In my last blog entry, I wrote about the book Elsewhere. This time I am going to write about how I chose this book. I chose the book Elsewhere because I read the back and it sounded very interesting. The back had a letter from one of the main characters, Elizabeth, that was to her science teacher saying that she is dead and that she will not be able to make it to the science fair this year and is sad about it. At the beginning of the book, Liz gets to look through binoculors to see her funeral and she sees that her science teacher is not there and was sad. So she also includes this in the letter on the back of the book. This made me curious because I was wondering why if she is dead how the science teacher got the letter and how did she wrote it.

Now that I am reading the book I am learning more about Liz. By looking in the binoculors she finds out that she is dead. She was killed because she got in a bicycle accident. I also learned that the reason her head was shaved (that I talked about in my first blog entry) is because she was in an operation after her biking accident. She still has a hard time believing that she is dead until she looks in the binoculors and knows that it is really true. Now she has to learn to live in a place that is different.
