Blog Post 4-Lilla

       If Victoria was part of a high-school clique she would probably be pretty cool. Probably would do some sports, but most the time she doesn't care what the "popular" kids say about her or think about her. She probably would turn in all her work in time, or at least try if she's with her mom. Although, if she went to school in New York with her dad probably not. The reason for this is because it's bigger, and she also would be stressed out and worried about her dad.

What I would say to my character

I would say "What are you thinking taking that baby all over the place." "Stop running just give the baby to his mom and get it over with." "I know you love that baby but so does the mom and you need to get back to your family too." If I were you I would not want to give that child up either but, he isn't your child to take care of and to look after. By the way why did you take the child."

I would say this because I would the same thing and try to take care of the baby but when the police and his mother was looking for him I would give him back. I know how she feels by leaving the child to a mom that loves but beats her child. It is the right thing to do and leave the child with his right full mother. 

What would you say to your main character right now

If i had the chance to talk to my main character right now i would say Vitoria you're doing the right thing by turning him in and keeping your promise . I would say that because i think she's doing the right thing and i would do the same thing if i was her. When i said you kept your promise because in the book when she was on the bus and she was about to turn in Will's she said she will keep fighting for him and she will always love him and would never forget about him. I honestly feel like she's doing the right thing and i think it's real stupid how Jake want's her to get in trouble real bad like his heart is iching and want her to get in a lot of trouble but she's real not in trouble she just has to go to a Juvenile offender . Her dad is really mad at her and it talks about how Vitoria wants to tell her she's sorry for putting him in a lot of trouble. So that's what i honestly think about vitoria and what i would say to her if i could talk to her right now.

what would you say to the character

I would tell victoria to relax and tell her that she needs to tell her parents that she was wondering if she should even come home or maybe she could just tell her mom and dad that she cant i would honestly tell her that she was being rude and selfish to her parents and then she should be a nice person and come home like a responsible adult. i would say this because she needs someone else's opinion and it would help her make a good decision.

she should be a smarter person when it comes to that because who doesn't know what kidnapping is especially when you are almost 16yrs old and that would be crazy i don't know i guess she wasn't very bright about that subject and i would probably get her some help and she needs some guidance and she needs some life skills and you know a little hand to take her through things in life and maybe she could have a little help with becoming a teenager by her mom or grandma and people that cares about her through her life.

talk with Victoria

I would tell Victoria all the pain she could have put the family in.But i will also tell her where her heart is at trying to help wills and all the danger he could be in if wills get sent back with the wrong people.So she in a great place but she also is now a kidnapper because she took wills without permission.SO i would tell her all the danger shes doing to her self and putting all the extra stress on her making sure wills is okay.


I will also talk to her about her future and how she could be messing that up she could just go back and give wills to his the lady so neither one of them would get hurt by Jake. she should also show the police the money and tell them everything that happened from the time she got on the plain ti the times she got off the got back to the train.she needs to stop even though she really not doing anything bad because shes taking care of him and caring for  him but she should stop so her or wills doesn't get her hurt by jake and before she hands wills over they should get a DNA test to prove him wrong and show every phone call textb message and everything else Jake has said to Victoria.


 

I would say to her give the child back so he can go to him mom even though the mom hits him then i think u are going to get caught just give him to  the police and u wont get in that much trouble or give to his aunt or the mom but what ever u do do not give to Jack he will kill you and him if u dont have the money i think u should go to the police and give them wills and the money and turn jack in and then you wont get in that much trouble

Is Victoria On the Weaker or Stronger Side? --Caitlin Eivins

I would rate Victoria on the stronger side.  I would put her on the stronger side because she definitely would stand up or put herself out there for anyone even if she could possibly get in trouble.  An example of her doing that is when she took the little boy a.k.a. William a.k.a. Wills.  She put herself at risk for getting in trouble by taking the little boy farther away from where they both were supposed to be.  All of my lit circle members agree that Victoria is on the stronger side because she is definitely a reliable person and she would definitely be a person I would count on to take care of someone.

I think that Victoria will stay on the stronger side rather than the weaker side because she will hold her own against the police, Jake, and her dad.  But, she could probably end up taking the little boy back to his rightful owner. On the other hand, she did see what was happening to the little boy and she might see if she could permanently take care of him in order for him to grow up on the better side of things.  I also think that she could go to the weaker side because she knows that she will end up having to give Wills back to Jake or "The Hand."  Although, she also knows that her dad is going to be a bit mad at her for going farther away without telling him and she might just go farther.
