1. Right now Pennywise is continuing to claim innocent victims, his most recent kill was a boy who was thrown off of a bridge. A bunch of youth kids took him and threw him over because he was gay. The police arrested everyone who was there and took them in to questioning. It is later found out that someone tried to bite through the boy's arm as if they were trying to eat his heart. They boys who threw the other boy over the bridge all denied trying to consume Adrian's (the boy who was murdered) flesh. It was also found out that there was a clown underneath the bridge holding hundreds of balloons with Adrian's name on them.

2. I am liking the book so far because I am extremely scared. It has a creative way about it. There are only two things I do not like about it. Number one is the way stephen king writes and how he uses very explicit words and detail. Also I don't like how it is confusing that the book is called it and when I use the word it while describing the book there are a lot of questions about how I am using it.

3. Right now I think the theme is fear. I think this because the policemen interrogating the boys who killed Adrian finds out that there is a lot more to the story then meets the eye, but he is so afraid of what would happen if he continues to look further into the story. Also, the man who watched little Georgie die in the beginning was also afraid of what would happen if he said what he saw.

4. My favorite character right now is Doug. I like him because he is very strong through what has happened to him. He cares very deeply that his boyfriend Adrian was thrown over the bridge and even though he is heartbroken he remains calm and does his best to cooperate with the police in telling them a story that is hard to believe.

5. My least favorite character is Mike. I don't like him not because of his personality but mainly because I don't really know that much about him at the moment and I feel suspicious that not that much information has been brought to my attention.

6. I think that It is going to continue to kill children with the occasional adult and then a group of policemen are going to put two and two together and figure out what has happened. Then I think they will try to kill It but when they think he is dead it turns out he isn't.
