Questions:

1. What was the point in listening to the Beatles song, In my life, and what was it's significance?
 I feel like the significance of this song in the book was because the song it self represents a happy time in life, which could be something good for Brent, through out everything that he has gone through.

2. What makes the nurse that always comes in, in the middle of the night "freaky?"
As Brent says, she's "freaky" because of her extra long nails, and I'm guessing shes not all that friendly if she comes off as scary towards Brent.

Comments:

1. I don't think it was a good idea that the nurses decided to move Brent from what was once his own room in the children's hospital, to a room where hes forced to stay with a roommate, someone he does not know, and that does not talk. Usually it would make sense to get to know your new roommate, making them less of a stranger. Though in this case, Brent is alone in his room for two, while his roommate is sitting on the bed next to him.


2. When Brent goes down to the bowling alley with Jodi, you realize how much of a change he has actually gone through. From once not even being able to move in his hospital bed, to now being able to bowl, You can see he is finally getting healthier, though he is still stuck where he is. This place seems to be a lot more fun then the older hospital that he was in, where all there was, was the lobby, his room, medical caring rooms, as well as the cafeteria. 


Predictions:

I find this book not getting anywhere, like I'm not even exciting to go on and see how it finally ends. All that I can possibly see happening in Brent's future is going home and trying to restart his life he had once had, and nothing different.
