A Memoir Positive

Summary
So far in my book that I am currently reading, "A Memoir Positive",we meet some characters. Paige, her mother, her best friend Yasmine, and a little bit about her father. The book cover has a picture of a lady and on her right side she has a writing on it that says ,"Surviving my bullies, finding hope and changing the world", this sentence was the first thing that caught my eye. The few pages are introducing us to the book. To the girl who's story is about. Paige. In the first page it she started talking about her name on the bathroom wall and she made it sound if it was a terrifying thing. She said, " I never in a million years expected to see my name on this wall. I'd always considered myself a good girl-----more Glee than  Kardashians, more Taylor Swift than Miley Cyrus. I was born a joiner, not a fighter." She then talk about how everyday when she was little she had to take medicine and go to the doctor's frequently and she notices something strange. Later on she explains that she has HIV and how she got it. She talk about her young years while she starts middle school. It goes back and fourth repeatedly. Do you think her classmates will treat her differently? Do they find out?

Characters
In the beginning of "A Memoir Positive", we get introduce to Paige. Paige is a energetic and confident girl. I will call Paige as a energetic because she already has everything planed out and what she is going to join for middle school clubs. For example, " I planned to run track this year----its one of the few sports sixth graders could join--- and then next year stand on the track in a cheerleading uniform.", Paige says. I also believe that Paige is confident for many reasons but, I will give you one. When she finds a flyer to attend a pageant she begs and begs her mom to enter. She doesn't stop asking her until she says yes "My words were muffled against her body "I'll win. I swear:they will love me." Paige is a energetic and confident girl.

    It seems like you really like this book so far. It seems interesting. Please just double check your writing before publishing your blog. You gave really good examples of character traits with great evidence to support it.
