Use specific details from the text to support your ideas. Answer: In the beginning of the story Zuri is angry that Danitra is leaving for the summer. She is her best friend, and she cant imagine her summer without Danitra, so she ends up saying mean things to her like, I have better things to do when Danitra asks her to come say goodbye to her. When Danitra writes a letter to Zuri telling her that she wishes Zuri was with her, things begin to change. Zuri starts to have fun with other neighborhood friends that she didnt notice before like Nina. She also starts to enjoy writing letters back and forth to Danitra, and through these letters and Danitras reassurance that she wishes Zuri were with her, Zuri learns that she can still be friends with Danitra even though they are far apart.
