One confusing part was when Haily's uncle asks how long her dad has been home for. This part is confusing because I thought that her dad was in jail, and they never mentioned that he was coming home. "How long has your dad been home" (p 104)? This shows that he was home and not in jail anymore. This may lead to Haily's uncle leaving now that her dad is back home

One character trait to describe Haley is strong.Her dad went to jail and her mom died when she was very young. Haley has to live with her uncle. Whenever Holly's mom picks them up from school, Haley wonders to herself is her mom looked like Hollys."I'd stare at Kira, wondering if she looked like my own mom had looked like her"(77).This shows that Haley is strong because she didn't really get to meet her mom or dad,

One surprising part was when Haley got a letter from her dad. One day when Haley was home she opened a letter from her dad saying he apologized that he didn't come down when she was visiting him in jail. In the letter it says "I'm sorry I didn't show up..."(55). This shows that he knew that it was wrong that he didn't come down to see her and he was sorry.

One important part was when Haley came up with the idea to record everything so she doesn't forget peoples voices.Haley doesn't remember her moms voice because she died when Haley was young, so she doesn't want to forget her classmates voices.Also she doesn't remember her mom "Hey! i said.Can you buy me a recorder for school tomorrow"(29).This quote proves that she really doesn't want to forget her classmates voices.
