Dream Land

Caitlin woke up the day of his 16th birthday.Wishing all her family was going to wake her up singing the happy birthday song, but it didnt happened like that. She went down stairs and realised his father and her mom were crying, her sister Cassandra which was 18 years old, went from the house that night, she just let a note saying how much she loved them but she wanted yo go.They first thought it was because of his boyfriend but they were not sure of that. That day things began to change on Catlins life.The next week Caitlin began class and received the first call from his sister, she just said that she was fine.  Caitlin began cheerleading class with her best friend Rina and for some weird way Caitlin's mom was very proud about Caitlin being a cheerleader maybe it was the fact that Cass was also a cheerleader.After a presentation of cheerleading which resulted a terrible experience because Caitlin fault, the hole team had a party and that night Caitlin found a boy which make her fall in love.
pg. 1-62

"you're such a pain in the ass, but i love you anyway"
pg.15
When Cassandra went, Caitlin's life wasn't the same everything  had changed.Well in my case I don't have a sister but I do have 2 brothers. While I keep reading this book i have been thinking how awful will be if I go or if one of my brothers go, even though sometimes brothers/sisters have discussions or fight for everything  they still love each other. So i can connect to what Cassandra felt when her sister went because a sister or a brother could be the best person in your life, they will always be there for you and help you on everything.I really found it interesting how Caitlin and Cassandra loved each other and Cassandra decided to went without even telling her.

" I don't want to do this"I complained.
pg.29
When Rina and Caitlin began cheerleading class, Caitlin wasn't sure if she really wanted that but she new that her mom will loved the idea of her becoming a cheerleader. I can connect this with a theme I learned in class which is the freedom of speech, in this case Caitlin is doing what other expects of her not what she expects of herself.In my opinion I think Caitlin should have the right to decide what she really wants and make what makes her happy. Now in days people have forgot the importance of each decision they took on their life because just one can change them forever.





Dream Land is book which completely grab my attention since the introducing part. These few pages the book made me get into a conclusion of something which is that we should be grateful with what you have because when you least expected things finish or people go. I also founded very interesting how in one night Caitlin found a reason to smile again and that reason was Rogerson.
