POST #4

Summary:
The disco ball spinning everyone dancing, there was a circle around a couple dancing. Who where they? Cat and Tyler that's who. Tyler was Paige's ex. They were unofficial and Cat saw that they had a chance and went for it. Cat was grinding on Tyler and Paige's eyes were beaming with fury. Paige after a few minutes was sitting outside and Tyler and her kissed and made up. But Paige was not going to forget what Cat did. . . this meant revenge. At home it was Ronnie's birthday she was finally 14 and Ronnie for her birthday went to church. She ended up missing the event and went to Francis and talked to him and she told him that she had a dream about her mom being far and Ronnie was looking for something and that is when she came to the conclusion that she did not want to leave her Alison and go with her mom. Alison was not evesdropping but when she entered Ronnie left and then Alison and Francis kissed. Ronnie saw the happiness between the two and she was beginning to open her eyes and then she ended up making a realization that maybe staying with Alison is best. At school; Cat was going through hell everyone made fun of her treated her horrible and then she ended up not showing up to school. Cat made a plan with Ronnie to make Paige's life hell for everything. Turns out that Paige and Cat were in the basement alone, Ronnie comes in and Cat had a gun armed against Paige's head.

Quote:
Francis was saying to Ronnie "It's always better to stop, or at least pause, before heading down a certain path if you have significant doubts, rather than to proceed despite those feelings. I believe some people would call that listening to your heart" (Lowell 165).

Reaction:
My reaction to what Francis made me think on my life and just go through the decisions I took knowing that I did not listen to my heart. The advice given was beautiful, It spoke more than anything. This quote showed how much Francis cares about her Ronnie, Ronnie right now is confused but she should know that she has people who love her. Francis never told her to give up on her mom, even though he did want her to, but he just gave her advice. Listening to your heart is key to happiness !
