Anastasia Has the Answers
“It was nice that her parents would be back that evening—she and Mrs. Stein planned to cook a special welcome-home dinner—but that was really the only nice thing about the whole day.
She had gotten her Johnny Treinain test back, with a C+ on it. Anastasia always got A's in English, so a C+ was a real disappointment. Mr. Rafferty had met with her after school, to discuss it. But there was really nothing to discuss. She hadn't liked Johnny Tremain, so she hadn't read it very carefully; and she had... been thinking about Gone with the Wind during the test.
She had tried to explain that to Mr. Rafferty. "I think you ought to assign Gone with the Wind instead," she suggested. "At least for the girls. Let the boys read Johnny Tremain." Mr. Rafferty looked very startled. He was an ancient, elderly man, probably about sixty, Anastasia thought, with gray hair. The only interesting thing about Mr. Rafferty was that he wore colorless nail polish. Or at least Anastasia thought he did. Maybe his fingernails were naturally glistening—but she was pretty certain he wore nail polish.MoreLess
