The Reading Room

Walt: discuss the problems and the solution in sequence.

In the story, The Reading Room there are two problems.

The first problem is Lisa sneaking into the bathroom to finish her book about Mark being lost in the sandstorm. But she can’t finish her book because her sister Kathy is wanting to have a shower. So she can go to the movies.

The last problem is that Kathy is wanting to have a shower so she can wash her hair. Kathy can’t have a shower because Lisa is reading her book in a quiet place where no one can disturb her.
