Status Updates From Controlled Burn

"...I could make sure I never let something like this happen again" (Downing 138). Personally I have been so surprised at how many things the main character is afraid of. Although the book has been slow we are getting closer to when she conquers her fears. I think that there will be a fire with no one around so she will have to deal with it all by herself.

The plot of this book is really good! The action starts right in the first chapter. This book is all about conquering your fears and being brave. "I had never felt so helpless and alone" (Downing 47) I think that the main character will get caught in another fire and will do better this time than in the last fire.
