like when she over heard the cops saying that there was a (n) accident and she started to emphasize the no's

# data[].attributes.body
the mood of the story shows that she is sad because of how much she cries in these chapters

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that she analyzes everything that it not so important, and is so smart when it comes to thing that include subjects in school but she really has no emotion and feels nothing

# data[].attributes.body
The mood of this was very awkward because they have only been friends for about few weeks but then she changes the mood by saying she is her only friend and then she smiles in relief kinda:/

# data[].attributes.body
"I want to turn off the sun and live in the darkness."
This quote from the book shows that the mood of this part was kinda sad and depressing.

# data[].attributes.body
7 is considered a lucky number to some people this might be why she likes to count by 7's

# data[].attributes.body
she does seem kind of depressed like in the setting and she lost her parents in a car crash that is actually how some kids lose there parent's most of the time

"My eyes open and I realize that I'm looking at a pair of green shoes with no laces. I know those shoes" This book has a lot of signpost and this one is an motif

# data[].attributes.body
"...my presence has changed the dynamic of the situation" the mood here felt tense, I could feel it myself and I'm not even in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
also since the mood is the setting the mood affects the story because everybody in the salon went silent when the felt the tenseness of the 2 girls.

"Dell's apartment has 2 bedroom's"
This might be foreshadowing (giving clues) that Willow can move in with Dell.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that also it seemed like she was trying to show how she really meant it and how important it was

# data[].attributes.body
"Are you highly "gifted" or lowly "gifted".
When I was younger I got into the gifted program and this reminded me of it somehow.

# data[].attributes.body
"..I was happy" I feel like this is ironic because it always felt like she was always sad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when willow, pattie,mai and Quang-ha moved into dell's apartment it was kinda a big change for everyone involved. It really impacted the story.

# data[].attributes.body
"A few of my classmates,assuming I'm some kind of cheater, asked me for test answers", this is like a mirror to me because someone asked me for test answers before assuming I was some kind of cheater

"The old me would have been flooded with shame or worry but not now"
This quote from the book shows that willow has changed over time. Her emotions have also changed.

# data[].attributes.body
"what binds me to this world"
Willow was asking herself a tough question

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm surrounded by greenery. I can feel the plants swaying in the wind and the ground alive below me"
I think willow feels more comfortable in nature and in her garden than anywhere else. I think maybe all her worries and thoughts go away when she is like outside or in her garden.

# data[].attributes.body
One trait for the main character (willow)
Would be intelligent because she seems to be really good at school and just really intelligent.

# data[].attributes.body
"the moon can't hear someone say goodnight, it is 235,000 miles away"
I think Willow takes everything by facts and numbers so this could be one of her less likable traits.

# data[].attributes.body
"I don't keep track of time anymore and i don't count, but I saw the clock on the stove when he walked out the door and i just happened to be looking in that direction when he came back"

this text evidence shows that maybe willow is rejecting counting and maybe it reminds her of her parents so maybe it's to painful for her to count.

# data[].attributes.body
" i don't make a chart and i don't monitor the percentage of germination because I don't do that anymore"

I think this evidence shows that maybe willow is blocking out her old self. like her life before her parents died.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I'm signed in now but all the green ones are mine

"what binds me to this world"
To me the major conflict was when willows parents died she was kinda having a inner conflict. She was asking herself a tough question. Maybe she felt like what was her purpose to be here because it was a really depressing time for willow when her parents died.

# data[].attributes.body
The machine we rent requires real upper strength to operate, especially when it is attacking ground hard. Only dell can use it....
The bad news is that Dell is probably going to be sore to walk for the next week"

This is one of the smaller conflict although it is a conflict. Dell won't be able help her use the machine. I will find a better conflict.

"The cat was purring under his seat"
This is pretty unusual because my cousin got a new kitten and it was hiding under the car seat when we were trying to put it in the house

# data[].attributes.body
"it was cheddar a cat dell raised and the left him in the parking lot to fend for itself all alone." This shows that dell wasn't thinking about what will happen to Cheddar because after that the book said. "sitting there with a crocked tail dell felt a sudden rush of guilt."

# data[].attributes.body
"Pattie came through the door of the apartment and saw  Quang-ha doing his homework. He was never at the table doing his homework. He was always watching tv. But he barely looked at her when she came in. He didn't say a thing. Pattie noticed that his foot was twitching. Back and forth. Not shaking, but close."

This right here is irony. I can infer based off of my experiences in real life that, he's nervous. Not only the fact that he never has done homework before and he doing it today. It's because when I'm nervous my leg sometimes twitches or bounces. I think that is what's happening to him

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm not afraid of anything anymore, anymore, anymore."this shows that she is getting over her sadness because she is saying she is no longer afraid

# data[].attributes.body
"Then I realize that I'm laughing because I'm laughing"
This shows that willow is changing because she has not laughed or been happy  in a long time because of her parents and how depressing and overwhelming the whole situation was.

Also in this chapter they were cleaning the outside of the building and the powerwash thing was so powerful that it washed all the dirt of and you could see the old building of gardens of glenwood. And I think that maybe represents willow in a way. For example Willow I think is kinda starting to change into her old self again like she is laughing and being happy like before her parents died.

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm invisible now, which is fine with me"

I can infer from the evidence now and past chapters the only reason she's okay with being invisible is because almost all her life she's been invisible. She's never really been the star of attention which is really sad.

# data[].attributes.body
" The cat (with the hairless ear and the crooked tail) is in his own way inspiring"

I think this might be a little theme in the book maybe. because it is saying that it does not matter what you look like on the outside it's the inside that counts. Like the true emotion inside someone.

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm obsessed with this cat.And it's kinda working because cheddar is sort of obsessed with me"

This shows that in some parts of the story are in first person point of view because it used the words I and me.

# data[].attributes.body
"The doves were a symbol of love. The black skirt was a show of respect. And the red slippers were of course lucky. Probably no one in authority  would pick up on the symbolism, but if they did, Pattie wanted to give the right impression of her intent."

This shows that Pattie wants to make a right impression and be cool in a way that she can be comfortable while doing so

# data[].attributes.body
"There have never been any ice cream bars in the freezer but I now will buy a box at the first opportunity"

This kinda stood out to me in the book because I think willow now realizes that she has never had to go through this experience like with no parents so I think she is kinda saying that maybe when the time comes to do something she will take the first opportunity.

# data[].attributes.body
"But now I just say in a voice that sounds automatic," Get some rest, recovery is critical. And I'm gone. Jairo was spooked."

This is a Contrast and Contridiction becuase it seemed like Jairo was never spooked or scared or even fazed throughout the whole book so I think that it is pretty Ironic.

"is there anyone special who you've enjoyed meeting?" "I met someone who interests me." "can you tell us more?" "This afternoon was my first encounter. viewed as a clinical trial, I'm in Phase Zero, which is when microdosing takes place. I'll let you know how it develops." (Her parents could means 1 of 2 things, either, does she have a crush or did she make any friends. but based on other evidence I believe its option 1.) based on this evidence of a conversation between her and her mom I feel as if she is more dense when its less involved with science and more involved with communication and socialization purposes.
pg. 55, 56

"Activity
Patience
Attention
Willow had the ability to pay attention. She appeared to exhibit patience (she had listened to him drone for the first half of the appointment). But he could not rate her activity level." "GENIUS." This evidence so far shows that she has the majority of the skills to be a great student and be very successful in the future

# data[].attributes.body
"He was almost inspired.""... attempt to create something that would look metallic. Something that would stand out like oozing gold ink, Because Dell Duke had believed he had discovered a new category of the Strange:
GENIUS." Gold represents luxury, wealth, wisdom, magic, and ideas of love. I feel like that's why they had Dell choose the color gold for his new category, "GENIUS"

# data[].attributes.body
"he still looked as if he had slept for last week in his clothes: but his beard had been trimmed, or at least washed. And his very cluttered office had been straightened up." this evidence shows that he might have been intrigued and/or impressed by Willow and felt like he had to step up his game some.

"What if this girl was a member of the Cahuilla Tribe?`
...
It was possible.
But not probable.
Suddenly I couldn't control myself. I turned to the girl next the me and asked:
"Do you speak Takic?"" This evidence shows that she might be a very curious person, but also polite. she was trying to be polite and just sit there quietly since there was other stuff going on but then accidentally slipped.

"The next week I went online and ordered a cab from mexicano taxi again. In the special comments/requests box I asked for Jairo Hernandez." "You need to have a dermatologist perform a punch biopsy on the mole (nevus)on the back of your neck. if its not to much of an invasion of your privacy, i would very much like to look at your pathology report.I will be taking a taxi next week at this same time. this is important so please do not take this medical suggestion lightly." i feel as if this shows that willow and jairo will become something around the category of friends. the second quote shows that she is quite caring because it seems like she truly cares about his well being.

# data[].attributes.body
"because if i got trapped in a blaze started by arching electrical overload in the wall of the garage, the searing pain of losing my mom and dad would go up in smoke with me.
I would be released then.
I would be set free." the author does a really good job with making this seem so real. This piece of the story really shows how much she misses her parents, she is now onto the grieving fase when at first she was in sock (for a very little amount of time) and then denial.

title: "counting by 7's"
"NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO"
"For 7 years my mom tried to get pregnant."
"On the 7th day of the 7th month ... my new parents drove north to a hospital 257 miles from their home,"
"It probably wasn't 257 miles, but that's how I need to think of it.(2+5=7. And 257 is a prime number. Super-special. there is order in my universe."
These pieces of evident show that 7 is going to be a motif because the number was repeated at least 4 times in the first seven chapters.

"A N Y M O R E
N N
Y     Y
M       M
O            O
R                R

"then I realize that it is the 7th of the month. and I'm not surprised.
7 is a natural number.
And is a prime number.
there are 7 basic catastrophes.
And 7 days of the week.
Isaac Newton identified the 7 colors of the rainbow as:
violet
indigo
blue
green
yellow
orange
red
Dell put people in 7 categories:
misfit
oddball
lone wolf
weirdo
genius
dictator
mutant
…
I think at every stage of living, there are 7 people who matter in your world.
they are people who are inside you.
they are people you rely on.
they are people who daily change your life.
for me I count:
1. My mom (always)
2. and my dad (forever)
3.Mia
4.Dell
5.Quang-ha
6.Pattie
7.Jairo
I decide that when my head begins to pound from now on, I will shut my eyes and count to seven, instead of by 7's." The
evidence here shows that there are many times 7 gets mentioned which proves this is a motif, especially since it has been mentioned many times before this, too.

# data[].attributes.body
"List it online. It will be gone before you know it"

I think this represents real life and how that know the government doesn't have enough supply for the demand and you have order most things online because they most likely won't have them in local stores anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
" Each blossom held its own unique possibility"

Words of the wiser, I think Willow needed this because it tells her that just because she was sad before doesn't mean she has to be sad all her life. Basically that she can do other things, have her own path. She doesn't have to stay the same way the whole time.

# data[].attributes.body
"They are part of something bigger than themselves.
Even if they don't realize it.
I do."
"they speak to me, not in words, but in action.
they tell me that life goes on."
These quotation show that life goes on, we are a part of a community and so even if it feels like life isn't gonna continue with giving you all these fun memories and letting you experience new things, stuff life still goes on, and its your choice on whether you except reality or not

# data[].attributes.body
it was for the custody hearing.
…
now it was for real.
decisions had to be made.
she folded the letter in half and promised herself that she would do the right thing."
I'm not sure what she's gonna do but i feel like she might try and adopt willow because that would make them all happier.

# data[].attributes.body
"I hated to remove my red panama hat.
it was my signature color,"
"Or in Pattie's case, you cared about everything.
she wished all of her customers just wanted red nails. red was lucky."
authors do everything for a reason, so i think that Pattie is going to play a big role in the story since her and willow both have the same favorite color.

# data[].attributes.body
"what binds me to this world"
"meaning has been drained from my life.
i force myself to think of anything but the one thing that I'm actually always thinking about.
and that is so exhausting that i sleep more than i ever have.
i am a shadow.
i no longer dream in color.
i don't count by sevens.
because in this new world i don't count."
i feel like, based on this information, the main conflict is caused from her parents dying which leads to her grieving.

# data[].attributes.body
"we are all now working, even dell, when Jairo's taxi pulls up.
i see Pattie talking for a while at the curb.
somehow, it doesn't seem strange that his whole backseat happens to be filled with rags and 3 of those squeegee things."
I believe that something is going on between Pattie and Jairo because what the in the world are they talking about that is so important that they cant talk about while helping. and somewhere earlier in the book it said the Pattie was coming home late, but she never said why, exactly.

"he changes course like the wind in a dust storm.
I'll drop it off tomorrow on my lunch break. does that work for you two?"
we nod." "Pattie remembered the note that willow had written the first day she met her social worker at the nail salon. she couldn't imagine that any other kid had presented something as precise."
This evidence shows that there have been more than just 1 character that has put in there 2 sense. but it used I'll, we, she, and her. but ill and we indicate that the story is first person while she and her indicate its third person and it would be omniscient because we see more than one persons pov. so the question is what point of view does the story use?
