Journal 9
I am reading Awake by Natasha Preston, and I am on page 100. The book is about a girl name Scarlett who losses her memory when she was four years old during a house fire and 12 years later she gets into a accident and starts to recall events that happened when she was younger. In this book I will be predicting.
G I predict that Scarlett was going to be murdered and her orginal family want her back Y Noah states R dad says not her fam R a fam want her R it would end soon Y memory R fire R dreams R parents wont talk
G overall I predict that
In the book Awake numerous events start occurring to Scarlet after the car accident, one being her memory. Before the age of
four, Scarlett was told that she was in a house fire and that is why she could not remember anything before. As soon has Scarlet’s vehicle hits the trunk of another vehicle, she is completely knocked out and has a dream about being in a warm room and everyone is wearing white: “I sat…waiting for mommy and daddy to get back…my party was going to be the best party ever. Candles were everywhere making the room very hot…everyone was here, and dressed in white-just like I was (Preston 45).” Scarlet thought at first that this dream was nothing, but eventually it started to occur every time she fell asleep. Eventually she asked her parents about it and they started to get nervous and upset and told her it was nothing. Another reason I came to this conclusion is because of Noah. Noah is Scarlet’s boyfriend, they have been dating for a few weeks and he is trying to get Scarlet to fall in love with him. He was doing this so that she could build up a trust with her so eventually he could take her to the family that wants her. I believe this because Noah’s dad went on about a family who wants her and how that Scarlet’s need to know the truth about her parents. During the book Noah also states: “ How was I suppose to watch Donald drive a knife threw her chest (Preston 66). I predict that during the night, which Scarlet dream was about, that Donald and his family tried to kill Scarlet but she ended up living and that is why they want her. Because of Noah and her memory it leads me to these decisions.
I think I deserve an 11/14 because I worked as much as I could.
