In my reading today I found the literary element imagery. When Zephyr describes her hockey game she uses a lot of imagery and descriptive words to express her adrenaline, excitement, and nervousness.

Today in my reading, I found the appeal pathos. In the book, Zephyr talks about how her dad left her and her mom when she turned 18. Zephyr tried not to let it affect her, but now her dad wants to come back and her mom is going out with him and she is mad. This made me a little bit mad too because it made me feel like both parents are being sort of insensitive because they're both acting as if nothing happened.

In My book, Zephyr, the main character, does not want to make room for boys, or focus on anything other than her hockey career and college. However, in the book, she is met with a boy who she seems to like. This prompts me to ask if shell have a change of interest and possibly hang out with him rather than stick to being the perfect student she is.

The best part of my reading today was when the main character was preparing for her final hockey game of the season. I really enjoyed this part because Zeph seemed to be happy playing hockey, which is not portrayed very often throughout the book so it was nice to see a little change of character.

In today's reading I was most surprised that the main character(Zephyr) had a fun sense of humor as a kid, which very different from what she acts like in present time.

For today's reading I chose the word "predisposed," which means to make someone liable or inclined to a specified attitude, action, or condition. I chose this word because It was interesting to me. I expected the definition to be something completely different from what it really is.

Based on what I've read so far in the book, and my background knowledge of the book, I predict that the main character, Zee, will decide to take chances and Have some fun with her life before she goes to college.
