Hush Hush Becca Fitzpatrick Page 188

If I had the chance to talk to one of the characters in my book, I would choose to talk to Patch. Why, you ask? Well he is totally mysterious. He has this deep dark side that Nora cant quite figure out, and I like trying to figure out why the author choose this type of person to put in her book. If I had three questions, to ask Patch, I would ask him, "How did you feel when you found out that the person you were trying to kill was the love of your life?". I would ask this question because I couldn't believe that of all the people, why Nora? What about her makes you want to kill her? Number two, "What were your thoughts on Elliot? Why didn't you kill him from the start?" I would ask this because I didn't like Elliot, I thought he was up to something bad, and when the author told us he was, I wanted to hurt Patch for not doing something about it in the first place. And finally, "Why didn't you like Dabria as much as she liked you?" I would ask this because Dabria was so into Damien, she risked loosing her wings to give him information. She loved him even though he didn't love her. I just don't understand what he didn't like about her.

Please stop laughing at me. Jodee Blanco

My book is about a girl who is tortured by students in her class because she sticks up for some of the people that arent as smart or arent as good looking as the rest of them. Basically she sticks up for the social outcast and she gets punished for it. This relates to me because believe it or not i was the big meanie in elementary school. I was really mean to my classmates just because none of them wanted to "play" with me. I was always left out when it came to birthday parties and other social events. I made fun of cheerleaders and the "jocks" because i was jealous of the things they had and I didnt. I got made fun of all the time and i beat people up for it. Basically as one way to refer to me is as the "Georgia" in elementary. People hated on me because of how I treated them. It was my own fault but i acted like they hated me for no reason and I didnt understand. I remember sitting at home while one of my fellow peers went out and I was never invited. I never understood why i was treated this way until i came to Earlham. Here I am somebody. I have the worlds greatest friends ad i appreciate what they do for me. :)
