1~5lol

Open the curtain of a mystery
“We are Sinclairs.” What kind of pain is hiding behind this sentence and covered with glory? I don’t know if it is a lucky for a girl like Cadence-- who is the main character of the book;  as the time she enjoy the benefits of living in a old-money family, she must also learn to hide her feelings under the mask called smelling.
Cadence is a beautiful and quiet girl who always spend her summer holiday with her mother Penny at Beechwood Island in Windemere. She likes to read book and play with a boy called Gat. Because of she is the oldest grandchildren in the Sinclair family, she bear the expectations and heiress. However, from what I know her granddad harries and grandma Tipper seemed loved Johnny more who is there biggest grandchild and the son of Carrie who lived in Red Gate and New York City. Johnny is snark and bounce who has a little brother called will and a friend called Gate. Gate is the nephew of Johnny mother’s new date whose name is Ed. Ed and Gate both have Indian ancestry, so their skin color is dark and have black hair which is really different from the Sinclair family who are white white with blond hairs. However Gate get along well with the Cadence, Johnny and Mirren; Gate have chance to stay in the island is because johnny beg the grandparent to let him stay, and grandparent never say no to johnny. they have been called lairs by the elders. Also I felt a little bit sincere feeling between Gate and Cadence. From how gate act the first time he saw Cadence and how they stay with each other together, but leave the other people. Nonetheless, they are only 14 years old, so they don’t consider this as love. 
Mirren one of the four lairs who is the daughter of Bess. She is a sugar, curiosity and rain girl. She has two twins sister and a sister called taft. They live Cuddledown and Cambridge.
A really important change on Cadence is the leaving of his father. He is a military history professor, he said he can’t stand the life of being a Sinclair, so he leave with some women. There’s connection between the words he said with the title which is her father said he couldn’t smile and lie like a Sinclair. Although, Cadence and Penny feel really bad after father’s leaving, they still smile as a Sinclair, change the things her father left and go back to normal life. Cadence describe her feeling as being shot in chest.
As you can see, that is all the information I get from this book from chapter one to chapter 5. It is a story full of mystery and lies and I am really looking forward to see what is going to happen next, What happen between Cadence and Gate? Why she become sick?

Some thoughts after reading the book

Destiny made two parallel lines contract and changed their path toward the future. From this book, we experienced with Lorenzo from a autism and stubborn boy turning to a bay with care; who also can and look forward to live as normal people and make friend with them. However, all of this which could be called as big changes took place at a small cellar. Olivia the catalyst and the major reason of why these changes happened. To tell you the truth, I don’t like a ending like that in book; I look forward to a happier ending which is usually happen in fairy tales. Nonetheless, just like the story Lorenzo told to his grandma. In the true world things could happen and end without any reason. “All good things must come to an end” If you can not disagree, you must learn to enjoy it. After years of trying, I get used to these kind of endings. This is reality.

My 30 Day Challenge

I have three ideas of the 30 days challenge. After pondering for a long period of time, I choose to write a poem every day. In my opinion, poem is a way of express your emotion and feelings. For example, when I walk along on the way to the class in the rain; listen to the sound of rain drops and feel the rhythm of the spring breeze. The sights I see stirs up my feeling and I need a way to release this. Therefore, write a poem become a best choice for me. However, I don’t have a habit as writing poem, so I want to try this as my 30 days challenge and change myself.

REvised

In the wind

Who walks past the tree
Takes away the lonely leaf
floats in the wind

Lightning

The light sweeps the dark
Divides the sky in half
Oh! Please wait for sound

Summary of the twist

Lorenzo's day start with a scary phonecall which is actually from his step sister but not his mother. She come to the cellar to find the staff she have before she left. Although Lorenzo try as hard as he can to hide, he is still found by his stepsister. She soon notice that Lorenzo afraid of other people to notice where he is hiding, so she use this to threaten Lorenzo to let her stay in the cellar for one night. Also Lorenzo found out some secret from his stepsister's staff and there's a connection gradually found between he and his stepsister.

Lorenzo's sister

From the book, we know that Lorenzo's sister is 23 years old. She was a very beautiful girl two years ago. However, now she become too skiny, sick and homeless. I think she is a very sel-important girl. We can see from she reject the help from her father. She has a really bad relationship with her father. Also she is a really smart girl. She use the weakness of Lorenzo and let her get into the cellar.
