Can Emma Handle More?

Summary of this week's chapters....

On this week's first chapter Emma tries to solve things with Laurel but Laurel tells Emma that if she wants thinks to be okay she has to get Thayer out of Jail and if she does that Laurel will stop the prank to Ethan. Later Emma shows Ethan the letters that Sutton wrote to Thayer when they were in love so they think Thayer killed Sutton because of Sutton's attitude and feelings towards Thayer. In the next chapter, when Emma gets ready for school, she searches a shoe box Sutton had and she finds a key but she doesn't know what the key is for. Then, Emma's friends start to notice Emma is not like before and they end up being mad at her. On the next day Emma went to eat pretzels with her friends and Madeline fixed things with Emma and she announced that they are going to have a party so they went shopping for the party and as they shopped, Laurel said that Emma should go to Ethan's house to steal the poem and Emma felt really bad because the day before Ethan and Emma said that there were going to be no more secrets between them. The next day, Laurel told Emma that the page were they were going to publish Ethan's poems was already built and that they already had an editor. On that night, Emma searched Sutton's locker and opened it with the key she found on the shoe box and found two letters one from Charlotte (one of Emma's friends) apologizing for being harsh on her and saying "she already knows" but she doesn't know who "she" is and what she knows. The other letter was from Thayer apologizing for something but Emma didn't know what it was. Finally, Emma decided to visit Thayer to jail and there Emma asked Thayer what happened the night Sutton died and Thayer said something about messages he sent to Sutton then Thayer told Emma that he was going to go out of jail the next week and that he was excited to get to talk to her face to face again and then the guards told Emma visiting hours were over so she had to leave.

Important quotes....

"You're getting out next week? Emma repeated, beginning to tremble."(194) This quote really made me think of what is going to happen next. I could just imagine how scared and insecure Emma will be in this days and even more the day Thayer will get out. "Earth to Sutton! Polished fingernails snapped in front of Emma's face." (159) I made a connection to this quote with me. I am very distracted in class and I also think about other things like Emma.

Final thoughts....

So far, I think this chapters have been the most exciting ones. I really want to know what is going to happen when Thayer gets out of Jail. I have been really wondering if Laurel will stop the prank to Ethan since Thayer is going out of Jail. I also think something really important is going to happen at the party. Maybe Thayer will be there to tell something to Emma or Laurel or somebody else. 

This week's song....

Emma has gone through a lot, very difficult situations and she has been very brave so I think this song describes her  

 

She Finally Knows It

Summary of this week's chapter....

In this week's chapters a lot of things happened. In the first chapter, Sutton remembers all that happened the night she gets killed. So what happened was that since Sutton had a secret relation with Thayer they went to Sabino Canyon. When they arrived they talked things about how much they loved and missed each other and then they got into a fight about telling people about their relation so Thayer gets really mad and leaves. Sutton gets really scared and wants to leave when someone grabs her and then her memory fades! In the next chapter Emma tells Ethan to pick her up from the police station where they interrogate Emma and Emma wants to talk with Thayer to know if he has any connection with Sutton but Ethan doesn't want Emma to talk to Thayer. Later, Sutton gets home and she calls Greyhound buses to see when Thayer came back to Tucson (where they lived). The girl on the phone tells Emma that Thayer arrived to Tucson the same night Sutton was murdered! The next day Emma goes to class and she noticed everyone was talking about Thayer then she sees Laurel (her sister) and Madeline (Sutton's friend and Thayer's sister) with a petition to free Thayer from jail and shirts that said "Free Thayer". Laurel felt something for Thayer, that was the reason why she was mad at Emma because she sent Thayer to jail. To make Emma feel bad, Laurel was planning to do a prank on Ethan since she knew Emma had something with Ethan. Since nobody from Emma's friends knew about Ethan and her she couldn't refuse to do that prank so Emma had to agree to do the prank. Mrs. Mercer (Sutton's adoptive mother and Laurel's mother) planned a dinner outside because she knew Laurel was pissed off at Emma so she did the dinner to make Emma and Laurel solve things. Laurel went out of her room so Emma got into her room to see if there was any clue of Sutton's murder so she went to the calendar and she saw that in the back side of the August page, in the box of the thirty first there were the initials TV so she started to wonder if it was Thayer Vega until Laurel spot Emma on her room and she invented an excuse. Then, they arrived at the restaurant and there it was Garret (Sutton's ex) that saw Emma get out of the police station and he mention that in front of the whole family and they had no idea Sutton was there so Emma invented it was something of the shoplifting she did the other day. In the last chapter, Emma and her friends go to Madeline's house to plan the prank. When she arrived they were planning what to do and then Laurel, trying to make Emma feel bad again, said that the prank they should make should be to tell a fake author that Ethan stole his poems and that he was going to use them on the poetry slam that he was going to participate and that supposedly only Emma knew but Emma told that to Laurel and with all the shame Emma wanted to go to the bathroom and she saw Thayer's room so she got in to see if there was any clue and she found the notes Sutton and Thayer wrote to each other and then Madeline's father got in and Emma had to invent that she was looking for the bathroom so she got back to Madeline's room. 

Important quotes....

"I love Garrett in a way. He's a good boyfriend." (73) This quote really made me thought about if Garrett ever knew if Sutton had any connection to Thayer or maybe suspected anything about them because the book never says anything about Sutton and Garrett's breakup. "I wonder how many other times my parents had tried whatever means necessary to force Laurel and me to be friends."(111) This also makes me wonder how was Sutton's and Laurel's relation. Like maybe when they were little they really loved each other and then something happened and now they don't like each other or it was just for what happened with Thayer or maybe something else. 

Final thoughts...

The book has a lot of clues right now. I learned about a lot of characters right now and how everyone is at least a little important for Emma. I think maybe Laurel will forgive Emma and she will help Emma with clues. I also think Ethan is going to be really pissed off at Emma for not telling him about the prank. I think the TV on Laurel's calendar is going to be really important and I hope I can find out about it on this week's chapters.

This week's reaction....

When Emma finally knew about Thayer and Sutton's relation

Cause Two Can Keep A Secret If One Of Them Is Dead

Summary of this weeeks chapter...

My story is very interesting and suspensive so far. My story is about two twins called Emma and Sutton that live with different families, Sutton's family is rich and Emma's is poor. Sutton gets muredered but she doesn't know how or why she died and who muredered her. Now, Emma has to replace Sutton and has to live like her and pretend Sutton didn't die. Now, Emma's job is to try to find out who killed Sutton before the killer kills Emma but she doesn't know anything about Suttons live. Her main suspect is Thayer Vega, who disappears a summer, and seems like he has connection with Sutton before she dies. Thayer also threatens Emma at the beggining of the book but now he is in jail for supposedly breaking to Sutton's house. One important character is Ethan who knows the whole truth about Emma and Sutton because Emma and Ethan are in love with each other since the night that they kissed wich is also the same night Thayer threat Emma. Also, Ethan helps Emma to figure out who killed Sutton. 

Important quotes...

''Long before she´d received an anonymous note saying that Sutton was dead and that Emma had to take her place, and tell no one... or else.''(7) When I read this quote I was really starting to get hooked to the book by the suspense the author gives. It makes you want to know what is going to happen next and you kind of see Emma's point of view. "Emma had scrambled to figure everything out about Sutton on the spot- who her friends were, who her enemies were, what she liked to wear, what she liked to do, who she was dating,"(7) This quote also makes you reflect how hard Emma's job is. I think this part is where the author is trying to say here is Emma is going to be brave and start a whole new life which is not going to be easy.

Final thoughts....

I am very into the book right now by all I have read. It's very interesting and the author makes the book a book that you want to continue reading. In my opinion I think Thayer is not going to be the killer but he is going to give clues to the real suspect. I think a lot of Suttons secret is going to come up on the next chapters that are also going to help Emma. I am very excited to continue to read the book and know more about Emma, Sutton, Thayer, Suttons killer and maybe other characters that might come out through the book.
