Literature Cicle #2

This week we read chapter 6 until chapter 14. These chapters were much more eventful than the first 6, and just as descriptive. The character that the most focus is on is Josie. In these chapters she gets closer to her Nonna, when her Nonna started telling stories of her past. She also gets closer to Sister Louise and the bishop as she realises she has a lot of respect for them. But she does get further away from her mother, because she doesn't like her date, Paul Presilio and her Mama doesn't like Josie's date, Jacob Coote. He asked her out after he saved her from Greg Sim's gang who tried to attack her and Anna, after they finished their job at McDonald's. But then their date goes badly, they have a fight, and whilst walking home she bumps into her Dad and they get much closer, also when she called him at school because she got in a fight with a racist model, Carly and broke her nose. So she called her Dad to help defend her, then after her date with Jacob Coote, he takes her out for pizza and he agrees to give her a job at his work instead of McDonalds. Then later she sees John in a cafe and he’s quite depressed and thinking of ending his life and she finds she’s no longer attracted to him. They have a big chat and swap envelopes full of everything they’re feeling at the time, so later they’ll both open them and read it to each other to see how things have changed. 5 words I don’t know the meaning of are incredulously, prejudice, cloistered, aggregating and hostilities. The meaning of incredulous is showing unbelief or being sceptical. The meaning of prejudice is an unfavourable opinion, the meaning of cloistered is secluded from the world. The meaning of aggregating is throwing out. The meaning of hostilities is a hostile state.
