I’m reading a book called “life As
We Knew It”. So far in this book Miranda a 16 year old is going through a lot.
Her parents are divorced and her social life is not going so great. Her dad got married to a girl half his age
and is having a baby. Miranda doesn't like her dad’s new wife and she
especially doesn't like the fact that there having a baby together. On the
bright side her mom finally found a man that she really likes, peter. She also
has two brothers Matt and Johnny. Johnny is obsessed with baseball and is a
little self fish. Matt on the other hand is a smart positive that’s been sent
out to collage. Miranda’s life changed when a meteor hit the moon. The meteor
hit the moon so hard it got closer to earth. As it got closer the tides rose
and tsunami hit. Thunderstorms hit and gas prices rose. Now Miranda has no
electricity and has over a hundred cans of food in her kitchen. She did meet a
boy named Dan. Eventually her mom stopped trusting her and Miranda is furious
that her mom wouldn't let her go out. All in all Miranda’s life turned upside
down.
Miranda’s
is confused about her new boyfriend because she really likes him but her mom
does not approve. Miranda wants to stay with Dan but she knows that her mom is
worried that Dan is using her. Miranda’s mom warned her about giving away food.
Miranda’s mom told her that the only thing that matters is family. Miranda of
course ignores are and still hangs out with Dan. If I was in a situation where I
was in apocalypse, the only thing I will be worried about is my family. I’m guessing
Miranda hasn't realized that, or maybe she’s in “love”. A complex thing that Miranda is going through
is that she can only eat once a day. Miranda and her family want to save food
because they now that they will run out.
I feel bad for her family because they have to suffer through
starvation. I can’t last one day without eating at least twice.
