I think the dreams that Janie get dragged into represent her life in some way. Even though I haven't gotten far, I can predict that Janie doesn't have a very good life at home. It seems to be that her mother doesn't give her a shoulder to leans on. Her mother is obviously not supportive of Janie. When Janie was feeling sick her mom just walked away. I haven't heard anything about a father yet, so I'm wondering if Janie gets enough attention as a child. I have a feeling that the sexuality in the dreams she's been dragged into represent an area of weakness in her life. She needs somebody or something to fulfill the feeling of emptiness in her life.

Wake By Lisa McMann
This book is down right addictive. I just started this book today and I really enjoyed it. Wake, by Lisa McCann is a book about a young girl who gets pulled into other people's dreams. A lot of these dreams are quite disturbing, and it makes me think, why does Janie gets pulled into these particular dreams.

Hallie,
ReplyDeleteGreat job making predictions out of the context clues of what you've read so far.
The last sentence of this post really got me thinking. I'd love to hear more about that idea...a theory for a future post could be--people try to fill the empty parts of their lives with____
ReplyDeleteHallie this post was really great! I really like how you inferred about Janie's home life and how it affected her dreams. I agree with Ms. Robbins because the last line of your post also made me think a lot too. For your next post it would be cool if you told us if she fills the emptiness. Really good work
