In the article, "A series of Atypical Events", Lisa and her friends had envied Jeanne becayse she was headed towards a Colorado ski trip. At first, they were jealous; but in the end, they all were glad they hadn't gone - many reasons explain this.(MsSpiezio) First, winter break was over, and Jeanne was going to Colorado. Her friends were highly envoius. As Lisa stated in the text, "last-minute shopping, hanging out...but not Jeanne!" As you can see, Lisa is upset Jean has skiing plans. Also, Lisa and her friends expressed they wanted to ski; and they couldn't if they tried! The text had said there wasn't snow in their reigon ; meaning what they wanted was unable to be reached. Therefore, this explains how Lisa and all of her friends envied Jeanne, but things would soon change. Later in the story, Lisa discovers Jeanne's plans hadn't gone so well. This quickly changed her and all of her friends jealous ways. First, Jeanne had spent a good protion of her trip actually NOT skiing. As said in the text, " She spent her final day in Colorado dozing between visits from concerned friends." Thus, you can visualize how Lisa's opinion shifted. Also, Jeanne had herself stuck in a painful accident. She got pummled (?? Is this even a word? Do you mean tumbled?? SM) and sandwiched by a novice skiier, and the hard snow. This lead to a trip to the hospital. In conclusion, this shows how Lisa and her friends were envoius if Jeanne, and why they were glad in the end that they hadn't gone to the ski trip after all.
