Possessed by Katie Cann Chapters 1-3

          Possessed by Katie Cann is the book I'm currently reading & to say the truth, to me, this book keeps me guessing. So far, I've leaned a few things about the main character, Rayne and right now, she's not liking anything about her hometown, which is like the same way my dad feels about his hometown too. From what I've read so far in this book, well its pretty interesting because Rayne is wanting to get away from her home in London, from her controlling boyfriend and her apartment that she currently lives in, with her mother and her little brother. It must be very weird to hear that she hates London, I don't!!!!!!! But it's the way the story must go so I'm okay with that fact. And as I must repeat, my dad also feels the same way and if he was reading this book, he would really connent to the book.
          My dad was born & raised in the worst part in the Bronx and his dad used to abuse him all the time. His mother left the picture when he was very young so him and his three sisters never really respected her. They used to get bullied all the time for the way they dressed and the way they used to act so yea. It's kind of obvious, into why he hated the Bronx so much and I really do honor him for all the great achievements he has accomplished & for the fact that he doesn't treat me the way that his father did to him. "Benrock," the nickname that stuck with him when people found out, at his work, about his past. A powerful, achieving, street fighting man that I respect with all my heart and that would never change.
          Other from my dad & Rayne, I know there are alot of other people who feel the same way so I would just like to say that if you're really wanting to go away because you hate the way you live at home, or in your hometown, just go, escape to that new place. I might even go to a high school in Staten Island and maybe, just maybe, might not ever return back to Brookyln, ever. But moving on with your life is one of the best decisions you can chose, it's the chance I'm taking, to change my life so, I hope you can open your eyes and experience all the good opportunities in this world, just like me.

  2. I like how you connected some things the character liked/disliked with things you or people you know likes/dislikes.
