If I Say

I started a new book call “If I Stay” by Gayle Forman. Here is a link to the book http://www.amazon.com/If-I-Stay-Gayle-Forman/dp/0525421033. The book starts out with a 17 year old girl named Mia was woken up to the sound of her brothers voice yelling “Snow Day” “Snow Day.” Mia was complaining that there wasn’t that much snow on the ground, soon she called her friend seeing if they wanted to practice. Mia is an outstanding Cello player; she has been playing since she was little. Her parents thought it was a joke at first and laughed at her at first and accepted it, she then began to get privet lessons and became very good at the Cello. All the family got into the car to drop Mia off for practice, when they were driving a truck was going to fast and lost control hitting Mia’s car. Mia woke up looked at her and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, she soon started looking for his parents and discovered that they were both killed in the car accident. She then started to panic and run to go look for her brother; she looked in the car and saw that she was still in there.

The beginning of this book reminds me of the story the women who come in for the prom assembly and told us how both of her parents were killed in a car accident when she was younger. I could not begin to imagine what I would do if my parents were to both die in a car accident. You have to be very strong to be able to get through something like this.
