Report:
Today we discussed our book mainly on two topics which were themes and images. We talked about how relationships and sex can ruin people and their emotions. Also saying how it can be hard to trust people because they can easily go behind the other one and hurt them. We continued to talk about how hard it is to trust people and how the saying is true "Trust no one but yourself". Another thing that we discussed was relationships and how they can break someones heart and make them very emotional. As a group we looked at the questions to keep the conversation going. We all agreed that this book is interesting and it can relate to things happening in high schools today.

It seems as if they're are many untrustworthy friendships as you read you learn.**
