I have just finished the book Hit and Run by : R.L Stine . The clear and most blatant choice for me  as the hero is Cassie,the main character . I have really developed a connection with her. How? Well to be honest any teenage kid can. She is put through the everyday struggles of a teenager. Caring what people think of you and doing bad things you will regret later in life, acting foolish, feeling left out sometimes. She is definitely  the hero. At first, she is shy and keeps to herself, but then she blooms tremendously in the story. She suddenly blossoms into the typical hero. She becomes willing and adventurous  by trying to solve who is pulling the evil prank on the kids. She is self-sacrificing. She sacrifices her time and really trys to solve this case. She learns to grow by being out there and trying new things . She is a true hero.

Hit and Run

               

I chose this video because  i think it reflects all the characters and Cassie's too. At first Cassie is reluctant to go on her journey . But she then decides she must go on this adventure to save herself and her friends
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I'm reading a book Called Hit and Run by : R.L Stine . At this point I am pretty far in the novel . The protagonist or main characters are Scott, winks , Cassie and Eddie but Cassie is mostly the main character who has a big crush on scott. "She is head over heals in love with him ." These characters are put through an Adventure that no one could ever want to perform . Being kids they don't take  responsibility for their actions. This case is most certain in the teenage or adolescent period in peoples lives. sometimes people do things stupid But in this book  these kids take it to far . In this story the tall tale begins   with some kids hanging out just having fun on a weekend . When an idiot horn sounded  in their heads. Since they were bored  they decided to go out to practice their driving. More like joy riding because none of them had their license. Quickly noticing this was  a bad idea shows that Cassie has brains . But not wanting to disappoint  anyone  she doesn't speak up,which clearly shows she is shy , petit, not much of a mentor or leader in this particular group. so after they take Scott's parent's car  to practice driving illegally, Eddie hits a man and runs him over. Horrified, and too worried about the consequences to do anything responsible, the four friends leave the man for dead by the side of the road. In the days that follow, the four friends try to hide their guilt, but it appears that someone knows the truth about what they did the corpse! The corpse has disappeared from the morgue, and now he is calling them on the phone and leaving threatening notes on their doorsteps. He even goes so far as to cause a car accident himself when he does his own hit and run, injuring Winks. Trough this process Cassie's character truly develops. She really studies what happens and becomes a natural Sherlock Holmes . She crosses the threshold and decides she needs to solve what is going on. Will her valiant efforts  pay off soon? READ THIS TWISTED NOVEL TO FIND OUT!

This quote  really directs to my life  and  some of the  memorabilias i have  had . From the book "The monkey face " i took a direct quote on page 17 " hey grandpa how come i didn't get no special  present when i turned eighteen last month? Didn't get any special  presant ? As his grandpa handed him a pocket knife."  when i was little i always looked forward to going to my grandpa's because he always had  fun stuff to give me and my sister . he always had a way to brighten my smile when i got down and to make me feel better when i got hurt. i really look up to him. He was diagnosed with cancer last year. i was really scared i was gonna lose the male role model in my life. but as courageous and determined as he is . He never gave up and  found away to pull through. so this quote relates to my life because it gave me an understanding when i read it how much i care about him. he gave alot to us so i cherish every moment i spend with him.  He really is my hero!!!
