Question

Michael was the star quarterback of the football team and he was dating Amanda Barnes, the captain of the cheerleading squad. Everything was going perfectly for them until Michael was seriously injured during one of the last games of the season. The doctors told him that he would probably never play football again and that he would have to wear a large cast on his leg for several months. Amanda stayed really close with Michael immediately after the injury, but then she started to change. She would not visit him often. She would not wait by his locker or help him carry his books to class anymore. Also, he noticed that she was talking more and more with Ken Madsen, the new quarterback. This upset Michael greatly. Then one day Amanda told him that she and Michael needed to have a talk after school. Michael did not like the sound of that. 9. What does Amanda want to talk about with Michael? _____________________________________ 10. Why does Amanda want to have this talk? ______________________________________

Answer 1

Amanda likely wants to talk about the state of her and Michael's relationship after his injury and her recent behavior change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the context of the relationship changes after Michael's injury, it seems probable that Amanda wants to talk to Michael about the status of their relationship, as she has been distancing herself and seems to be showing interest in Ken Madsen, the new quarterback. The reason Amanda may want to have this talk is likely due to her own feelings and perhaps the development of feelings for someone else. It might be that she's feeling conflicted and is trying to navigate these changes in a respectful and honest manner with Michael.
