I really like Connor! He is very smart. Even though in the beginning he made some pretty bad decisions he always ends up either fixing them or they make things better! He is also very nice to Risa although she may get annoyed when he does them but, she ends up knowing he is doing it for a good reason. He may not seem like it but he is a very good hearted person.

So far I love this book! The three main characters Connor, Risa, and Lev are unwinds who don't want to be unwound. They are very inspirational because they are the only ones out of everyone who knows that this is wrong. Being the person Lev is he rats Connor and Risa out and tells the police he was kidnapped by two unwinds.

In this part of the book they are explain how their fashion shows are me and set up and how they create the clothing in the shows. Many of the designers wanted to do something eye catching but not too over the top. They also try to make their clothes match the environment of the show. They also base designs on seasons.

In this part of the book they discus what helps them design their clothing. It is something called a "muse". Finding your muse can be something so simple as looking out a window or something more complex as thinking back to good times you've had. Many artist use this technique. Many artists find their muses with their lovers. A muse is your inspiration.

In this part of the they were explaining how the designers create their designs, and the methods they use. They usually have a muse. They also usually have a theme they like to use such as pattern, styles, or even fabrics. Many designers use their favorite things to help them design. In this part of the book the showed many pictures. Artists would often use patterns to appeal to the eyes especially for fashion shows.

I think that it is very inspiring to read about all of these designers and how they got to where they are now. Many of them started from nothing and are now some of the most famous people in the world. Such a Ralph Lauren. He is one of the most know designers in the world but it wasn't always like that. With hard work and determination he is where he is today. This shows that you can do anything if you try.

In this book it talks all about the lives of very famous fashion designers. They get advice from them and what makes them better and what helped them "find their muse," (39). A muse is what motivates someone to work. I think the author included this to help Amy aspiring designers. I think this whole book is to inspire everyone.

I'm just starting to read this book. Even though, it is a very challenging book, I enjoy it very much. In this book the author uses very strong adjectives to describe what the artists design, and what the models wear. This makes it very easy for me to visualize. Also the artist I just finished reading about Christopher Bailey, the designer for Burberry, talks about how to "always be positive" and you will never fail.

I think that the theme of this book is make the best of what you have. I think this because Toby and his mother are dirt poor and they just have to make the best of it. Toby is in a great school and if he finishes string he will make it through and can even help his mother.

So far, Toby is just a boy who is misbehaving for attention. I know he is doing this because ever since he and his mom have moved because his mom got a divorce, he has been misbehaving. Some things he is doing is skipping school, fighting, and talking back to teachers. For example, in the text he skips his archery class to just hang out and chill. Even though is being bad now I think he can change.

Toby has been misbehaving because he has no one to go to in his time of need. He and his mom are poor and that just adds more stress Toby and why he acts up. "So I passed the hours after school. Sometimes, not very often, I felt lonely." This show that Toby is skipping his after school class because he is having a rough time.

I really feel for Clay he is getting tortured by these tapes. The way Hannah tells the stories in the book are beyond scary and they make you feel terrible. I feel really bad for he because you can tell that she had a really tough time. I can tell that she really wants the people to suffer like she did.

At this point in the book, Clay is very desperate. I know this because he was so determined to find out what number on the toes he was, that he stole his friends Walkman. Also, he is very nervous because he doesn't know what he did, and doesn't want people on the list before him to judge him. I think that Clay has a little bit of insecurity.

Even though I am not very far in this book, I love it! While Clay is listening to the tapes he is very scared yet curious. I know this because at the sound of a pin drop he would jump, but he can't stop listening. For example, his mother walked in on him listening to the tapes and he told her that he was doing a school project. I think he will finish the tapes, just very slowly.

I think that the blossom festival goes deeper than just a festival to Mrs. Perch. I think it is because in the book she is so determined to make it perfect and doesn't want anyone to ruin it. One person who she doesn't want to read it is Hidly. She thinks that she is to caught up into her journalism, and not as much as her town. In the book Mrs. Perch says, "You are just like your father Hidly..." (Chapter1)

While reading this book, it really makes me think that Cat hates getting pitied by her town. I think that since the town is such an anti-gay town that makes her hate it even more; because she knows it's fake. I honestly feel so bad for Cat because no one is really on her side besides Mama Sweetie. Even though this book is sad, I really love how it's written. I love that you feel like you are in the characters' shoes.

So far, this book is a very sad book. I feel especially for Cat, since she had no one else when Patrick was killed. Patrick was Cat's only friend and best friend. I cannot even imagine being in her shoes. I don't know what I would do if I were her. I hope that it doesn't effect her in a bad way.

Being this far through the book, I realized how hard Lil' J actually has it. I really think that Kelly, the man upstairs in the abandoned house, has really impacted him with that remote that let's you watch your life from past to present to future. I can tell this is changing Lil' J because he has been acting more frantic and jumpy. I feel bad that he is in this situation just for hanging out with the wrong crowd.

After reading a bit of this book, I can really put myself in Lil' J's shoes. I feel really bad for him for so many reasons. At such a young age he already has a kid and a drug problem. If I were him I wouldn't know what to do with my self. I think that it is impossible for him to stop because I don't think that he knows he is wrong. I also feel bad for him because his mom is an alcoholic.

I just finished reading page 139, and have new realizations. One thing i realized, is that the girls in the group are very mean, and think they are better than everyone. I can also infer that a few girls in the group feel bad, but they don't do anything about it. I think they don't do anything about it because they want to be "in" with the populars. I think the are all having fun at camp, mostly Massie with Dylan.

After reading, I think that the "Pretty Committee's" true colors have come out. They are the popular girls of the school. The group is Massie Block, Kristen Gregory, Dylan Marvil, Alicia Rivera, and Claire Lyons. Im starting think the leader, Massie is starting to get jealous of Dylan in a way and is scared her spot is going to get taken. Also I feel bad for Kristen because sdoesn't have money for the big trip.
