THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

Temp season is active and it seems like everybody is learning how to drive. This includes me. So I tried to balance studying for my test with independent reading. But anyway Counting sevens is getting easier to read. Willow was staying with her friend Mai after Willow's parents died. But then a social worker came and took Willow to take her to a foster home of some sort. But when she was waiting in the home she saw for the first time a newspaper of her parents death with an actual picture of her parents totaled van. She passed out like any normal human would do and hit her "glabella"(you need to read the book to get the reference). It was a pretty serious injury and Willow was rushed to the hospital, where after getting nine, not seven, stitches, she ran away. Willow's old counselor Dell Duke in notified and he asks Mai if she would have any idea where Willow is. This part surprised me because Mai didn't seem the least bit concerned about Willow running away as if she knew that's what she needed. It was kind of strange. Right now the goal is the find some type of climax or turning point because it almost feels as if the death of Willow's parents was rushed and it doesn't get anymore dramatic than that. I try to come up with criteria of what makes something a good book, or what I like about books but I can't seem to make a rubric. I know what I like and I'll enjoy it when I see it. It's been a long time since I've found a book that I would hold on my lap and read during class. A book that I was so desperate to get back to that I would try to finish my classwork early. I haven't found that book yet. The last book that made me feel like that was Divergent.
