Breaking Night (ch. 4-6)
One thing that I noticed in these chapters was that Liz was able to handle adversity when she made new friends such as Sam and Carlos. Her friendships with them helped her become happier even though her life at home was difficult. Liz's mother left her father and another guy named Brick. Liz doesn't necessarily like Brick because he disrespects her mother even though she is sick. At the end of the section, Brick kicks Liz and Sam out of the house. At first I was really upset, but I feel like Liz will be ok because she finally has friends that care for her. Her whole life she was surrounded by people who cared more about drugs than her health. Maybe this will be a good transition for her.

I was really glad when Liz befriended Sam and Carlos, I think she really deserves good friends after everything she's had to face. Having her friends has made her life more bearable, and I think it will prove to be something really good for her.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! But, one thing I am afraid of is Sam and Carlos leaving her. She will lose her trust in others and in the end it may result in something negative.
DeleteI'm kind of scared of that too, and I'm especially weary about Carlos. I think though that Sam doesn't seem like the type of person that's just going to leave. And I'm sure that their friendship won't always be perfect, no relationship ever is, but I think their friendship will last for quite a while.
DeleteCarlos gives me bad vibes. I feel every man in her life, and even in her mother's life, have been men that seek sexual pleasure or other self-centered goals. We will see how Carlos develops, but even the fact that the chapter was named "Boys" instead of something like "Friends" gives me an edgy feeling of suspicion.
