Mathilda Savitch pg 81-97

    (Mathilda's household kind of has a Little Miss Sunshine Vibe)
Chapter 14
Mathilda talks about how her country is at war. I don't necessarily know where Mathilda lives, its very vague with those kind of descriptions. She mentions how they have "terror drills" at her school. How a boy in her class could be a possible terrorist. Who knows she can be random in that sense. Anna and Mathilda get into a deep discussion about terrorist and how they are zealots. Anna doesn't like zealots.

Chapter 15
Well, Mathilda is watching her mom, who happens to be drunk. Shes on her knees pulling out things from the cabinet chaotically. She looks completely crazy. Mathilda talks about the time her mother said she had eyes in the back of her head. They must of gone blind recently because she is not aware of Mathilda staring at her in disgust.The funny thing is when Helene died Mathilda cried for months and months. Her mom must of been deaf because she didn't her Mathilda's pleads.

Chapter 16
Mathilda talks about lighter subjects in this chapter. She mentions the minute of silence at her school, they had had it ever sense the bombing had occurred. Then she mentioned running into the infamous Kevin. Kevin still has a weird shade of blue hair. Mathilda is obsessed with his blue hair, how do I know this? She goes on about it for several paragraphs. Kevin ends up shyly walking away again.

Nice, nice. The story really progressed in these few short chapters. I'm starting to like Mathilda as a person . I also somewhat understand her actions. Lovely, this book is.
