In the story, //A Series Of Atypical Events,// Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne because she got to go on a skiing trip all the way in Colorado. The reason behind this feelign was pure jealousy. As stated in the text, Lisa and her friends have to go to the nearby slopes to ski while Jeanne gets to go to another state to ski. The way she says "But not Jeanne!" lets you see that she is clearly jealous (MsSpiezio). She is green with envy because Jeanne gets a trip more extravagent than the homemade snow used the slopes Lisa goes to. In addition, Lisa and her friends were holding a grudge against Jeanne because she had more exciting holiday plans. Jeanne got to be on the real blankets of snow while Lisa was at home with her humdrum life. In conclusion, Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne because she had more exciting holiday plans.

In the passage, Lisa and her friends were probably glad in the end that they hadn't gone on the ski trip after all. I think the reason for this feeling is that Jeanne had gotten an injury. As stated in the text, Jeanne and her friends were standing around talking when a snowboarder rammed right into Jeanne. She got a serious injury and if Lisa and her friends had been there, they could have been in danger. As a result, they could have been at risk too. Also, the flight in Colorado was delayed. If Lisa had been in Colorado, she wouldn't have been able to spend New Years with her family. In conclusion, Lisa and her friends were probably glad they hadn't gone on the ski trip because they could have been in danger and the flight back was delayed.
