body:

1. I have just begun reading this book and Eli, the main character, is checking out the compound that their dad had built for them. A nuclear bomb has gone off and they have gone intot he shelter. He realizes that his grandmother and twin brother were outside when they shut the door.

2. I feel that this book is good so far, especially in the way they are describing the compound. You really get a feel for what it looks like. Also, the book shows us how Eli feels about everything.

3. I think the theme is more sadness than fear at this point because of the loss of Eli's twin brother and grandmother. The loss of the natural world and being able to be outside is also hitting him hard.

4. My favorite character is Eli right now because it is explaining what he is going through and we have really only been introduced to him so far.

5. My least character right now is Eli's sister, Lexie. She does not seem to be upset over her family members who did not make it into the shelter

6. My prediction is that Eli will try to sneak out of the compound someday and be unsuccessful.
