What if you had to run away from
the things you knew, the family you knew, and the way you lived. Jenna tried to
run away from her father and Mrs. Gladstone has to give up the ways she raised
he son. “Rules of the Road” by Joan Bauer is about overcoming challenges in
your life
Jenna Boller is a teenage girl who
can sell anything at Gladstone shoes and shes happy to. But Jenna’s happy to go
to work to get away from everything but mostly her father and his problems. One
day Jenna’s boss Madeline asks her to drive her to Texas Jenna only wants to go
to get away from her father. After the trip Jenna got the courage to stand up
to her father’s drinking problem because of Harry’s death. She said to him “I
can’t be with you unless you change
because seeing you so out of control, seeing you wasting your life is too hard
for me. I can’t pretend like you don’t have a problem you need help, Dad!
You’re an alcoholic. There’s help everywhere for what you’ve got. Bu you’ve got
to want to get it”. Jenna’s dad denied everything she said and said that he
could handle it but she didn’t believe that.
Madeline Gladstone is a manager of an
above average shoe company who has to deal with her age, company, and her son
Elden. After Mrs. Gladstone retires her son Elden is planning to take over
Gladstone shoes and sell it off to a way more successful business because of
all the money they make off of their cheaply made shoes. Mrs. Gladstone hears
about this from all of the store owners and some like it but she WON’T tolerate it. Gladstone
shoes dose get taken over but Mrs. Gladstone gets hired as the quality control
representative of shoe warehouse.
There are many challenges in your
life. Like running away from your past or giving up your ways but you can
overcome it.
