If I Stay pt. 2

In my book If I Stay, Mia has been in a terrible accident with her whole family. Now the rest of her family are in the waiting room. She tells us the backgrounds of everyones life. Like how her parents met, how they were before, how she met he best friend. She sees everybody, but no one can see her. Her grandparents come into the room where all these tubes are in her, and her grandfather calls her Duck, it was a nickname when she was little and she has this little feeling that things will get better.

The conflict in this book is self vs. self. It shows us that Mia is seeing everyone. she has the ability to walk, and she looks like she has no injuries. But, then she looks on one of the hospital beds and see herself lying there with tubes in here and laying unconscious. I figured it was self vs. self because in the book it says, "It shows her lungs are healing and her internal injuries are stabilizing. The question mark is still the brain contusions,". It tells us that she has the possible chance to still be alive, or die from severe brain injuries.

If I Stay

In the story If I Stay, Mia gets school cancelled because it starts snowing. Since, they live in Oregon the amount of snow they had, their mother calls off for work, and they all plan to visit their parent's friends and their grandparents. Mia tells us how she feels different from her family, how they are trying to decide which station to listen to on the car ride over. As they are driving her favorite type of music comes on, classical. But then she hears a big bang, and she sees the car accident. She sees her dad, her mom, she then sees what she thinks is her brother, but it is her. She doesn't want to look for her brother because she's scared to see what happened, so she just stays there and listens to the classical music as it dies out to.

Sign Post; In this book, there is a memory moment. It is when Mia goes to the hospital. Her and her brother, Teddy, get separated after being in an accident. Mia goes to one in a city where her boyfriend took her on their first date. She tells us how everything went that day. How they met, how him and her parents got along. She keeps thinking about all the memories she had with each of her family members.

Goals 2k15

In 2015 what I want to accomplish is passing 8th grade with no grades below B's. I will do this by taking notes in every class. Study for tests and be prepared, being prepared will make the test simpler for me to take it. When I ask questions it will help me understand to help me pass the classes. When I finish 8th grade, with my grades up, it will make me happy knowing that I can actually finish things I started.

Also by the end of 2015 I want to still be on the Mustang team. To be as good as the Freshman League, cause they play Juniors. I can do this by practicing twice a weak. Working on my dribbling, passing, shooting. Staying fit will allow me to run without losing my pace. I need to know that once I step on that court nothing is impossible only if I make it. I need to have confidence, doing this I will try out for the Morton freshman team and make it.
