The Face on the Milk Carton
As we finished the first half of the book The Face on the Milk Carton the main character, Janie Johnson, got the answers to these three important questions:
- Why there weren’t any photographs of [her] until she was five?
- Who was Hannah?
- Why [her parents] wouldn’t let her see [her] birth certificate?
It seems that by the end of Chapter 9 the story should end as the important questions, mentioned-above, have been answered. However, it doesn’t - in fact, we are only half way through the book and there still is much left to resolve (to clear up). To help prepare for the remaining half of the book I would like you to answer the following questions (there are no right or wrong answers):
- What will happen with Janie and her parents? Will the relationship stay the same or will it change? Will Janie continue to treat Frank and Miranda as her parents or will she begin to treat them like grandparents? Will she be able to trust them as they have been lying to her all these years? Or will they become closer as a result of their past?
- What will happen with Janie and Hannah? Will Janie try to find her biological mom? Will she do it with the help of her mom and dad (Miranda and Frank)? Or will Janie decide that since Hannah left her once before and hurt her mom and dad there should be no reason for her to try to find her?
- What will happen with Janie and Reeve? Will they make up (they were in a fight the last time they were together)? Will they become officially boyfriend/girlfriend? Or will they just return to being friendly neighbors?
- Janie doesn’t have a birth certificate - will she be able to get a driver’s license or go to Spain with her class? This last question is more of a yes/no type of question. Regardless of what answer you choose, tell me why it did/didn’t happen and, if possible, how it happened if you answered yes.
Again, keep in mind that as you answer these questions there are no right or wrong answers, just your thoughts. If there are possbilites that you have thought of and I have not – please feel free to include them. Do the best that you can!! If you need some help, please politely ask for some help — there is only one of me and many more of you…

#1 Well i think that it will stay the same, but i think she wont trust them as much as she did. But i think that she will still treat them the same. #2 Well i think that she will try and find her mother for her grand parents just to make them happy that they have there daughter back.#3Well i think that they will get in to an arguement because she is going to probably talk to him about what happen and hes not going to want to. #4I think that they can go get a copy of it but she will still probably be able to go if not owell.

3. I think mabe janie and reeve will go out .
4. I dont think jaine wont be able to go or get a drivers license.
[Reply]
i think that janie and her parents will have a better relation ship togethar because now that they dont have to keep or hide anything from her and now that they told her about her real mom maby they could go see her real mom some day. janie and her real mom hanna can maby for give her parents and let janie stay with her parents and if hanna has her life to gethar maby janie can go back and live with her. janiue and reece mite get togethare and maby have a life togethar. with janie not having her birth sertificate i think that she mite be able to get on or in some things but not all without her sertificate.
[Reply]
I think that Janie and her parents will be a happy family. I think that Hannah will return and not reconize Janie.They are going to not talk for a while and then become boyfriend and girlfriend. I think she will be able to go to Spain and get a license.
[Reply]
1. ☻janies parents will not let her go to her mom hanna
2.janie will not like the way her real mom lives
3.i think janie and reeve will get married
4.janie will not◘get her drivers licence
[Reply]
What i think will happen to Janie and her parents will be they will be so much happier now that they told her the truth and Janie will feel more safer and relieved.
I dont think that Janie will go looking for her biological mom because she doesnt feel that its right that she left her there with her grandparents to take care of her and not her taking the respondsilbility on taking care of her only child.
I believe that Reeve and Janie will get over the hole fighting thing and finally start dating because they really like each other and they have none each other for a long time. I think that Janie will get her drivers licence because they could go find her mom and find out where she was born and they could go and get a copie of her birth certificate and then she would get her drivers licence.
[Reply]
Ithink that the relationship between the grandparents and her will still be the same only she wont call them mom, and dad anymore. I think she will still trust them and understand they were try to protect her.I also think that Janie, and her real mom will meat and they will stay incontact and her mom will get out of the cult with the help of her douter, mom, and dad. As for Janie, and Reeve they will make up, and end up going out. Janie will get her birth certificate, and get her drivers license, and go to the trip to Spain her class. Thats what i think will happen.
[Reply]
[1] I think that Janie and her parents are going to seperate.
[2] Ithink that there going to talk to each other and get back together.
[3] Ithink there going to get back together.
[4] Ithink that she wont get her drivers license.
[Reply]
What will happen to Jannie and her parents (grandparents) is, Jannie will always forgive them and she (jannie) will treat them like if they were her real parents. What I think will happen with her and Hannah her mom is, jannie will call her and hannah is going to go viset her and her parents (hannahs parents). When jannie saw all the love she asked her mom hannah to live with them and her mom dosent know what to saw so . . . . . . yah. What will happen to jannie and reeve is they make up and they start to go out and reeve dose another move on jannie. jannie finally gets her birth certificate and she gets yo go to spain with her friends.
[Reply]
the story so far is very nice janie found out the true now and i really like the story.
[Reply]
I think she will want to find her real parent’s and will call the number on yhe milk carton.I think Janie will get along with Hannah but will ask her many questions regarding why she left her. I think she will end up meeting Hannah and will get her birth certtifacte.
[Reply]
1)it will stay the same. 2).janie will want them to call her mother once 3)they will still like each other. 4)she will get it from her mom
[Reply]
i think Janie and her parents are going to stay togerther because she told them that she wouldent want to find her real mom and dad.i dont think Janie will try to find her biological mother because she loves her grandparents and because her grandparents said that they did not want to loose another child.Janie and reeve will just be nice neibors.If janie does not have a birth certificate then she wouldent be able to drive or go to that feild trip with her classmates.
[Reply]
1.they would go to jail
2.they would go to fosters
3.they would have to go seperate
4.she would have to spain there class
[Reply]
What I think may happen with Janie and her parents or grandparents is that Janie may not trust her grandparents because they have lied to her her whole life. What may happen with Janie and Hannah is that they will meat while Janie is being driven by Reeve by that one place that Hannah had went off to when she was like 15/16 and Hannah may recognize her by the color of her eyes or she might just feel it. What I think will happen with Janie and Reeve is that they will get together and they willbe girlfriend and boyfrien for the rest of the story/novel. I don’t really think that Janie will be able to do either of them because she has no idea wher her mom might be or where her birth certificate may be.
[Reply]
1. I think that she will not have as good of a relationship with her grandparents because they lied to her and I think that she will not trust them alot eney more.
2. I think that she will go loking for her mom and she will get into trouble but reeve will save her.
3. Reeve will love her and marry her and jani will take the babby just like her mom did to her parents.
4. I think they will fake a birth certificate for her to get her drivers licence and to go on the trip to spain but thy will get caught during the end.
[Reply]
becase there grandparents
janies mom
1because they rae not legle her parents
2nothing will happen
3they will never meet
4she will get both
[Reply]
I think that Janie will treat them the same. Because she loves them just like a mom and dad.Im hopeing that Janie will go and find her mom someday. I think that they are just going to be friends because all the girls are flirting with him at the honers breakfist. Maybe Janies mom will go and get it at the bank.Yes she will get her drivers license and she will be able to go to Spain.
[Reply]
I think that janie will still call them mom and dad but like then she will keep thinkin about her mom and what happened .Janie and Hannah hmmmmmmm i think that Janie will try too look for her.Lets see Janie and Reeve will go out eventually how long it’ll be .I dont think that she will be able to go to on those trips because i dont really think that the birth certificate is at the bank i think that her mom has it. So yea i think this lol.
[Reply]
I think what will happen is that she ‘ll treat them as grandparents again. They’ll be brought back together. That they’ll kiss and make up like couples do.I think that shes going to make up a pasport.
[Reply]
I think the relationship will grow between Janie and her parents. She would probley treat them as her parents since they have got closer. They will be able to trust each other know that she has found out. I think that she will try to find her mom.I think that she will still go and find her because she would wan to know the true story and why she hurt her parents.I think that they will make and become boyfriend and girlfriend.I dont think that she would be able to get her drivers license because Hannah didnt ever give them one.
[Reply]
1. I think there realashionship is going to stay the same because she still will never get to see Hannah again.
2. I think that nothing is going to happen because she still never saw Hannah and she will never see her.
3. I think that Janie and Reeve are going to get back together.
4. I think that she is not going to get to go to Spain with her class or get her driver license bacause she cant do any of those things in lees she has her driver license.
[Reply]
the reletionship with janie and her parents will stay the same, and janie will continue to treat frank and marinda the same,and yes she will trust them.i don’t think that janie will go out and find her mom,or i think that she will find her mom by herself.about janie and reese i think that they will become friends.yes she will get her driver linces.
[Reply]
I think that Janie relationship with her parents would be more close togther because her mom toll her what happen with Hannah. Janie toll her mom that she would not run away like Hannah did. I really dont know Janie and Reese relationship so i kant really say nothing about it. Janie would not be able to get her driver’s license. Why? Well in order to get your driver’s license you have to have your brith certificate. Well with that i guess i am done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
It will not chyhange because her mom and dad are married
Well what i think will happen with janie and hannah will be is that miranda and frank diffrent
They will not be together any more because they broke up a long time ago
She wouldnt be able to because she doesn’t have a birh cerificate .
[Reply]
1.what i think is that they will stay the way they are because jaine accept there Apolagy. she said it was okay that she did not care about what they did and she did not care if they where her grandparents thta they will always be her parents even though they realy are not .yes she will trust them because they are her grandparents. they will forget the past and keep on going with out a problom
2. what i think is going to happpen with jaine and hannah is that they will meet and be together and have fun together and will not have any probloms. yes she will try to find her real mom. yes she will try to get help from her grandparents.
3.tes they will make-up because they like each other. yes they will be gf and bf.
4. she will get her bi0rth- citificate back and she will get her lisence and then she will geyt her car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
1. I think that Janie and her parents might be ok but not how they were before also she might not trust them.
2. I think that Janie will want to find her real mom because I would want to but thats me.
3. I think that Janie and Reeve might just be friends for most of the time.
