One summer changed the life of 2 campers for a lifetime. Dumped on Island by their fellow campers. Naked, Afraid, Cold, and Dangerous.

Keep reading to find out more about this book.
One important reason that Laura and Howie will not remain close friends/ more than friends and have a short friendship is that Laura was very shy and timid and did not seem like she wanted to talk with Howie. According to The goats book “He could hear someone crying inside. It sounded like a girl.She was gulping and crying at the same time. “Hey,” he said “I said go away” she said. “Hey, I can't. They took my clothes.” he said” What Brock Cole is saying here is Laura was not kind to Howie in the beginning. She was embarrassed and shy because of how the girls dumped her on an island naked and she does not want to be with a guy that she doesn't even know his name. Laura is kind of sad and

As Brock Cole has made clear “I am socially retarded” Laura said. When Laura leaves camp she is going to be worried about the trauma she experienced at the camp. Howie has been calmer about this experience then Laura. They might keep in touch for a month or 2 but then fade out writing to each other and stuff. Laura and Howie don’t seem strong enough to keep their relationship. This is why Howie and Laura will have a short term friendship. Of course, it is possible to disagree with the view that Laura and Howie really have no friends before they met each other so this friendship should not be that long and instead argue that Laura can’t really talk to her mother so how could she talk to a guy she barely

    After Holly lost her virginity to the popular Paul Bennet, a guy she barely knows, she becomes eaten by guilt after assuming that their hook up was a one night thing. Which it was not, Paul wanted to continue to see Holly. But, Paul had happened to have a girlfriend named Saskia Van Wyck, which to Holly she seemed like the perfect girlfriend. She was pretty, smart, and popular, everything that Holly thought the opposite of herself as. As shown in this passage taken out of the book, Holly couldn’t decide whether she was excited the way it was or guilty of the situation since at first she was not close to Saskia, “I suddenly had a secret. And it made me feel guilty, yeah, but I also felt really fantastic. I felt the opposite of dead, really what I’ve been striving for, and someone suddenly had wanted me in a way I hadn’t been wanted before” (Strasnick, 57). Paul also lied to Holly making her think that Holly was the one he would do anything for, “ I didn’t even mind having to keep things to myself. I mean, I thought the whole situation was really unfortunate, but I knew that I was the one he wanted more. That if she weren’t so fragile, so unstable, he’d be with me for real. No Saskia. No secret affair” (57).…
