#25 Theories of Relativity overall

I thought that the book was good. I was a little bit disappointed with the ending though. I was hoping that Dylan's grandfather would help him in some way but after the 4/5 you didn't really hear about him after that. I didn't really understand why Dylan was talking to Albert Einstein. I know that the book started with Dylan reading a book by Albert Einstein but I don't think hallucinating a conversation with him really fit with the rest of the story. I was glad however, to find out that Dylan was going to accept the job that Glen offered him because that meant he might be able to get his life back. Although, I think I could have predicted that that would happen, I was just hoping for a better ending.

#24 Theories of Relativity 4/5

Jenna agreed to go to Dylan's Grandfather's house but didn't show up at the bus stop when the time came. So Dylan went there alone. When he got there, he found out that his grandfather was dieing in a nursing home. He went to see him for the first time since he was little. But his grandfather was unresponsive so he couldn't talk to him. Dylan also found out that his dad. who he never knew, was living in the old farm house. Dylan went to visit him on Christmas day but got in a fight and wasn't really accepted so he went back to Toronto. I felt really sorry for him at this point because his grandfather was one of his only chances to get his life back. When he got back he got beat up by Vulture and the "bandanna kids" because he tried to invite Jenna to go with him. I think that Dylan's grandfather will die and Dylan will inherit some money or valuable property.

#23 Theories of Relativity 3/5

Dylan is starting to get some support. Earlier in the book he met a guy named Glen who seemed like a nice guy. Glen has decided to help Dylan and give him a job as a tutor. I think that right now, Dylan is feeling a little better about things mostly because he now has a job. But I also think he is feeling a little sad and confused. He is unable to spend Christmas with his brothers so Glen helps him buy presents for them. Dylan went to see his mother and brothers. His mothers change in attitude seemed quite surprising to Dylan. He went to see his mom so he could find out where his grandparents lived, only to find out that his mother had neglected to give him a letter that was sent by his grandfather when his grandmother died. He then found out that his Grandfather invited him to live with him. If I was Dylan at this point I would be very angry at my mother. So at the moment Dylan is on his way to his grandfathers house, and he is taking Jenna with him. I think that he will end up living with his grandfather and possibly Jenna will too.

# 22 Theories of Relativity 2/5

I am starting to learn more about Dylan. You can tell that he really loves his brothers; Jordan and Micha. He said that his mom was not a very good mother especially around Christmas. So Dylan would try to make their Christmas as special as possible, even if it meant stealing presents for them.
I think that Dylan also really likes Jenna but he can't really tell anyone because Vulture told him to stay away from her. I think that Dylan really seems like a caring person in general. I also learned about this girl named Amber. She was another person living on the streets but she also works for Vulture with Jenna. Amber let Dylan stay with her the first week that he was kicked out of his home but he left when he realized that she was kind of taking advantage of her. They don't really like each other anymore but once again, Dylan still cares about her, especially after he finds out that she is pregnant. Dylan has found a youth center to stay in and shower now, this is where he met a girl named Amber who is a volunteer but used to be homeless. At the end of the section Dylan takes Jenna, Amber and Twitch to a church for a free meal he sees Amber there again. I think that she will help him some how eventually.

#20 Romeo and Juliet

So much has happened in the story so far. Although I admit, it is very confusing and hard to understand.   I can understand how Romeo and Juliet are feeling right now, especially Juliet. Romeo and Juliet secretly got married the only ones that knew were the nurse and the friar. I thought things were a little rushed for their marriage. Then, the day of their wedding, Romeo killed Tybalt- Juliet's cousin and was banished. I know that Romeo killed a guy but I feel kind of bad for him at this point. He is banished and basically can never see his wife again. Then, Juliet was being forced to marry Paris. I think that Juliet should have run away with Romeo and that would have solved a lot of things.
