, not allowed to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner with his family, or not even allowed to look out the windows. Jen's life is very different from Luke's life in many ways.

Answer 2: Meeting Jen makes Luke feels upset in a way because Luke realizes that he has been hiding all along when he could have been exposed just a little to the outdoors like Jen. I know this because in the story when Jen tells him about what she did yesterday Luke felt sadden in the inside by his expression. He realized that he could have lived a life like Jen's but his parents were just trying to protect him. He feels like his parents has been hiding him all along and he feels embarassed because Jen knows a lot more than Luke.
