This journal will include many topics and connections to real life. This is the third book of the Asylum series by Madeleine Roux. A quick summary of the book would be that there are 3 characters who are spending their senior year on the road and things don’t go as planned. They start to get weird text messages from someone who had died a long time ago. They now have to find out why that’s happening and stop it. One of the three characters are named Dan and he is a very important character. He is related to everything that is happening to him and his friends. When Dan met his friends, Abby and Jordan, they were at a pre-college camp and had just became friends instantly. Dan reminds me of myself because in the beginning of the book he is the

It also gives me a chance to be sort of like a detective solving a crime or a mysterious case. There is a part in the book where Dan and his friends are in a new town and Dan sees someone running to an abandoned building but none of his friends can see this person. I was curious to find out why Dan is seeing this person and who exactly the person is. In this part I was able to use my “detective” skills and guess who this person must be and why this random person is leading Dan to the abandoned building. There is also this fascinating part in the book where they talk about bone thieves and how Dan is one of them. There is this one character who has to rob graves to get money and support himself. I think it is interesting that the author put this in the book because it shows that even though people do this they don’t always have a bad reason for doing …show more content…
When he is with his friends riding around into different towns he lets loose and enjoys the time with his friends. I feel like I am the same way when I have time to just hang out with my friends on the weekends. But there is Abby one of Dan’s three friends who I think I am alike in some ways. She likes to express herself in her art work which a lot of people don’t necessarily do and even though I am not good at art nor do I do much of art I think that I express myself different from everyone else. I express myself in my quietness most of the time. People might turn away from this type of book because it isn’t the brightest book out there. It is mysterious and it touches hard ground because Dan has parents but they are not his biological parents. He meets his mom at the end of the book and it is heartwarming to know that he received answers to questions that he has had for many years. Some people like me are willing and like to read books like this where they have a dark and not very happy beginning but a happy and not knowing what will happen at the end. Some may like the suspense of reading and waiting but others just like to get right to the point. Jordan is one of Dan’s three friends and since he is gay he’s had a rough past. From his past I learned that you should just keep trying and never give up. The thematic statement is to never give up even when the task is difficult or seems impossible to do. In twenty years or so I think that
