Reaction
When I read this in the book I connected to it because Scarlett was telling Halley not to leave her in this scary time for the both of them.  I connected to this because when I was younger and scared like Scarlett, when I broke my foot, I told my cousin not to leave my side but she did.  She told me that she did not want to but she had to.  I can connect to Scarletts feelings even if it was a different situation.
