Semester 2!!!!!!!! How Far She Went

http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/4730034/How_Far_She_Went_by_Mary_Hood
The wordle attached is about the short story How Far She Went by Mary Hood. In the wordle, there are some words that describe what the story is about and who the characters are. The characters in the story are the girl, who is never given a name, and her grandma, Granny. In the story, you assume that the girl is sent to her grandma's house by her father. The girl and her grandma fight a lot and the girl always talks about how she is going to run away.

One day the girl does leave and the grandma doesn't go looking for her. She goes to a cemetary with her dog and puts flowers on a grave stone, and you can later assume that it is the girls mother that is buried ther. During that time, the grandma hears motorcycles coming close. When the motorcycles pass, Granny sees that her granddaughter is on one of them. She immediately gets into her Chevy Impala and drives after them. She gets far enough ahead of them that they have to stop. When she gets out of the car, she tells the men on the motorcycle that the girl is underage and makes the girl get off of the motorcycle. The men and the girl's grandma get into an argument and then Granny makes the girl get into the car. A few minutes after the girl and Granny leave, the men on the motorcycles chase them. Granny, the girl, and Granny's dog have to try and get away. The Chevy Impala getsbstuck in a pond and they have to run and hide underna dock. The dog wouldn't stop barking, so Granny had to put him under the water and drown him. The men get to the dock but they don't see the the two women, so they decide to leave. After they left, the girl and her grandma got out from under the dock. When all is over, the girl still doesn't like her grandma that much but she has started to like her, and vice versa for Granny.
