I've been reading "Where Are You Coming From Sweetheart" by Sarah Salecky for the second time. Although I read it last semester, I couldn't help but read it again, this time paying attention to the voice and the tone and the literary elements as I write my own story for a writing competition. The story is a very good one. I love Sonia's craziness, and I do pity Christine. Her father is annoying, gross, and very unlikeable as a character. I pity him too. Salecky doesn't make it hard to feel sorry for Christine at all and I think its a good thing. At the end, although the circumstances are very unfortunate, she gets what she wants.

I've been making a goal to reread a lot of stuff that I've read before. This time I want to pay attention to the details. This time around, instead of glossing over scenes and being so caught up in the imagination of things, I can pay attention to the words as, well, words.
