Really good story. I think it was really well structured. It has a good plot twist at the end with Rita being told off. (Murilo)

She felt ashamed about living in Morro Verde but later she changed her mind and accepted that she lied to people because of her living place. Many people, especially the ones coming from slums or rural places don't feel proud where they are from.

1. At the beginning of the story, Clara didn't think anything about where she lives. She was ashamed when she heard Rita said that her neighbourhood is a dump place.
2. I think now she feels proud of her neighbourhood.
3. Yes, I am.
4. Yes, we have many.
5. In poor neighbourhoods, there's many disadvantages, especially for children. They grow up in a not good environment, in a bad condition, their parent are so busy to work out for money. They learn in poor quality, play in dangerous, eat unsafe food. They swear uncontrolled. They smoke early....Not always, but people think about them in negative.
About the quiz, in 7th question, I think Clara was upset because she lied, not because she thought she would have to leave the Youth Council.

Hi Tonucatien,
Thanks for your answers, I agree with a lot of what you say. In question 7, you're right she is upset because she lied and leaving the youth council would be a consequence of this, so I would say that is the closest of the three options. What do you think?
