Status Updates From Get Me out of Here! (Middle...

Characterization: The characterization for Rafe is a troublemaker and a humorous person. The way I know this is because of the fact that he is always causing trouble in his schools and trying to make the stories he tells funny. The characterization for his sister is a tattletale. She is always telling on Rafe for things he doesn't that's none of her business

Setting: The setting at this point of the book is at a Sleepover at the Gallates. Rafe said '' Out of all the things I never, ever expected to happen in my life, I'd say that a Sleepover at Jeanne Galletta's house was somewhere near the top of the list.'' Rafe said it was one of the weirdest sleepovers ever and how he had to sleep alone in a dark scary guest room.

Making Connections: I make connections to this book because I connect to Rafe. This is because he is a middle schooler and he doesn't like it and wants to leave just like me. His school is crazy and stuff is always going on which relates to my middle school. I don't really like school that much and I don't really like all the work that stresses me out

Conflict: The conflict in this book is that Rafe, who is now in an art school after getting expelled from HVMS, (Hills Village Middle School) and is struggling to compete with the other students who are significantly better than him at art. And again, he tries to break every single "dumb" rule in the book.

Point of View: The point of view from the main character, Rafe Khatchadorian, is first person. The reason I know this is because of the way the story is told. Rafe is always using the words, "I, me, we, us," etc. He is also telling the story in a way where he knows what is happening and makes assumptions on what other people are thinking, showing that he does not truly know what they are thinking.

Rafe has been getting some good luck, and bad luck. First, his mom’s work was burned down, so he has to go to a new school. He has to stay at his grandma’s house, and sleep on the couch. Hopefully Rafe’s life will get better.
