In the story, the main character, Aza, struggles with the depth of her thoughts and she feels as if she is trapped with them. The text states, “I don't control my thoughts, so they're not really mine", which shows that she is managed by these voices in her head and it's something she can't deal with well. She never completely escapes her mind but we get to follow her as she tries.]]> 2018-08-24 13:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275134368 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275141571 This represents the theme of the book because it shows how thoughts may grow out of control. Her thoughts continue to expand and take over her life and sometimes it may feel that her thoughts are never-ending, growing and making new. ]]> 2018-08-24 14:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275141571 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275142597 This is a picture of a spiral that represents the pathway of her thoughts. She constantly refers to her mind's views as spirals. The author once wrote, “The thing about a spiral is, if you follow it inward, it never actually ends. It just keeps tightening, infinitely”.]]> 2018-08-24 14:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275142597 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275276078 The movie Inside Out shows how thoughts make you do certain things. Aza is completely controlled by her thoughts and it bothers her because she does not feel in control of herself. The book stated, "You will go to the hand sanitizer. Cogito, ergo non sum. Sweating you already have it nothing hurts like this you've already got it stop please God..." which shows her talking to her thoughts as if they were people, thoughts that are making her do things she may not want to.]]> 2018-08-24 21:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275276078 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275278057 This quote shows the theme of the book because she always is saying she feels trapped.

The song says his mind is a home he's trapped in. She believes her thoughts are trapping her from enjoying things in life.]]> 2018-08-24 22:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275278823 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275279347 The song says, "You see I'm trapped in my mind.
And I'm going trippy. Oh I don't think I'll ever go. You see the walls are so high. That I couldn't climb them. So I don't know which way to roll," which shows the struggle of being too overwhelmed in your own head. Not being able to get out. That's how Aza feels. She is trapped and can't climb out of her thoughts.]]> 2018-08-24 22:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275279347 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275279705 John Green wrote, "Anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see", and this relates to the quote because it shines light on the pain people go through when everything is only being seen by them in your head. Aza felt different than everyone because of her voices in her mind, only she could hear them, and yet she didn't want to hear them. It wasn't her choice.]]> 2018-08-24 22:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275279705 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275280281 This article is about how to get out of your head and live in reality. Nothing worked for Aza, but her therapist tried hard to give her ways to not be always in her mind. Although nothing had worked yet, maybe if she tried more methods, she'd be less trapped.]]> 2018-08-24 22:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275280281 olivia_seaholm10 https://padlet.com/olivia_seaholm10/y7gpdkp1dblo/wish/275280369 Like Aza, this girl talks about her struggles with a mental illness and how she goes about it. She goes in detail about how it feels and explains in a way others can understand and relate to. Aza tried to talk to people about how it felt but she could only describe it so well.
