If you were on my page last week, i asked what everyone's ecape place is. I had some very interesting responces! Thanks everyone who had commented and shared! This week, in my reading, it had been very suspenceful... Im afrid to tell anything because it might give away the ending. All i CAN say is that the island isnt all that it appears to be... And to answer your question about where MY escape place is... If you have ever been on an empty stage with no one in the audience? Just you and your thoughts, and the smooth hard wood floor under your bare feet.

Tragedy

"Now my hopes were dead. Now i was really alone" (pg 66-67)
She is upset because winter has taken away all the beauty of her island. You can really feel her passion and emotion, when reading pages 66 and 67, about her love for the Island of the Blue Dolphins. She talks about spring and the beauty of it, how the flowers bloom and the wildlife is newly born. Have you ever been to a place this special to you? It could be a city spot, or even far out in the middle of nowhere. Comment a place you know and love. Make a personal connection with the girl and her island! Here is a picture of my "escape place" its a hint for a later on blog post...

Thanks for checking in this week! I will see you again soon, hopefully not sporadically!
