Hallo, my name is Dai.
This blog is to indicate my reading response.
The name of the novel I chose is Criss Gross. That’s author is Lynne Rae Perkins.
To be honest, I was attracted by a cover and a title.
But that sentence is solid and easy to read even I may finish.
The first chapter is very short and has a deep meaning, therefore, I do not neglect reading it easily.
Chapter 1 that I read is introduction of the stories, and I felt that it showed the root of the chief character.
These are quotations from the chapter 1.
“She wished something would happen”(P1)
And
“Debbie remembered that once, when she was little, she had shouted that she wished everyone would just leave her alone. And then everyone did.” (P4~5)
From these quotations, a miserable was transmitted through her heart.
Main character is Debbie. She seems that she is not in any interesting and waiting something happen.
But she knows not to say her wish easily from her experience. She waited something happen by the end of Chapter1.
My impression is just one word is a lacking.
I think loneliness is not virtue but an immorality.
It does not mean to conclude that an immorality is absolutely bad thing.
However, it cannot be said that it is good unconditionally.
Therefore she prays something happen.
In addition, this novel has clear sentences and metaphor has deep meanings beyond my expectations.

I do not really understand what you mean but i think simetimes it is good that that wish come ture when you want.
I liked your selection of quotes, especially "She wished something would happen." That could be a great starting point for your response to this book rather than trying to cover everything that you were thinking and feeling as you read this book. That's why Mingyuan was confused. He did not know what was important to you.
