our lit circle

I think our literature circle went very good. We talked about specific events in the book including the part about the jail and going out on survival. I don't really like this book though because it goes back and forth like flashbacks. I think we did good in our literature circle but i have not got far in this book because i don't like it.

TEXT TO SELF CONNECTION

Shot! as she said yes to believing in god, cassie bernall was just getting away from drugs and trouble, she moved to a new school and just as things started getting better two boys came into the school and killed many peopl. This book is very sad and tragic, i think anyone would like to read this book.
In the book She Said Yes by Misty Bernall, Brad (Cassies dad) learns how people can often get dissapointed. Misty (Cassies mom) says "I am frusterated by how quickly Brad has come to terms with all that has happened to us and i get angry at him."
I understan how Misty feels because i am angry with my step dad for the pain he has put me through. He got over my moms death like two weeks after she was gone. It may have been longer than that but it did not seem like that long.
The connection between me and the book is that often people get angry with how people come to terms with deaths in the family. My mom passed away and my step father moved on very quickly. Misty's daughter got killed and Brad moved on quickly as well.
