The Client by John Grisham Pg.312-385
I cant really find anything bad about the character Mark Sway. I like many things about him. I enjoy reading this book, and feel that If I could ever be a character in a mysterious book then I would like to have some characteristics like Mark. I also feel that I can compare to mark because of his attitude. I am very over protective when it comes to family, and some friends. I believe that many of his issues in his life happen to people all over the world in some way. I also believe that the way he handles his issues are far way than I would. I mean come on, If i had problems with the mafia I wouldn't go running to a lawyer or to the authorities. In fact the would be the last thing Id do. I would go get a couple of my buddies and fight violence with violence ( hey I guess that I'm just an typical Puerto Rican lol just kidding). If i could ask the character Mark sway 1 question, I think i would ask him " where does he gets his patients from?" The reason Id ask him this Is because its very interesting that a person with not that good of an childhood, or family can have the ability to think as well as he does. Once I found out that he had issues with the mafia I thought he would go "west side story" and retaliate against him. What would you do If you had problems with the mafia? How would you handle It?

They Meet The Sister!!!!!!!
I Know What You Did Last Summer, Louis Duncan
Pgs.95-106
When they meet David Greggs sister, the aythor really goes into the setting. Louis Duncan gets you to visualize what the house looks like "It's an ordinary enough house, and the front yard had a bedraggled, uncared for look." She also mentions the stubble of the grass was not a summer green. Saying the door was half open, and that they saw a green chair with doilies on the arm rests. First of all, how modern can a house look if they have a green chair, it's an ugly color.
But Ray notices how the house trim has been painted from top to bottom. And he couldn't figure out how it could have gotten done. I mean come on Megan is short, as Louis mentions. Julie comes in and says "Maybe it was a neighbor" and Ray really isn't buying that comment. He is adamant about the father being the one sending the message. There is no way that she could have possibly done it. Unless her father wasn't with her mother, and he wants revenge on his only sons death.
Now really could it have possibly have been the father, or is the sister just playing dumb? What do you think?

Things get very Interesting.
The Client by John Grisham Pg. 200-312
The book continues its extraordinary suspense. OK, now the book is pretty much finished explaining marks characteristics. But now the thriller part of the book comes into play. one day Mark and his younger brother Ricky, stumbled upon a boy named Jerome Clifford. He was a heavy set man, But wanted to commit suicide due to a secret that he knew. Jerome revealed the dangerous secret to Mark which made him a dangerous target to the mafia. Once people found out that Mark new the secret everyone wanted a piece of him. So all mark did was the only thing he could of done and that was to get a lawyer. The story intensifies with the connection mark has with the lawyer. The lawyer was a sweet women by the name of Reggie Love. mark began to not only revale his issues that he had with the mafia, but also his emotions and daily activities which bothered him. This connection Mark had with Reggie became very deep and serious. Mark began to care about Reggie as if a mother he never had. Marks issues became both of there issues later down the road. My question to my fellow students is..What would you have done if you had problems with the mafia due to a secret?

Flashback!!!!
I Know What You Did Last Summer, Louis Duncan
Pgs. 42-53
Ray got an envolope in the mail. He opens it and there was a clipping of the article. He read it and he flashed back to when he was younger. But then he went back to the night when the event happened.
There were many things that led up to that event. One, Barry and all of them were drunk and high
at the time of the accident. Not to mention that Barry was driving a smidge too fast. But it wasn't entirely their fault, they couldn't see the kid. It was dark and he had no reflecters to alert people that he was coming on his bike. Ray and Barry didn't want to go to jail. They went and called for an ambulance. But then they said SCREW IT and just left.
Was it right to just leave the kid to die or should they have said they saw it happened? Think about it, no one would know, unless there was other witnesses.

It All Begins
IKnow What You Did Last Summer, Louis Duncan
Pgs. 10-22
Julie, Helen And Barry all get together to talk about the letter. There was one person missing from that night which was Ray, he moved away. Barry tried to help ease their minds saying, "maybe it's a crazy kid just playing a little trick on you." Julie realized her name isn't in the phonebook. Helen says maybe it's a guy trying to get your attention because he has a crush on you at school. You know it's possible. But the odd thing was when Barry was going back to the frat house, a car was following him. But it passed as he stopped, it passed. Coincidence???
Now wouldn't you be scarred when someone is following you from a party after talking about this very subject???

I Know What You Did Last Summer (Impression)
My first impression of the book was that maybe it might be a little bit boring. Ok this girl is excited that she got a acceptence letter, whip di do. She is upset that she doesent want to leave her mother. But then it got interesting, she got a letter and on it, real large it said "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER". Thats when i thought this book might actually be intriguing.
I mean a girl with a whole lotta pep chaning her thoughts just because of a little note. Who knows, maybe its one of her friends playing with her. But her friends knew nothing about it though. Her friends thought she was crazy, untill she showed them. Their lives were never the same after that, it seems.

I was wrong (p.33)
Well as you know julie the main character recived a note stating "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER", when she went to he friends the wierdest thing happened julie friend reciev the same note. As they all thought aabout what could be going on they were thinking about what they did( which i sill hvae no clue) ray poped ino here mind as he came into town. so julie had decided to go pay him a vist to see what was going on. while i was reading all i keep thinking in my mind was to stop talking about all these dumb things get to the point talk about hat had happened whatever that may be or is he the one playing the game!
In the story when she asked it was ackward he way the author has it wriiten. Julie studie his face and got nothing. the way he got concerened i dont think it was him!But who could it be?
So i m back to square one with having nothing just knowing something happened which evreyone knows that.In this book when you hink that you have someting or a clue you learn that you dont. Whats next?

Characteristics
The Client by John Grisham
Pg. 127-200
Further more, ...The book continues it's astonishing surprises. The character Mark Sway (who didn't care about anything but his family) is the type of person who instead of letting obstacles hold him back, but over come them. I like this character because he is very strong, I think it is very interesting how a character can have such an fear full heart. Some reasons why I feel this way is because when I was reading a part of my book it discusses how the character Mark use to get pushed around alot during his childhood but still held his grounds. Mark is a good kid, and is a character with many interesting characteristics. To think that such a boy that is warm hearted and protecting when it came to his family, but serious and dominating when it came to the streets. Some other interesting facts about the teenage boy is that he got into some issues due to a kid named Jerome Clifford. The issues caused Mark to get an lawyer. Once Mark started discussing his problems to his female lawyer named Reggie Love he began to build a connection with this women. From reading this it seems that Mark had allot of emotions gathered up inside of him that he really never got out. As i read this book I am discovering more about Marks personal characteristics and it never gets boring. I like how Im learning something new everyday about him.
Do you feel as If Mark Sway has had an rough child hood so far?

Tragic Changes A Person title:A stranger is watching by Mary Higgins Clark(pg50)
Throughout the story the character changes.His name is Neil and at a very young age as he is he had to face a tragic when his mother got murdered.Imagen even seeing it with your own eyes and from being so scared he wasn't even able to move,having nightmares every night of how your mom was murdered. I don't think any kid or even anyone else for that matter should have to go through it because from that they will never be the same again.Just like Niel ever since that horrible night He wasn't the kid that He use to be.He hasn't been happy anymore.always thinking the worst.Like just because his dad has a girlfriend he thinks he is going to marry her and leave him.So what do you think should the kid have to do to help him with something like this ,or do you think that is something that He is never going to get over?

A stranger is watching by Mary Higgins clark(pg26)
My impression of the book so far is that its preaty good . In it everyone has its opinons and peoples different opinons might mean life or death . Steve views his sitauation different then Sheran.He has a reason to do so thought because his wife was murderd.If that was your case wouldnt you want the person that killed your wife or someone you loved to get death penalty,because i sure would off.He believes that a person that takes somones life away desurves the SAME IN RETURN..Sharon in the other hand things they should go to jail.I think that Sharon also has a point because i think thats how they will learn that what they did was wrong and pay for their cousatuances by being in jail their whole life.
This book also has suspence in it which i think it makes it really good.Steve and Sharen been going out for 6 months. What i wander is if it's going to last.The reason i think this is because both of them has stong views about what should happen if a person comits a crime. This is a main reason tht i think is going to make their relationships weak..

crazy summer and crazy teens what kind of trouble did they get into?
Well im in the middle of the third chapter now this book is kind of taking me forever! i mean its not that it is so boring i wn to go to sleep its just ok just read it it alright.
As i talked aboout in my first post the main character julie got a letter stating "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER" which scared her. she had went to a firends house to tell her and all her friends she hung out with all summer were there while she was there her friend got the same letter. They talked about like hints toward what they did last summer and how no one knew. A friend was in town they thought he was playing games with them but they thought oh he would never do that!
i got a little confused because when they talked about "what happened last summer" they didt even tell enough to give me one slight of clue what they all did? so what did they actually do last summer?
