  1. Sam describes the Pandora box as a "box" in the back of his mind where he stores all of his bad memories and acts like they never even happened. For example , the day his dad left , he pretends it never even happened. I could say i do have a Pandora box, because im not the type to share my emotions. So , anytime something bad happens, i just act like it never occurred.

  2. A Pandora Box is a box in your mind where you can store all your bad memories. Sam mentions a Pandora's box in the story. He found out his sister Fel had a Bacardi rum with a long, thin glass tube attached to it. He didn't want to face the truth and placed this in the back of his mind where all his bad experiences were placed and sealed away. Yes, I have a Pandora's Box, I also placed the bad memories I've had in there.

  4. Sam describes the Pandora's box as where he seals his bad experiences, memories and thoughts away or as he thinks. When people argued and he saw it he went to the box, but he would rarely cry about things he put in the box. I don’t have a Pandora’s box.

  5. Sam has something that he calls his Pandora's box, which to us is just all of our bad memories, experiences, and other bad things that happened to us over our lives. Some things that he put in his box were when his parents fought, when his dad left, and his sister's addiction. I don't have a Pandora's box but there are a lot of bad memories and experiences, like Sam, that I do close off into my mind. I don't have a name for it, because I just like to forget.

  7. Sam describes Pandora's box as the place for his bad experiences and bad memories. For Example, when his father left him and his family or when his parents argued. When he seen bad things out on the streets he would put it all in the box where he could just hide it.

  8. For Sam his "Pandora's box" was a make believe spot i the back of his mind,where he placed his bad experiences,stored them,and sealed them forever.When his parents argued or when his dad left. Now as for myself i don't have a "Pandora's Box" i just go to a silent place in my house then look up at the wall and just begin to think and express my feeling to myself.

  9. Pandora's Box is where Sam placed his bad eperiences, stored them, and sealed them forever. For example, he put things in his box like when his parents argued or when his father left. This helped him keep sane because then there wasn't a bunch of sad things on his mind to keep him depressed. No, i don't have a Pandora's Box because I would much rather deal with my problems face to face rather than to hide them under my shell like Sam because I'll always be stressing about the situations no matter what.

  10. The Pandora's Box is described as a place where you stored in your bad experiences and that it is sealed them forever. In the story, Sam had bad experiences in his early life. It was after his father left him and that has affected him in so many ways in his life. Yes, i have a Pandora's Box; i also kept many of the bad memories in there.

  11. A Pandora's box is somewhere where you keep your troubles, that have or are going to happen. Sam is referring to what he has been through and how instead of showing his troubles and letting them out, he keeps them stored up. For example seeing his mother's crack pipe and drugs really hurt and he just tried to keep it away. I personally do not have a Pandora's box because I would hate to just act like the bad things in my life never happened, I'd probably be depressed.

  12. Pandora's box is described as a box in the back of Sam's mind to keep him from remembering all the terrible things in his life like how his father left him and that his brothers and sisters are doing drugs. I have pandora's box as well and I also keep all of the terrible events in my life

  13. The Pandora's box is where Sam keeps all his troubles. When something bad happens to Sam, he keeps it to himself and stores it away. Like when his father left, he kept his feelings to himself even though it really affected him. In a way I do have a Pandora's box. I keep somethings bottled up but not everything.

  14. The Pandora Box that Sam is talking about is a place in his mind where he puts all of his bad thoughts and bad things that have ever happened to him. I do not think I have a Pandora’s box because I don’t really try to think about bad things that happen to me, I try to forget them out of my mind completely.

  15. A Pandora's Box is a place a person's bad memories or evil intents are kept and stored away forever. Sam was referring to the things that happened to him in the past and things he doesn't want to bring up again. Like when he found his mom's crack pipe and drugs, it hurt him deeply but he repressed it. Personally I do have a Pandora's Box because I can't remember a lot of things.

  16. The Pandora box that Sam is talking about is a mental box in the back of his mind. In that box he puts all the bad things he knows or goes through or has gone through so that he does not have to think about them.
    I do have a Pandora box that i put bad experiences in so i don't have to think about them and that is probably how i get through the day.

  17. The Pandora's Box that Sam talks about in the book is a box in the back of his mind where he puts all the bad things and worries that bother him and "seals them forever". He tries to find the good things in his life by hiding away the terrible moments he has goes through, or is going through at the time.

  18. Sam's Pandora's Box was his place to hide all his pain. It's like a locked away storage box of bad memories. It was his way of coping with pain. He decided to just not deal with it and put it away. No I do not have a PB. I face my problems head on, and if it's something really big or painful, I always have a family member or friend to get through it with.

  21. On page 24 Sam is talking about a Pandora box that he used to put his bad memories away, his experiences, and sealed them away so they will never come back to him again. For me i try to just keep bad thoughts out of my mind they come back to me at times but i don't feel as bad as the first time it had happen. I don't use a Pandora box for my thoughts i let them come and go but they don't effect me.

  23. The Pandora's box in Sam's life is a box that he puts everything bad into and is bottled up. He says that he most likely never cries and never shares he feelings about the box. But there were times when someone would come in his life and he would tell everything that happened in his life.

  26. A Pandora's box is when your can put negative experiences from your life. Like Sam did when his father left him, his brothers and sisters had start using drugs. My Pandora's box had the negative things I did in the past, like not being faithful with my girlfriends and cheating on tests in middle school, but now I an huge progress on being faithful and studying for a test so I can do good on.

  27. Sam says that his Pandora's Box is where he stores all of his bad experiences from his life, such as his father leaving and his parents arguing, things that he would not want to remember and or face at the time. I wouldn't say that i have a pandoras box but i dont keep all of my feelings locked away, I contemplate and think A LOT before I change anything though, because as i have learned everything has a good and a bad.

  28. The Pandora's box Sam described is a place where he puts his bad memories. He stored the bad things that he's seen and the hurt feelings that he's felt in the back of his head. I have a pandora's box, and i believe everyone does because bad things happen everyday and sometimes your not mature enough to deal with them in a way you would like.
