Reaction: I wouldn't go to that community because i have 3 brothers and I dont want to lose 2 of them. Parents should get to choose how many they want. Why does it have to boy and girl?

Reaction: How can the apple change if it didn't change size, and shape. That is hard to figure out maybe he needs glasses.Joans probbaly was haluusinating and maybe it looked like the apple change like in the front cover of the book the apple is red and everything else is black and white. chatisement-a kick-in-the-butt talk or punishment
