I have finished 265 pages and I'm pretty sure I'll continue reading over this weekend. I think that so far, this book has been pretty interesting. When I first started reading this book, I was like..oh my gosh this is pretty interesting but now that im like two thirds done with it and I look back, it wasn't thaat great. It was just my initial reaction because I just came out of reading a book called The Lovely Bones which wasn't packed with much excitement. So, each chapter is like a semester of Lee's school year. A lot of things have changed.
At first, Lee was a lonely girl who was at Ault on a scholarship. Now, she has a fair amount of friends. But, she still doesn't completely fit in with the average rich and confident students there. One thing that changed was her relationships with people. After such few conferences with her parents, she isn't as close to them anymore. During parent's weekend, she even got slapped by her dad for being so disrespectful. She also changed roomates and her friend from freshman year, Conchita isn't very good friends anymoe because she thought that Lee used her to get to know Martha, her current roomate.
One thing that Lee said that really left an impression on me was when she talked about how certain people and relationships were meant to happen to help you learn and prepare for future ones. I think this is very true, the people you hurt the most and treat the worst are the ones that make you realize your mistakes. This part of the book, (pg 245) is my favorite, as of now. I will hopefully finish this book really soon like..before the end of next week..or maybe even in the middle.
