Week 2 Question

Hazel begins spending time with Sogoji and invites him to hang out with her again. She says "I wasn't sure about my reasons for making the invitation - friendship or Knowing the Enemy? - but when he smiled, it seemed like the right thing to do." Why do you think Hazel invited Sogoji to come to the hill again, to be friends or to keep an eye on the 'enemy?' Explain your thinking. What did she mean when she said it "seemed like the right thing to do?"

Please write you response in RAD format. Check your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization before you post.
