2/1/11 Deep and Dark and Dangerous pages 1 through 6

I am reading a book called ,//Deep and Dark and Dangerous.// The pages I read were about a girl named Ali and the girl's mother, who brought home a box from her grandmother's house. There was a photo and Ali's mom, her aunt Dulcie, and a girl were in it. You can tell it was a girl because there was a leg, a shoulder, and long strings of blond hair. Who was the girl? On the back of the photo had the names mom, Dulcie and T then the photo was torn off. Ali brought the photo to her mom. Her mom said she thought she had gotten rid of it.

Her mother thought Ali was looking through her purse, but she wasn't. Ali asked her mom who was the girl but she said this picture was taken three years ago. Usually, her mom and Dulcie go (go where) but another went. She was going to call her aunt, but her aunt and her mom argued about many different things like marriage, work, and family. Her dad knew nothing about her (who?) really. Although the picture was taken in Maine at a lake, that's all they seemed to know about the strange photo. Her mom got awfully depressed ever since Ali started talking about the photo. Ali had strange dreams about who T is and why she was there. Ali kepped having the same dream over and over again.

The setting is taken at her house. The main characters so far are Aunt Dulcie, Mom, T, Dad, and Ali. They are to main characters in this chapter next chapter I think she is going to find out who T is and why she was there.

My opinion about this book is that there is a lot of mystery and a lot of details about what is going on. The first chapter explains a lot about what's going on and about the characters. I recommend this book to everyone who likes mystery and who likes scary things.

Olivia, rather than give me a list of main characters, I'd like you to tell me more about Ali. Why is she so curious about this picture? Does she have many friends? What kind of relationship does she have with her mom? Why does she act the way she acts. Also, you need more bulk to your opinion paragraph. How does the author explain what's going on. Give me some examples. Also, why did you choose it? -Miss Bond

In chapter two Ali's Aunt and cousin came for an unexpected visit. Her aunt Dulcie needed Ali to come to Maine with them for the summer but Ali's mom won’t let him so far. Aunt Dulcie and her mom argued a lot so her aunt Dulcie was yelling at her sister saying Ali is 13 now she is able to go only for the summer. They both yelled back and forth. Emma the little cousin was saying Ali make it stop. They kept yelling louder and louder all of the sudden it got so quiet you couldn't hear a thing.

Next, her mom was saying, "She is my daughter if I want her to go I will let her go,” so she was crying. Ali was getting nervous because of the soundless noise. Ali was going to ask Dulcie about the photo but she didn't want to get in the argument with them so she stayed out of it. He mom wanted to make the decision about going to Maine when he got home from work.

The setting was taken place at the house in her living room. Ali is a curious person who is afraid of many things such as her mom. She is not open with her family and she is independent. Her mom is scared and over protective of Ali. Her aunt is more outgoing with many things. S far her dad is not mentioned in the book a lot. I think Ali is going to go to Maine.

This book is really good so far because you picture everything in your mind and you can think about what is going to happen next. I choose this book because a lot of people read it and loved it so I’m going to give it a chance.

Ali sais her goodbyes and they were on their way. The 8 hour drive seemed like it took forever. They were going because aunt Dulcie was an artist and she needed someone to watch Emma. When they got there it was late the unpact and got settled in the room it was all fixed up because before there were mice, to doors didnt shut and all the windows were broken and smashed.

My opinion about this book is that it is good and there is alot of mistery. There is alot of pages and it gives a lot of discription i recommend this book for whoever likes theese things.
