Kristina tries very hard at school to act perfect, but inside of her mind, she wants a perfect family instead of getting perfect grade in school. Her desire is to live in a family with her siblings and her parents who have the blood relationship with her. When Kristina went visit her father and lived with him for a while, her father did not care about her so much because he got so much work to do and left her at home by herself alone. This make Kristina feels like her father tries to ignore her:
"Work?" "You have heard of work" "You couldn't take one day off?" "You don't know my boss" "Does he know about me?" "She knows you're here." "Your daughter comes to visit..." "She doesn't know." "Know what?" "That you're my daughter." "Who am I then?" "A long-lost relative." (P30)Since after the divorced, Kristina's father lives pretty far away from where her mom lives, so it is not so easy to visit her father. Although Kristina tried very hard to get some free days hang out with her father, but he told Kristina that work is more important than daughter. Kristina feels pissed off of what her father did because she begged her mother for so long in order to get the permission of going to her father's house, and now her father expected her as a "long lost relative". I think it is pretty rude, and it just hurts a high school student's feeling. Kristina was dissapointed at what his father did to her. And later on the book, she talks about her boy friend and business in school.

ReplyDeleteI thought the strength about this post was how u described what happened to the story. You gave a small description about what the story was about. I think that you could also input your own opinions in the book and shorten the summarizing part because you can ruin the book for others that are about to read it. After reading the summary I thought that this book was very interesting. It was very engaging and I though that you did a good job discussing the plot. This will be good to include in the final draft the the book review. I have a question. Which question were you answering from the book review?
I like how you give us a detailed summary of the book. It was good that you gave so much background information about the book you're reading because that gives a person a mindset of what your book is about. That might also encourage people to read the same book as you. Also like Shiyun, I want to know which question you were answering?
