1. I think Tessa has a awkward relationship with her father. It seems like it was better before she got sick. Even though she knows she sick, she still don't like the way he treats her. I think Cal does feel neglected by their father because ever since Tessa has been sick things are not the same. He is younger and usually the youngest gets a lot of the attention but in this relationship Tessa gets all the attention. He knows about the illness but I don't think he really understand what's going on. I think that she might have an awkward relationship with her mother. Her parents have divorced but, she wants them to be together before she dies. That would be the best thing that ever happened for Tessa. She would be so happy.
2. I think the true qualities of a true friend is somebody who is there with you through anything and everything, never leaves your side, doesn't judge you, trustworthy,someone who can hang out with you and have fun, and doesn't mind doing things that you like to do. Tessa and Zoey's friendship seems weird to me. It seems like Zoey is Controlling towards Tessa. I know Tessa has this list of things she wants to do before she dies but some of these things are not good for her health. If I was here friend I wanted let her do these things. I know she really wants to get them done. She wants to take drugs and have sex. I don't know how there friendship was before Tessa became sick so I can't say if it changed. Tessa father calls Zoey to get her out the bed because she the only one that she listens to. Tessa sees Zoey has somebody she can have a lot of fun with and spend time with before she dies.
3. Tessa doesn't want to return to school because she is sick. She knows that most of the students know about her illness. So if she goes then she scared people will look at her differently and they might talk about her bad. How her family is treating her she doesn't want to go through it at home and school. I don't know how teenagers will act with classmates with terminal illness. I think they should just think about it as them or somebody in their family going through this. Hopefully Zoey would tell them to not saying anything to her. When you talk about her it will make her feel worse.
4. Tessa is really sad that she is about to die and can't do anything about it. She's dealing with this by going out and doing things that are not good for her health but its things to wants to try before she dies. She has a nonchalant attitude because she knows she is about to die.
B. Zoey really doesn't really care about anything but herself. She does whatever she wants. I don't understand why she is acting like these towards Tessa is she is going through this rough time in her life. Soon Tessa is going to die so i dont understand why she acting like that to her.
C. Cal is Tessa younger brother. He really doesn't know what is going on with Tessa but he is trying his best to be nice to her. He knows that she is going to die soon but nobody knows when. I can see that he is really going to miss her when this day comes. They are really close to each other and he is going to take it hard.
D. The mother it trying her hardest to be around more. I don't know how she feels that Tessa is going to die soon but she probably feels like any other mother that finds out her daughter has a terminal illness and doesn't have a lot of time left to live. She is sad.
E. The father is trying to do anything and everything for Tessa. Finding out about this news was really hard for him. He is taking this hard. You can tell he is depressed because the things he does.
Good Job! I feel the same way as you about the book. To Jennifer
