Reading Blog #5

At the end of the Perfect novel, one main character named Hannah, gets hit by a car and is sent into a coma. This relates to me because my sister's friend was driving a car and didn't notice someone crossing the street in front of her on a bike. The girl ended up hitting the man on the bike causing multiple injuries to the man's body. The girl was just fine, but in shock of what she did. The man when then taken to the hospital where he was sent innocently into a coma. The girl was absolutely a wreck over what happened, but to her surprise, the man awoke just a week later. If he had not waken up, the girl probably would've gone to jail because she was 18, or suffered many other consequences. I'm sure she still had to pay money or pay for his medical bill, but that's a lot better than going to jail and living with the fact that she killed someone her whole life. She was informed, though, that he may not be the same person when he wakes up and he might not remember who he is. To her luck and surprise, he was only confused and suffered minor brain injuries. This is a wake up call to everyone, because just one moment of not paying attention to what's going on around you could cost a life and long-time regret for the rest of your life. No matter the situation someone may be in, they need to be very cautious and aware of their surroundings.
