In the passage, Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne’s ski trip to Colorado. There are many reasons as to why they were envious of Jeanne. However, the main reason seems to be that Jeanne was the only one out on vacation during the December break.(Mukund). It says in the text, “Most of us weren’t traveling to anyplace exotic over the vacation. We’d mainly been doing some last minute shopping in the area, hanging out, and visiting with family and friends, but not Jeanne! Her family had booked a week long skiing trip at a lodge in Colorado and their plane had left a week ago.” Thus, it was clear that Jeanne was having the best December break.(Richard O.) Even though, Jeanne’s ski trip sounded most exciting, Lisa and her friends were probably glad they hadn’t gone after all. This could be because of two major events during Jeanne’s trip. First, her trip was delayed for four hours because of bad weather. Then, while skiing she collided with a novice snowboarder. As a result, she suffered from a concussion.-VictoriaK This shows that Lisa and her friends are thankful for not being in the same situation as Jeanne. All in all, Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne but were probably glad in the end that they hadn’t gone on the ski trip after all.(nate)
