Question

9 essay 2 points at the end of the story, mercy, judith, and kit are all happily in love. do any of the pairings come as a surprise to you? why or why not? (3 sentences)

Explanation:

To answer, first recall the story's character dynamics. For example, Kit's pairing might be surprising if her initial arc (e.g., as an outsider) and the love interest's traits seemed mismatched, or not if their interactions built up. Analyze the relationships' development (e.g., shared experiences, character growth) to justify surprise or lack thereof.

Answer:

(Example response) Judith’s pairing surprised me because she initially seemed more rebellious and less likely to settle into a traditional romantic role, but her relationship developed naturally through shared adventures, showing growth I didn’t expect.
