1. Right now in my book, the main character Kate Malone just came home from her boy friend Mitchell Pangborne's house. A lot of stuff has been changing in Kate's life. Kate also just recieved the letter that she did not get accepted into MIT for college, this is awful because Kate did not apply to any saftey colleges. Nobody knows exept her boyfriend Mitchell and she is the first one who she told and she just told him. Mitchell also just changed his major because he did not want to live life pointless. He changed his mind from having a history major at Harvard. He changed his mind because Teri Linch ( a girl in her grade who beats people up) house burnt down and her father is the preist of the town so he took their family in. THe litche's are rebuilding their house and during the construction her little brother Mikey got electricuted and died. This turned everybody sad and that is where i am in the book right now.

2. I like this book a lot because it has a lot going on in it and I like the suspense. I dont usually read books like that because they do not interest me but in this particular case I really like it.

3. I have noticed the theme friendship between Teri Litch and Kate. I noticed it because when the Litche's moved in Teri and Kate hated eachother but know they are becoming friends because Kate is there for Teri after Mickey died.

4. Mickey was my favorite character before he died because he was so little and adorable and he seemed to put such a bright and happy mood to everything. I think that he would continue to be my favorite character throughout the book.

5. Teri Litch is my least favorite character because she is very bad and steals stuff which is bad. She also is mean to people and does not deserve happiness.

6. I think that Kate will find another college to go to and she will marry mitchell.
