summary:
Katherine receives a package from her grandmother. It is filled with Planned Parenthood pamphlets. Katherine then telephones Planned Parenthood and makes an appointment with them. In chapter fifteen, one of the clinicians at Planned Parenthood asks Katherine several personal questions about her relationship with Michael. They then discuss various birth control devices. Katherine is also tested for gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease. By the end of the chapter, Katherine has chosen a birth control pill to use. Katherine tells Michael that she has a surprise for him. She tells him that she is now on the pill.
Quote:
"Like my mother said, you can't go back to holding hands and anyway, I don't want to" (Blume, 125)
Reaction:
Katherine's mother wants her daughter to grow up, and Kath also realizes that she is growing. "you can't go back to holding hands", to me, this quote means to think ahead. thinking ahead meaning, planning ahead. Kath's mother wants kath to think/plan ahead before reacting to a situation. That shows the coming of age of katherine.
