BLog 8??? Maybe... DUE THE 4th

Lock and Key, by Sarah Dessen, is a good book so far. i am only on page 50 though. so right now, this girl named Ruby is put in her sister (Cora)'s cuztody because her mom left. who knows where... Cora is the perfect, rich one who is nice, but 10 years ago, totally walked out of ruby and her mom's life. i think it's because she was so horrified by their lifestyly (move, not pay rent, use false names and addresses, full of lying). Now, in her cuztody after not seeing her for 10 years, it is so neat and ruby just wants to leave. she has a really strong sense of freedom, and she wants it now. Ruby is now being forced to go to the preppiest school (after going to a trailer home school), and she is really not happy. this is where i left off

I think that for some reason, Ruby's feelings of wanting freedom, and wanting out, are justified. she hasnt known her sister and now she has to live with her and her rich husband, who is trying to get everything right with her. she had been living on her own for a month or so, and she was totally fine. she was warm, had water, and there were only a couple dishes in the sink cuz the sink water pipe broke. so what? Also, as she says, the law says you are not a minor at 19, and she will be that in a couple of months. she had all these plans of what to do when she's 19. SHE EVEN HAD A JOB! i mean, just give her back her freedom people!

I also think that Cora's house would be kinda a shock, seeing your sister after 10 years, and living in a poor mess, and comin to this rich extravagant house, and the owners are public defenders and the OWNER of a HUGE COLLEGE WEBSITE! he donated a whole soccer team to a prep school! that would be such a change in lifestyle, i think i wouldnt like it cuz ive been so used to the one before. at first, she barely got her own room, and now she has her own bathroom and balcony?!?!?! thats taking drastic measures there girl! i just think that the husband of cora(Jamie), should have let her take it all in and accept it before he took her to the prep school to start the day after she arrives. that is really a change and i dont think it is the greatest.

i hope that ruby adjusts well soon in the book, like, i dont want her trying to escape every chapter. she was already caught once. i hope the people at the prep school are not all elitist and mean like ruby seems to think they are. if they are, it would be all wrong for her, adn it really wouldnt make anyone happpy.

if you've read this book, dont tell me what happens in your coments... thanks
