The reading this time was very extensive and there was a lot to take in. The point of views continued to be the told by the same characters only this time I got to see this from Jeremiah Rice’s point of view. I get to view different point of view and can tell who is in for themselves for wealth and profit. Characters true colors begin to emerge and by now I consider Mr. Carthage as the villain, he is the EPITOME, or best example of evil in this book. I just thought man why can’t that guy leave Jeremiah live his life since he only has limited time. Although I am Catholic and believe that only God has the power over who lives or dies, I’m quite LIBERAL, and a word you can replace that with is open minded, to the issue of people being frozen and brought back to life years later. Jeremiah and Kate are innocent of this whole ordeal and they shouldn't be dragged into the whole conflict created by Carthage. For example, Mr. Carthage is described to take advantage of any opportunity he gets to make profit for himself which makes him a FRUGAL person but not in a good way.

My pace of reading was reading as fast as I could. Most of the science taking place contradicts my DISDAIN towards science because the author makes me find it actually interesting. I had to pause a couple times and get my thoughts together then reread other chapters to make sure me and the book are on the same page. I was very enthusiastic about this book but I can replace enthusiastic with EXUBERANT and it means the same thing. I’m super excited about the relationship between Kate and Jeremiah. I hope they end up together and Jeremiah manages to live in that time since they said he could only live for 21 days but more time has passed since that. For example, one of the INTREPID actions was when Jeremiah helps form an argument so Kate doesn't get fired. So Kate comes to an agreement, or ACCORD, with Mr. Carthage so she can stay with Jeremiah. I think I had a much harder time reading this time than last time and I’m not sure why.

Elizabeth, this looks short. Also, you need context clues in here...good start.
