Pictures of Hollis Woods
I have read pages 1-97. My personal response is, if I have been an orphan like Hollis Woods and try to get away from another family and stay with the person I love; I would do the same thing Hollis did. I’m also relating to when Hollis remembers good times, I would also draw it and think about it.

A Child Called "It" Response
I can't relate to David the main character or author. What I’m trying to say is that my family is sometimes mad at me and give me consequences, but not like David’s mom. His mom is always treating him like a prisoner, i would relate to that if I’m a wrong person. But David’s mom is always abusive to him like she got him almost burn to death. Yesterday i read the part when they had a vacation to a cabin where the boys were planning to go slide in the swirly slide, but one little thing that David didn’t do made his mother so furious. His mother forced David to eat a solid diaper but David couldn’t refuse, because he knows if he does he’ll get into more trouble.

== If I Stay  ==  In if I stay I’m predicting that her choice is to either stay with her boyfriend Adam or move with her parents. I was thinking that if she stays with her boyfriend, she will have problems with him and probably lose a home. Or if she stays with her parents she will miss Adam. Right now I’m reading Pg. 80. The past pages has been depressing, this is because one big thing, ruins the chances and choices that Mia has. One of the key events is when Mia is in the hospital and she sees everyone and what they’re doing but her relatives and her friends can't see her so she is like a "spirit". Now I’m on page 115, in the past story, Adam came to see Mia but he couldn’t actually see her but then he planned a great idea that will lead him and Mia’s best friend uphill or downhill. One of my questions is, which choice will Mia decide on, stay with Adam but go to the Julliard School or stay with her mom? But then when i kept going on and finished If I Stay, Mia has the choice of staying to follow her dreams or literally moving with her family. When i finished this book I got really shocked, this is because the choice that Mia made was surprisingly different. And .....   == Beastly  ==


 This novel is an amazing book. 1.) This is because I cannot put this book down. 2.) This is very descriptive. 3.) This teaches readers the story of “don’t judge a person by their outside". this book teaches readers what true beauty really means.
