Quote #4
So right away she told us she would be in charge of our booklet and me and Jimmy could do most of the poster. As long as we check in with her first, to make sure she likes our ideas. We agreed, since Sheila promised to do ten pages of written work and we would only do five. (7.3)
Well, there's one bright side to having Sheila as their partner in the group project. She's not going to skirt her responsibilities; in fact, she assigns herself more work than the boys have. We'll forgive her for being bossy.
Quote #5
"I want a good mark on this project. Peter, you can write your five pages about the monorail system and how it works. Jimmy, you can write your five pages about pollution caused by transportation. And I'll write my ten pages on the history of transportation in the city." Sheila folded her arms and smiled. (7.15)
The boys go along with Sheila's plan because it makes sense and she knows what she's doing. Still, she's an awfully smug person to have to work with.
Quote #6
"That's not fair." Jimmy said. "This is supposed to be a group project. Why should I have to put my name on my five pages?" (7.18)
Sheila isn't treating this like a group project at all; instead, she's making it look like they all did separate work. Guess she doesn't want to risk it if their work isn't as good as hers, which seems to be what she's thinking.
