  1. Hi again, Austin!

    Wow, you chose that book to work on! I also used a short excerpt from it in a past analysis and I really liked it.
    I chose a different book, but I'd love to read this one until the end. I liked reading your notes because it gave me more information about what happens in the plot. I may keep reading your notes so I'll learn more about it haha
