Reading Blog #2

For this blog, I am going to analyze a quote from the book I'm reading. The quote is from the first page, because I thought it was important and it has a lot to do with the whole book itself. The quote is: "Have you ever had a friend turn on you? Just totally transform from someone you thought you knew into someone...else?...I'm talking about your soul mate. The girl you know everything about. Who knows everything about you. One day she turns around and is a completely different person." (Shepard 1). This quote is very important because it has everything to do with friendship, loyalty, and trust. This brings up a big issue every teenager has to go through. During the years of being an adolescent, every kid goes through troubles with friends, whether it be over a boy, or just plain drama. This book digs deeper into the issues of trust. For example, each character could never know when the next one will turn on them because you can't trust anyone. The character that is behind all of this madness is "A" who is anonymous at the moment. She causes the four main girls to get mad at each other or uses blackmail to make the girls embarrass themselves. If "A" continues this harassment, soon the girls won't be able to take the pressure any longer.
