"No Escape"

"No Escape" in Mee Street Chronicles by Frankie Lennon is a story about a little girl that gets scared. She wakes up in the middle of the night trying to find her parents. She can't find them and tries to escape from her house before any "monsters" get her. There are many things I learned from reading this, such as: don't panic and take your time.

It is important not to panic when you're in a scary situation. It makes things a lot worse. Being in a scary or bad situation is stressful enough, if you start to panic it is harder to handle. You start thinking bad thoughts and scare yourself even more, just like that little girl in "No Escape." She kept thinking all things were going to get her, but she had her fairy godmother, it helpedher not panic as much.

Another important lesson I learned was take your time, if you rush you panic. In the story the little girl tried to rush out of her house to find her parents before the "monserts"could get her. She was trying and rushing to open the door that she couldn't. It was when her godmother that told her to use something to help her reach the lock. She had to relax and think about what she was doing in order to succeed. So I learned if you just stop, relax and think of what to do everything will work out.

In both lessons I learned they can help whenever. It is very common when in a bad situation that you panic and rush, and those make the situation ten times worse. It is important to relax, take a minute and think of everything you have to do. Just breath and it will help you overcome any bad or awkward situation.
