Whatever+Happened+to+Janie

Brandi First, I’m reading Whatever Happened to Janie By: Caroline B. Cooney. Yes, I would recommend this book to other people because it was good book. It explains everything good that you can picture it in your head. On a scale of 1 -10 I would give the book a 9.5 because it was good but it was confusing sometimes. Second, My opinion on the plot was shocking. The conflict was Janie is leaving the spring family to go live with the Johnson’s again. I couldn’t believe that she would leave her real family. I think the Johnson’s are going to be happy that Janie is coming back to live with them. I thought she liked living with the springs because that’s her real family. A falling action was when Mrs. Spring took Janie to the gas station and she bought Janie something to drink and she said, “this is the last thing I’m going to but my daughter “. I would be really sad that I wouldn’t be able to talk. A raising action is Janie still gets to see Reeve even if she would still live in the Spring family. She’s going to be happy that she leaves beside Reeve again. He’s going to be happy that her can drive her to school again. Third, The main characters are Janie, Reeve, Mr. and Mrs. Spring, Jodie, Stephen, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. My favorite person is Mrs. Johnson. I couldn’t believe that she would lie that long, After all she told the truth. Mrs. Johnson didn’t want to lie to Janie anymore about not being Janie’s real parents .My least favorite person was Stephen. He was my least favorite because he didn’t like Janie even before she came to that family. It said in the text that he heard that Janie was coming to the family and he’s like I don’t want her to come. When Janie walked in the door at the Spring’s house they were giving her hugs and he just sat there and watched. However, every time Janie said anything about her Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and her friends he would say something mean about them. He doesn’t even know them before and you can’t judge anyone before you get to meet them. Fourth, The setting is at the spring’s house. My opinion in the way that the author described it’s a small house because it said that the bathroom is small and you only get 3 minutes in the shower. Next, I would hate to have to get a 3-minute shower. Janie has to share a room with Jodie. I would hate to share bedroom with someone else. It would be hard to fit 7 people in a house together. Next, The theme is don’t always judge people before you get to know them because Stephen is always judging Janie’s friends .The text says that Stephen says something mean about everyone that Janie talks about. When Reeve came to see Janie I don’t think that Stephen liked Reeve either and he never got a chance to meet him .He was only sitting there listening when Reeve asked Janie to prom. I don’t think that Stephen ever liked Janie. Finally, I would suggest that other people would read this book. It’s a great book the writing and the author uses good words. I would recommend this book but I would recommend you read the first book because you have to know what happens in the first book to know what happens in the second book.
