Chapter 1
I don't understand why she is not allowed to see the chest because it was something her brother was doing for his project and its not like its a secret because she knew they were working on it.

Chapter 5 (Erskine 31)
I don't understand why Josh isn't saying sorry for what he did. Even if he didn't know what he did he might as well just say sorry and get it overwith so she would go away. Sometimes thats what some people do if they don't want the person near then because it would get them away faster. Josh obviously didn't like her so he could have just said sorry to make her feel better than arguing with her.

Chapter 5 (Erskine 29)
I wonder if she knows that sometimes people smile if they want to be mean. Like when Josh was getting too close to William H and made him mad. She said she wishes people followed the Facial Expessions Chart.

Chapter 2 (Erskine 5)
I understnad that the whole town is upset that he died and they want to help Caitlin by talking to her about stuff, but I don't understand why they still think she wants to talk when she tells her dad she doesn't want to talk to them.

Chapter 5 (Erskine 29)
When Josh compares Caitlin to a dog I started to wonder if anyone other then her close family that live with her know that she's autistic. When they were at the funeral people were touching Caitlin and she doesn't like that and it has to do with her autism. Also when she was at recess Josh called her a dog because she was sucking on her sleeve because she didn't want to be near people because of her autism.

I notice that the author is using a lot of repetition saying that the bird is floating and falling and that the girl does not want to be like the bird. So she sticks her hear under the cushion.

I can relate to Caitlin when she says that her dad asked if she remembers them when she does not. This happens to me a lot because I know so many people and I might not remember them, and my parents might think I do. Overall can feel were she is coming from.

When Caitlin says that she does not want to look the teacher in the eye and she likes reading lips better than eyes. I can infer that this is most likely part of her autism spectrum distorter. I know that reading lips can help some kids with autism instead of looking someone directly in the eyes. So I think that Caitlin understands more when reading lips.

I think that the dad does not want to get pizza because it reminds him to much of Devon. The dad is probably still really upset about the death of Devon, and does not want to do anything that reminds him of Devon. So he turned down Caitlin's request because he is to sad.

I wonder if the other kids in Caitlin's class know that she kind of has Autism. I wonder if they understand what she is going thru and that it is not hard. If they do understand I wonder if they are standing up for her because of her brother, or because of Josh, or just because of her Autism.

I wonder if Caitlin reads heart books too see if her brother could have stayed alive?

I think that Mrs. Brook really wants Caitlin to make friends because it can help her focus more on her work. It can also probably help Caitlin get the death of Devon off her mind. I think that Mrs. Brook is trying really hard but still knows that she has to be patient with Caitlin.

i noticed that the author compared Devons project to a hurt bird when the father put the sheet over it.

She does not seem to know not to take candy from strangers. The author also makes it very clear that she is autistic by saying things like I don't like it when people touch me or I want to bury my head until its dark.

Most people like recess, but with the way that she is I can see why she does not. She does not like people in her personal space and I can see that recess is not the best place to have personal space. Also recess is loud another thing that she does not like.

I find it odd that she was not allowed to see the chest, but she could still feel and draw it.

She is very closed off with her feelings and will not say TRM.

Instead, she says TR-.

Even though she is autistic, she still picks up on ay little things like the smells in the room.
She also is very witty with her words.

i kinda relate to when she feels uncomfortable around family she doesn't know because it has happened to me before but in random times like at a store or in my aunt's apartment.
