4) I rated this book an eight because this was a very good, interesting book that really caught my attention and made me want to keep reading. I enjoyed this book a lot because in the beginning the plot is basically given to you. I like that because you understand very well where everything is coming from, going, and or started. There were two things that made me very confused, and changed my view in a negative way about this book. The first thing was when the pants traveled from friend to friend, you never really knew where they were, or if they had moved or not yet. They did tell you what character they were with but never what country, or state they were in. I do understand however that you were supposed to infer where they were due to past details, but being focused on what is going on with conflict, and other situations I wasn't as focused on that. The other thing I was confused about was the conflicts that occurred with each character There was a lot of drama between the girls, and family members. It was very hard to keep track weather they were friends or not, the author did a pretty good job keeping up weather or not they were friends but at some points it had me wondering where they stood with each other.

My goals for the next writing assignment, is to turn it in on time. That was my major fall back, another fall back I had was that I had a lot of fragments. I could work on my vocabulary and other things listed above with what we learn in class an such.
I did very well in listing the sequence of events in my story, that is one of my stronger areas in writing, and also something I very enjoy. It's mainly listing, and putting the story in "plot" form. I wasn't so strong in coming up with a story, once I have a story I do well, but deciding what I'm going to write about is a struggle.
If I were to resubmit my paper I would revise it better and make sure everything was spelt correctly, also that all the sentences were formatted properly. I would mainly focus on gramatical errors more than anything.
