Question

At the beginning of “Raymond's Run," Squeaky does not have a very positive Impression of Gretchen. In fact, she is

quite argumentative when they meet on the street before the May Day race. Have you ever had a situation where your
first impression of somebody turned out to be inaccurate? What about a situation where someone got a wrong first
Impression of you?
Your response should be about 150 words.

Answer 1

A time when someone got a wrong first impression of me was when my mom and I went to see one of her friends. Her friend had a daughter a little younger than me so we were told to go play while they were talking. We went to her room and she asked me what I wanted to do. I shrugged my shoulders because I wasn’t sure if she would like the same things that I did. I was afraid to suggest something because I didn’t want her to think I was weird. Since I shrugged, she asked me if I was mute so I said no. I just do not feel comfortable talking to people I do not know. She then asked me if I wanted to do a makeover and I immediately said no. She looked at me kind of funny and decided to ask me about playing video games. I was so excited that I jumped straight up and said yes! I’m sure my first impression on her was that I did not want to play with her but we finally found something we both enjoyed.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Yes, most of the people I'm friends with right now are very different of how I first them met. For an example, when I first met my best friend I thought she/he was extremely rude, ignorant, and selfish. In reality she/he is the most genuine, selfless, and kind hearted person I know. My best friends first impression of me was she thought I was a total nightmare, she saw me being "rude" to boy who was actually my cousin and we were playing around. Thats why we're currently best friends right now. A first impression is how a person could always see you, so try to always show someone new who you really are.
