For We Can Fly/ Up, Up And Away


In Perfect, Lucas Beattie takes Hanna on a ride she'll never forget...in a hot air balloon. Soaring over Rosewood, Hanna finally has some time to herself.


"It was so nice and quiet up here. There were no traffic sounds, no annoying birds, just the sound of wind. Best of all, A wasn't up here. Hanna felt so free. Part of her wanted to fly away in a balloon for good, like the Wizard of Oz." ~Perfect, pp. 187-188


Up in the hot air balloon, Hanna lets go of all the pressure she puts on herself to be popular. It's as if, from a distance, it just doesn't matter any more. Why do you think her perspective changes so much when she's with guys like Lucas and Mike?

Comments:

First comment oh ya!!!!Anyways i think Hanna's perspective is changed because Lucas and Mike are so laid back and won't judge her for who she is so she just doesn't care what she says or does.Don't i sound smart!! Peace!!! ha that is old !!!!:)

They're the type of people she can be herself with, that won't judge her. They don't care if she's popular, or if she has the latest designer clothes. They like her for...her.

They don't care about her being popular because they genuinly like her. Plus she has fun around them, especailly Mike.

because she doesnt have to live up to certain standards with them they dont care if shes nor popular because they both liked her when she wasnt they like her for who she is and they thought she was pretty when Ali didnt and when she was unpopular in the 7th grade

I think she doesnt care when she is with them because they accept her for her. And she doesnt have to impress them..she can just be herself. When she is with her "friends" she is always trying to prove that she is better and with Lucas and Mike, she can let go all of that. They want her for her true self..Lucas didnt understand the popular thing. But Mike does understand and he accepts it cause he is in the same situation.

MIke and Lucas do not judge Hanna too much for her actions.
