Lisa and her friends were envious of Jeanne because of the recent ski trip she had gone on. In the story, Lisa and her posse showed signs of jealously toward Jeanne because of her ski trip. Lisa wanted to go skiing, but could not because of a prior New Year party obligation. This added to her being jealous of Jeanne. According to the text,Lisa concludes,"We were all envious of her holiday plans." Therefore, Lisa was not able to go skiing and was clearly envious of Jeanne's holiday plans. This envy mounted and slowly grew because of Lisa's nearby area, the skiing slopes did not have a macro amount of snow. The text states, "Unfortunately, we don't get too much snow in our region in December." As you can see, not having the availability of a proper slope instilled a certain jealous anger in Lisa. This anger slowly faded when Lisa is told some disturbing news (MsSpiezio). Jeanne had gotten "run over," by and out of control snowboarder. In the story it states "I do have an eye that will soon be in technicolor, some scrapes and bruises to my neck and shoulder, and a dull headache." This shows Lisa was better off not going on the ski trip and staying at home for health purposes. Also, Lisa would have missed her annual New Years party. In the text Jeanne says,"Have fun at the party and enjoy and feast," which hints at the party being usually enjoyable. So as you can easily tell, if Lisa had went on the trip, she would have missed the fun back home and possibly suffered from and injury. All in all, Lisa's envy drowned out and ultimately staying home was the best choice.
