RJ type: quotation
" It was all Jack could do to not embrace her. To let her trace the seam of his mouth....he did not touch her, not when her hands lighted on his chest, not when her hair tickled his neck, not when he realized she tasted of coffee and loneliness"
- This quote is important to the story because it shows that Jack is trying to prove to Addie that he is not the type of guy to be charged of rape. By not laying a single hand on her, he's trying to show that he's not a wild beast. He wants her to believe that he is innocent because he really is.
- The universal meaning of this quote means that you are able to prove yourself free of guilt. That even when the worst possible scenario comes up, there's so much evidence and proof, that there's still a chance to prove them wrong. People should not give up on what is the truth, even if it's a hard case. If you really want something you should go for it. This quote is trying to say don't give up, there's so many ways to reach your goal if you just digged deeper. it's also trying to say don't fall for other people's traps. A lot of people in the world pull you into their trap to see what you would do. For example in movies, when the victim is getting punished until he tells the gun holder the "truth." They only do that to intimidate you and make you look like you are the bad guy, when you are not. So keep trying, know that you are honest because if you really believed in yourself anything can happen. Your goals will be reached and even your dreams will come true like in Disney movies.

RJ 9
Book title: Salem Falls
reading journal type : imitation
"Kylianne died at 12:30 near Silver Creek's bus loop by a car crash. I remember the exact time because I was picking her up from school on a minimum day."
Sean's hands touched mine and responded," I know you're going crazy inside, but pretending that our daughter is still her is unhealthy for you."
" Love, I know Kylianne is gone. You think I don't? I know she's never going to eat the hamburgers or fries that I leave out for her during lunch, but it just has to be there. I know my only daughter will not yell back at me when I yell, but I wish she would...so I pretend that she does." Sean had nothing left to say, but to comfort his wife in what had happened and be there to help her through this emotional stage. Christine then left to the kitchen because she was reminded that Kylianne's uneaten plates were still on the table, that she needs to wash and throw in the trash once again. Sean seeing Christine's mental trouble killed him inside, wanting to make things better, but he wasn't good with words. Hopefully his actions, could give her enough love for her to accept the fact that their daughter is gone.
