So far Seth finds a really pretty Dr-to-be and flirts with her, which makes Diana really mad and jealous. Also as Diana is filling out insurance forms she reads a man’s name and thinks that he is her father. Diana seems like a nice person and probably easy to get along with. I also think that she would be pretty smart if she wants to be a Doctor. Diana kind of reminds me of her because she says she doesn’t like Seth and I don’t think that I would like him either because of the way he acts. But we are not the same about how she felt when Seth was just trying to be nice and fill out the insurance for her. Diana also reminds me of one of my friends because she said that she hates this guy but at the same time she loves him. I think we both have a sense of humor because when she told Seth about her father Seth suggested that they kill him and she laughed and I would’ve too. I think I would be friends with her because she seems like a nice person who would be easy to get along with.

I think that this book is really really good. The twist that she trough in with Diana and her dad was really good. I just can’t wait until she tells us more about him. I also want to hear a lot more about Anna Maria and her life. I am really scared for Alec because of the way the nurses talked to him. What is your favorite subject? What is your least favorite subject? My favorite subject is Health and my least favorite is Social Studies or Science. I really like health because the human body fascinates me. This is one of the main reasons I want to be a physical therapist. I really don't like Social Studies bescasue it bores me. I understand that history is important and some parts of history I find really interesting, but I don't like the hisotry in general. I don't like science very much becasue its just too complicated and comfusing for me. All the elements and atoms not only get me lost, but they make me tired. I really like health becasue all the muscles and bones are just really cool and for some reason they are really easy for me to remember. The two main reason I want to be a physical therapist are because I like learning about the human body becasue it interests me and it helps people. This summer I would really like to get a job and earn some money, but I have to watch my brother this summer and someone would have to drive me there. My aunt Terri is a massage therapist and I think it would really be healpful to me in the future, becasue in the past I have thought of being a massage therapist.

This week they introduced Roo a little bit better, Alec died, Diana had to wheel her dad back to his room, there was a mom that was addicted to cellophane who brought her baby in half dead, Anna Maria saves her siblings, Seth saved Valerie, Diana and Seth made plans to go on a date, and there was a hostage situation. I thought that this book was really really really good! I liked the ending and the author added more twists than I predicted. I loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone! The way the author described this book and made you feel like you actually there, it was amazing! She is now one of my favorite authors and this is one of my favorite books! I think that anyone that is looking for a good book should read this one. I think that there is a perfect balance of suspense and detail that gives this book edge and makes it stand out. I wish that everybody could read this book because it just makes you feel like you are actually there and before you know it, this book is addicting! I read over 1/3 of this book in one day! Diana changes a lot in the story. She went from hating Seth, and taking life for granted to respecting him more and focusing more on the positives of him rather than every negative and being so thankful that she’s healthy and alive. I think that after this one night in the ER Diana has come to respect life a whole lot more. I think that the main lesson Caroline B. Cooney is trying to express is not to take your life for granted and pity yourself because there is always someone else out there that has it worse than you. I also think that she wants us readers to realize that life is a gift and you shouldn’t take it for granted. The question I would like answered after reading this book is what happened to Seth and Diana? I want to know if they broke up or are still together or married. I also would like to know what their life is like now and how their careers are going. I would not have had Seth and Diana kiss because I think that it’s too big of a step in one night to go from hate to kiss. I also would say how all of the ER victims are doing, like in what condition Jersey is in or how Diana’s father ends up.

I have alwaysed thought about going into the medical feild. I have thought a little bit about being a Dr. or a nurse. Reading this book makes me feel even more torn. I would want to help people and it sounds like it would be a very intense and exciting job, but I don't know if I can handle all of the blood and problems. I don't think I could handle it if I was the nurse that had to take care of Alec because they said that his whole bottom have was like completly torn up. I don't know it I could handle so much pain and distruction every day. Do you think you could? Have you ever thought of working in the medical feild? I'm not horrible with blood though. I won't faint if I see blood, but I've never been in a situation where I've seen excesive blood or a really bad car accident or something. I have never been to the emergency room because of me or anyone in my familiy, at least that I can remember. I have been to hospitals several times though. I've been in with my grandma after she was run over and I have to admit it was pretty scary seeing her like that. I don't know if I could see that every single day. I have also been in St. Louis Hospital several times with Connor, but I was really young and don't remember it. You'd probably think I could handle it because of Connor and all the tubes and wires he's had, but I don't remember most of it. When he was born I would have been only 5 years old, old enough to remember things, but not much. When I was a kid I had a HORRIBLE memory. They put my mom in St. Louis Hospital earlier than Connor's due date, so she missed my 5th birthday. During this time I remember one day when she callled (funny how I remember this part) and asked me what I had for lunch and I couldn't remember and it had only been an hour since I had eaten! The only reason I remember this is because my mom said that maybe becasue I can't remember what I eat, maybe I woudln't have a birthday cake, and I thought she was serious and I flipped out because when I was a kid the best food in the world was cake!:) Week Four

This book was really interesting towards the end. I really got into it in this last section. Diana and Seth both got more responsibility when they least expected it. Seth saved Valerie, Diana and Seth decided to go on a date, and Diana changed a lot. I agree with you, this book has a perfect balance of suspense and details, however, I think sometimes there were too many details. I think that there needs to be a sequel that flashes forward to the future lives of Seth and Diana. I think the book ended in a really good way because there are a lot of unanswered questions that make you want to read it again. I think the main theme of this book is that life can change in the blink of an eye and that even when times are tough you should make the best of the situation you’re in. Everyone in the hospital had a possibility of not making it out alive in the matter of minutes.  My little brother was in the hospital a lot when he was little. One Christmas we all spent the night at my grandma’s house and he woke up and his eye was swollen shut. He ended up having an ear ache that had spread to his eye. I was really scared because he was only a few months old and it was his first Christmas. I will probably remember that for the rest of my life. I don’t think that I could handle working at a hospital and seeing people in really bad conditions. I was ten the first time he was in the hospital and I was scared to death. I hate going into hospitals because I guess I’m scared of what I might see, but going into a hospital makes me realize how good I’ve got it. I’ve never had a broken bone and I’ve never been seriously sick, I’m really lucky. Thank you for picking this book.
