The passage " __A Series of Atypical Events__ " was about a girl named Lisa who learned that what may seem fun can be dangerous.(christine) There are various reasons why Lisa and her friends are envious of Jeanne. One reason why Lisa and her friends were so envious of Jeanne was because they wanted to go someplace special for their winter break, like how Jeanne was. As stated in the text, Lisa said that she and her friends were not going anyplace exotic over the vacation except for Jeanne! Thus, making Lisa and her friends become jealous. Another reason why Lisa and her friends were jealous was because they were forced to be at their nearby sloped which contained little amounts of snow. Just like the text stated, "it had to at one of the nearby slopes." Hence, proving that they are envious about Jeanne being able to go someplace else for skiing.

But in the end, Lisa and her friends were glad that they didn't go on the skiing trip. One reason was that Jeanne got seriously maimed on the slopes. In the text, a snowboarder had crashed into Jeanne, causing her injury. If Lisa had went to the skiing trip with Jeanne, she could have been the one suffering in pain. The final reason why Lisa and her friends are relieved that they never went is because Jeanne's flight winded up being delayed for four hours. As explained in the story, Jeanne called Lisa teling her she could not make the party because of the flight delay. If Lisa and her friends had went skiing, they probably would not have gotten to the arty on time. Therefore, even though Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne's skiing trip, in the end they were grateful that they stayed home and had a great time at the party.
