"No one is born evil. No one."

Tulip made Natalie run up and down the street until her face was really sticky and burning.

Tulip was also very cruel to Natalie's friends as well, She use to always stamp on their games even if she was playing and she lost or if she was not playing. Tulip is very stubborn girl too.

Tulip makes Natalie feel uncomfortable. Tulip is sometimes sarcastic to Natalie too. We know this because Tulip once wanted to make a dustbin fire, but Natalie refused so Tulip started being sarcastic by saying, "Does the itsy bitsy baby want to go back to mummy."

Now that annoyed Natalie but she had no choice but to do what Tulip said. Because she knew if she didn't then Tulip would do something very bad.

Tulip would do anything for trouble. She is very self minded and she only cares about self (meaning she is selfish.) She does not care whether anyone is hurt and she is cruel to wildlife.

Tulip is always rude to Natalie and that really aggravates Natalie and Natalie also hates Tulip.

Natalie is not very knowledgeable either. She is out of school rather than in school.

Tulip practically dresses like a Tramp too. She always wears a worn jacket and she wears cheap clothes.

But maybe it is not Tulips fault the way that she behaves. It maybe is all her dads fault that she acts this way.

Tulip's father could be the one who is to blame. Maybe Tulip copies her dad by doing the things that he does, and the things that he does are very horrible and ruthless. The evil things that Tulip's dad has done, Tulip has done the same.

Tulip's dad is cruel to animals and he is cruel to other people and he is even nasty to his own family. He always beats up Tulip and he beats up Tulip's mum. He probably beats up Tulip for then the mum could be involved to stop it and then could beat her up too. So maybe he beats up Tulip so he can beat up Tulip's mother (he uses Tulip.)

That last paragraph also shows that Tulip's dad influences Tulip to do all these horrible things. By doing all these evil things, Tulip thinks that it is ok to do all these bad things.

She also comes from a really rough place and she has a rough background in her life as well. Her parents don't care about her education either.

But even though Tulip is treated like this at home, she has no excuse to treat everyone else horribly. And there is no need for her to copy her dad. She shouldn't take advantage of everyone else either.

Tulip wets her bed her as well when she is at home. This is also evidence that Tulip is very scared when she is at home. But she is completely different when she is out of her house (away from her dad.)

Natalie's father does not want Natalie to hang around with Tulip but he feels very sorry for Tulip. He feels sorry for because of the clothes that she wears, the rough area that she comes and the rough background in her life that she has. And when Natalie's father and Tulip are alone, Tulip starts acting good and cheerful, as if she is a really good girl and that she gets treated really badly for nothing.

So Natalie's father does not say anything to Natalie about not hanging around with Tulip because of that Tulip is a loner and that she needs a friend because of the situation she is in at home.

Despite of the kindness Natalie's father gives to Tulip, she burns his palace hotel for no reason at all except for that Tulip is evil, sick and also twisted.

Tulip also was using Natalie for her to do things for her and show off and be big headed that she has got one friend.

She is showing off about Natalie because no one would ever have her in his or her gang.

But Natalie is to blame for as well because she didn't do anything to stop the friendship earlier or even help Tulip become more kind and friendly. But Natalie started doing something when it was too late.

But the only words to describe Tulip are SICK, TWISTED, STUBBORN AND SELFISH. And as it says in the book "No one is born evil. No one."

So it was Tulips fault that she was like this and others were to blame too.
