Now the
problems keep going on...... and she doesn’t do anything to solve them. Every
year Caitlin’s mother throws a party on April, Caitlin invites her friend and
her boyfriend Rogerson. on the party Rogerson got very angry because Caitlin
was with her friends... so when she got to Rogerson’s car (where he was waiting
for her) he like always hit her and kick her, luckily for Caitlin all the parry
saw what happened including her mother, she got to the car and yelled Rogeron
after that Caitlin mother called the police and they took care of him. After
all the drama on the party Caitlin went to a center to get help after all what happened
to her. She got visits by her best friend and her mother check on her too. After
all that her life got clean and on the right track, she got the help she needed
and stop smoking too! After the center she got home and Cass was waiting for
her there....!!!"I was worn out, broken: He had taken almost everything. But he had been all I’d had, all this time. And when the police led him away, I pulled out of the hands of all these loved ones, sobbing, screaming everything hurting, you try and make him stay." (Dessen, 218)
Finally threw truth came out! This quote happens on the party the moment that the police man took Rogerson, Caitlin didn’t want the police to take him, in the quote explains how she said he was all she had. I think that what made Caitlin do all of this things was because she feel like she didn’t have anyone, now that her sister was gone she felt all alone. I think that that’s the reason way she involved in all of that stuff with Rogerson she felt that he was the only one for her, that’s way she didn’t say anything about smoking and the truth about Rogerson hitting her on every little single mistake she made. This quote is very important it can tell allot of things and also is the point of view of Caitlin, the answer to her problems and the reason of all her acts.
"But I wouldn’t drown. I could already see the sky, iridescent and just beyond the water above me. And farther on, much farther, was dreamland. But for now, I wanted only to stay between them, floating on all the blue at last." (Dessen, 249)
For me this quote is everything... I connect with this quote I can tell many things too about it. This quote says everything to me... I can understand what dose DREAMLAND meant to Cass on the note when she left... I can understand that dreamland is far from here and that now she is following a good path she is with Cass and she doesn’t have Rogerson to hit her! I connect with this quote because sometimes I feel like crap and sometimes I feel like Caitlin like I’m on dreamland but I prefer to stay on my life and keep on al the difficulties that life gives you to make you stronger so you can then go to DREAMLAND I connect dreamland with haven because I think that for me my dreamland is on heaven with god!
Lastly,
I love this
book I recommend you all to read it is really cool and teaches you allot of
things for life. I really connect allot with this book and I think that you all
connect to. this really show me to NEVER STAY QUIET and to STAY STRONG no
matter what, like this could happen to anyone to be abuse and for love or fear
of losing that person you stay quiet and tolerate the violence that can happen
so be aware and stay strong because we all have problem to solve and this book really
gives you staring to keep on like Caitlin and no matter what continue and try
to pass that rock in from of you path and ......ILL SE YOU IN DREAMLAND! 
Manu,
ReplyDeleteFirst Star: You bring out the topic about sisterhood and love towards your sister and how the love of a family is stronger than anything. I can connect with this book because I also have a sister and if she had a boyfriend and run away with him I would be pretty mad about it. I liked the most how you described that love of a family more specifically the love of two sisters. I also like how you bring your own personal life about your sister who lives in Chile I thought it was a great connection.
Second Star: I like the way you describe the case going on and you put feelings to it. Cases like this do happen in our daily life about teenage girls who run away with their boyfriends and in my own opinion I believe is an immature and dumb decision to make. I also like the quotes you use and how you describe them.
Wish: I wish you check you spelling more often because I had some difficulties trying to read your point. Also try to structure and order better your ideas so the reader can read fluently without difficulties and add suspense.
Good Job :)
Manuela, I thought that your blogs was good but it still had somethings to improve. First, I liked how you connected the book to your own life making it more interesting to read. I also enjoyed some of your quotes and you did a decent job at describing the book. With that in mind, I would like to see you dig deeper into the true meaning and themes of your book to create a more complete analysis in your blog and make it appealing to the reader. Furthermore, you should really focus on your grammar and the tense of your verbs to avoid making mistakes. With all that taken to account, I think that you should practice to improve your skills but generally did a good job in your blog.
