Themes.

In my book, there are a couple of themes that are reoccurring. One theme that is in there no matter what, is anger. Or you could say despise. Since its kind of like a teen drama/mystery, of course there is going to be anger, or you could say even jealousy. The first time it showed up, I was like “Oh okay, anger.” Then about 10 pages later, anger  again. 10 pages after that, I said, “Well, I’m kind of getting tired of anger.” Then it changed finally. It turned into happiness. Happiness, showed up a couple of times. If mystery were a theme, that would definitely be a big one. This whole book is about mysteries, lots of different ones too. The biggest one is the one about Peter. I guess that’s why it’s in the mystery genre.

I really don’t like mystery books, but it was the only book I could find.

The author is trying to get across that one girl hates another. Chloe, who is the main character, hates Lise. Well, she wold have liked Lise, but Lise wants to hate her because she is a new girl I guess. You know those snobby people who are full of themselves. It adds to that because she is a new girl too. I think the message that the author is trying to get across is that it is hard to be a new student, and that anger can get the best of everyone. For example, Lise, who didn’t like her dad dating Elinore, so she plotted some evil kind of scheme, and got them to break up. They are starting to get back together again, so she is getting very frustrated, and she might have to do it again.

In the plot, she got her boyfriend Thomas, (They were dating before Chloe moved there). To record some words in a really deep voice, he didn’t know what it was for. But she played it on Elinores answering machine so it was like some guy was hooking up with her. Thats how she got them to break up. Now she has a new boyfriend so I think that she is going to do that again.

Sorry for that little summary. You wouldn’t have got it if I didn’t tell you. Anyways, anger is always in the novel. It has never left since I have started reading it. It is usually centered around Chloe. Either she is mad at her soon to be step dad, or Lise. Also, because Lise, is like a main character she is always in the book. At least in every chapter.
