This one shows that she takes everything really literally. Like how she tells dad how to get to the kitchen when he said he was lost. Then she also said that she is gonna be starting a new school in a few months not in a year. She doesn't understand that it's school years.

I think Caitlin is trying to understand how friends work. But she needs some better understanding on how they work. Talking to someone can help build a friendship but not just sitting next to them. But Emma is also making fun of Caitlin so i don't know why you would want to be friends with a bully i don't understand that. I also don't think she knows the definition of autistic because she denied it because William H is autistic she thinks that everyone who is autistic is like him.

I don't think it was right for the gym teacher to say what he said. I know he was joking but it could've hurt some people. It was wrong because autistic kids can't help being autistic it's almost like he thinks it's a choice when it isn't.

This whole chapter really showed how Caitlin is very literal. She thought that her dad was actually lost when saying he was lost. Then she thought that going to a private school means just her. Most people know what these mean but I can infer that because she is on the autism spectrum she thinks literal and does not take it like it is true.

When Caitlin says she does not miss little kids recess because she does not have friends anymore I think she does not understand that friends can have other friends. Now Caitlin thinks that her hole friendship is over but really she just does not understand the concept. I hope that one day she will understand and become friends with Michael again. I hope because I think that Michael helped her in some way cope with the death and find some sort of closure.

I feel very frustrated at the dad because he does not want to work on the chest. I think that this does not help Caitlin at all because the chest can actually help her find closure . Now I think that she is not going to find closer so fast because the dad is not ready. I can infer that the dad is not in the same mental spot as Caitlin and that is through rowing Caitlin off and the idea of closure of.

I find it funny that Caitlin really thinks that she is not friends with Michael anymore. I think she thinks this because she still does not 100% understand how friends work. If she knew how friends really worked I think then she would still think she is friends with Michael. I guess/think she will have to learn the hard way.

I think that it was really sweet that Mrs. Brook screamed. To me this really shows how she cares for Caitlin like she is her own kid. I can infer that to Mrs. Brook Caitlin is very important and matters to her. Caitlin and Mrs. Brook both have gone through a lot together, so I think they both really care for each other. I also think Mrs. Brook cares for Caitlin because she does not have a mom to talk to and go through the hard with so Mrs. Brook is her "mom".

I think that Mr. Mason was truly sorry that he said autistic kids in his class (revering to Caitlin). I think he realized what he did was wrong and that it can offend some people. I also thought that it was really sweet when he put the pinnie on. It shows how is sorry and feels bad for saying something that should not have been said.

I am very very happy that the dad finally gave in to finishing the chest. I think that it still really hurts him to think about Devon, but I think that he noticed that doing what Caitlin wants/what Devon wanted will really help him. On the other hand I am not 100% sure that finishing the chest will help the 2 of them find closer, but I am exited to see what comes and how they both grow and become better.

It really frustrates me when the other girls are being mean to Caitlin. I think that the other girls don't like Caitlin and think she is weird because she is on the spectrum. If you really think about it everyone deserves to be treated correctly no matter what. This might pull Caitlin down more and put her into a bad stage as well as making her insecure and want to give up. This is by NO means good. Caitlin needs a friend, and mean girls being mean to her is not going to help her make friends.

When Caitlin leaves the door open it made me very emotional. I think that seeing the light come in the room and then leaving the door open is like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Caitlin has been through so so much and finally leaving the door open with beaming sun stands for a open and a change. The door has been open every since Devon has died and seeing the door open shows Caitlin and her dad are ready for a change.

I think it is so sweet and it makes me really happy when Caitlin's dad starts to smile. He and Caitlin have been up and down big hills in their life. Him smiling helps me to know that there is a way to get over things you just have to work at and for it.

Erskine 30 (Erskine 176)
I don't understand why Caitlin denied being autistic because she does act a little diffrent than other people in her grade but she doesn't mind it. I thought that it was only her close family like people she lives with who knew she was autistic but everyone in her grade and the teachers and her family know.
So everyone knows but her.
I know she thinks its normal because shes always been like this but I think she has had to notice shes a little diffrent.

Chapter 30 (Erskine 170)
I think that Caitlin finally understand some basic emotions because she tells Ms Brook that she will try to make friends becuase she made her dad finish the chest. She says it was hard for him which means that she understands the basic emotions.

I can't tell if Emma and her friend are making fun of her or being nice to her and wanting to be her friend. They laugh at her sometimes, but they also invite her to do stuff with them and be in a group with them.

Chapter 28 (Erskine 164)
The dad has redeemed himself a little bit because he agreed to finish the chest with Caitlin and I feel like it will make their relationship a little better because Caitlin will find closure and the dad will be able to talk about Devon now. But I still don't like him because he still doubts Caitlin. And it doens't even have to be on big things it could be on something little. Like he doubted her about aking up on time to go to lowes at 7.

Chapter 25 (Erskine 151)
In this book I feel bad for the dad but I also don't like him at the same time. When he says that she can't ask him about the chest untill a really long time and I feel like that he isn't doing a good job raising Caitlin. He keeps shutting her down and telling her not to talk about Devon when she wants to and it makes things better for her. Like when someone from my family died we like to talk about him when we are at a family party or if we are doing something he used to like. And the dad isn't doing this because he only cares about his feeling and not his daugthers feeling which she is still trying to understand. So when he tells her to stop saying things and not to talk about the chest he is at this point trying to not let Caitlin find closure. So at this point I really dislike the dad a lot.

Chapter 24 (Erskine 148)
I think Caitlin is starting to understand her own emotions now because when she searched up things about eagle scouts she got what she called a recess feeling. Even though she calls it a recess felling she is feeling sad or uneasy which is what everyone else feels so maybe she might understand others emotions now that she kind of understands hers.

¨Her voice is high and shaky¨ I like how Catlin is noticing that her voice is like that. I think that this means that she is learning how to see people's emotions.

¨ I get to go All the way to the office¨. I love how Catlin gets excited when she goes to the office like its a good fun thing that she get´s to do.

Chapter 23 (Erskine 145)
When Caitlins dad asks if she is okay going to middle school I don't think she understands that it might bring back memories of the shooting and her dad might get worried. She thinks that he means hard like how she feels at recess but he means if she is going to be reminded of Devon then she might be sad like her dad. I thinkt that the dad is really worried about her going there because they wouldn't expect people to get killed in a school and now that his son got shot there he might be worried that the same thing will happen to Caitlin.
