1. The word fragile means a  delicate and smart boy  because in the text its talking about a boy named Elijah.

2. The clues that I found was that it states that Elijah says I try not to be  fragile by sucking down my looseness and  sloppiness, in my nose when they come and by not screaming and running off at the littlest nonsense.

3. The things that make me fragile is when my family might gives me compliments and how they tell me that I am fragile it feels funny because  I  didnt now what it means.
