Character Role Analysis

Miss Beatty

Thank goodness Corinna has Miss B.B. Beatty, otherwise known as Miss Boppity Bop, to provide some guidance about what it's like to lose your mom. This kind English teacher invites Corinna to have lunch in her classroom, which is a relief when your girlfriends make a sport out of sitting around the cafeteria complaining about their mothers. Miss Beatty answers Corinna's questions about being a motherless daughter, assuring Corinna that while she'll never totally get over it, living without Sophie will eventually hurt less.
