In the last chapters of the book I find Blue’s father to be a completely out of his mind. Just because Blue got with in inches of discovering his dirty little secret, she is still his daughter who would love him regardless and stand by his side. No matter what, but instead he takes off with out a single trace.
Through the last chapters I am still in awe that Blue’s father would abandon her just like that, with out even a good bye. In my eyes Blue’s father is a deranged mad man who, cares about nothing else besides himself, and his idiotic idea that him and his little organization would be able to fight injustice by killing people, and educating those who are deemed adequate. Also to put his daughter through the misery of having lost not only her mother at an early age, and now her father at such a late age is completely unbearable, even I being the reader felt sorry for Blue to fall up such misfortune.
Through Blue’s father’s absence though, we the readers where able to discover with Blue that not only was her father a psycho, but also a fake. Not one place he claimed to be a professor at confirmed that he had worked for them at all, when Blue tried calling past employers of his in order to search for her father. Not only were her father’s jobs fake, but also other professors he had claimed to meet with, and have dinner with to discuss what ever they had discussed were also fake. Which lead me to confirm Blue’s father was actually a recruiter for the Night Watchmen, or someone really important who acts like a telephone to inform other members of recent events and for them to carry pout new missions.
Also during this these last chapters not only was my suspicion of Blue’s father seemingly correct but I also believe that Blue’s father killed her mother, with assistance from Hanna. This is reason why Blue’s father had meetings with Hanna, and knew that Blue went to stay with her when she had run away, but done nothing to pick her back up from Hanna. Also another piece of evidence which leads to this conclusion is that Blue somewhat remembers Hanna from before but with a different look where Hanna had looked out for her when she was a mere child, who picked her up from school and took her home to take care of her.
The last piece of evidence was the picture of the car crash shown in class of Blue’s mother’s car crash. In the drawing the passenger car door was open and undamaged upon hitting a tree, while the driver’s side was a complete wreck killing Blue’s mother. I had been taught in school that most to all drivers when about to crash into an object will pull the steering wheel in a motion such that the passenger would most likely be killed rather than the driver. This is not because the driver is being selfish, but rather human nature to survive.
Monday, April 30, 2007
In chapters 30- 33 I believe Blue has really fallen onto something important in the book, to where, if Blue could think a little harder and more coherently that instead of her fathering being pray of the “Night Watchmen” should be able to identify her father as being one of them.
In parts of what Blue discovers thinking that her father being a target of the Night Watchmen, I believe rather her father is one of them. What lead me to believe that is the idea that he is a revolutionary fanatic, completely infatuated with the idea of revolutions and independence for the people of the oppressive government, rather than thinking those types of people just being dangerously radical hippies.
With regard to Blue and her father continuously moving from state to state, attending different schools, and jobs, I took note that once in class my professor Prof. Buckman noted that she had not known any one such as Mr. Van Meer to quit professorships at one school and move with in a term to another school. Which noted that such actions were highly unlikely to near never happening, with the use of some common sense of the idea of, which school in the right mind would only higher a man who would work for them for only a semester, and put them selves back into a frenzy looking for a professor to teach that subject again? Most likely no college or university would do that to themselves.
While in the last chapter Blue stumbles unto some very vital information, which she miss-analyzed and mistaken for a love affair, for what it quite possible could have been, a Night Watchman meeting. Which none-the-less highly upsetted Blue into a violent frenzy of throwing books and other objects at her father which only raise my suspicion and quite possible other readers of how her father was so able to avoid them. Which she described her father as being able to deflect the object thrown at him with such ease, by merely brushing them off or easily dodging them.
To me that only heightened my suspicion of Blue’s father to the point where I was almost 100% sure that Blue’s father was a night watchman instead of a possible victim of the Night watchmen.

Chapters 27-30
Upon reading chapters 27-30 many events took place which i found some what distasteful, but during the reading what really took the cake, was Milton. In any group or culture on this planet are you to bring up another’s sexuality to make fun of them.
In the beginning when Milton approached Blue for further help to investigate Hanna’s mystery case on whither or not she actually killed her self of someone else killed her. I was suspicious, because prior to when Milton asked Blue to go to Hanna’s to look around, he would not even give her the time of day, such as when Blue called him to talk after the Hanna incident. Thus when Milton approached Blue, I thought it was some evil ploy set up by the “Bluebloods” to get even at Blue for Hanna’s death. Instead the whole thing seemed legit to myself or even to any other reader of the book, which I think was a ploy by the reader to make Milton seem innocent and cover up what he really was, a dog.
Everything with regard to Milton and Blue prior to the end of the reading assignment I believe was to make what was bound to happen extremely predictable. In Hanna’s room even though the reader was not in the same room, you could feel the tension radiating from the room, and you knew something was bound to happen with Milton and Blue. Upon what took place Milton and Blue rolling around naked in Hanna’s bed making out, it put the reader at ease thinking “it is about time one of those Bluebloods came to their senses.” Thus that scene created a sense of ease for Blue with the readers.
But as previous chapters have displayed the author likes to throw those unsuspected curveballs at the readers, and come out from no where and uses that sense of security from Blue and the readers for Blue as the ultimate surprise. When Blue searches for Milton after school to hang out and possible enjoy another “naked roll around make out session” Milton not only shocks Blue into breaking down, but also the readers into seeing Milton as what he really is, scum. This appeared when nothing the Bluebloods were teasing Blue about were taking no effect so, Milton whipped out his trumo card on blue and made her feel inadequate

Chapter 24-26
Chapters 24-26
After reading chapters 24, 25, and 26 I found them to be extremely frustrating. I did not think there was any real reason for the bluebloods to blame Blue for the death of Hanna, rather all the negative things that has and will happen from hence on forth is on Hanna.
Such as the bluebloods and the entire school blaming Blue for Hanna’s death is totally out of place. Having all of Blue’s “friends” avoid her, and treat her like some kind of deadly virus, must be completely overwhelming. What makes the situation worse for Blue is that now rumors are being spread about her, and no efforts are being made to at least to hide it from her.
With this type of recovery process Blue is suffering through after having seen Hanna dead swinging from a electrical cord, it would not be hard to imagine how for the rest of the book Blue would be a complete mess. Of which none the less she is, from lack of sleep and food. Nearing the end of the reading assignment, chapter 26 Blue comes to conclusion that the report released by detective Harper is incorrect. Blue believes Hanna was murdered rather than Hanna being a suicide case, which in the beginning readers such as myself am lead to believe. This is so until detective Harper explains the reasoning behind her conclusion of suicide, over homicide. Had the Hanna been a homicide case, the bruises caused by Hanna’s weight on her neck would have come out differently instead of it being circular. While for homicide cases people who are strangled to death have a bruise on their neck the shape of a “V” which would indicates some sense of struggle, instead of the unforced mark.
Through that conclusion I would agree with detective Harper that Hanna committed suicide rather than being murdered, and that Blue should no longer have to suffer Hanna’s death any longer, because it just si not worth it.
“Someone who would do that to innocent children isn’t worth getting worked up over”

Reading journal Ch. 21-23 "My thoughts"
Before reading these chapters I felt as if in the previous chapters the findings of the missing people and Hanna’s mysterious past of going into the wilderness was a ominous sign. All the events prior to this what was about to happen was just a foreshadowing of someone’s death.
In chapter 21 when the bluebloods and Hanna were making their way up to their camping spot, I found it extremely awkward, and some what scary in the sense that if I were there a grown women who had just mutilated her own hair to start screaming. No normal grown up especially a teacher would be in the right mind to step out of line so far as into start cussing on the top of their lungs, and to have al the others follow. I believe that whole time only Blue stayed in the right mind. Through that I thought for sure through all the anticipation of someone getting killed, I thought it would be the whole group of bluebloods to be killed off by Hanna, and then her committing suicide. Then the author threw that curveball having another person out there in the wilderness with them, followed by a nervous panic of the teens. Normally when people go camping and find that there are other people with in the vicinity they feel comforted to know that should anything happen there will be others close by. But the way the author put it, it confirmed there were going to be deaths, and this time not by Hanna as suspected from the prior information given, of the missing people. What also helped lead the suspicion away from Hanna killing all the kids off was what Lula had said “You could tell she was as scared as I was. But she didn’t want to say so because she thought she had to be an adult, responsible and everything.”(P.325)
When chapter 22 came around thus being the climax, all the earlier suspicions of Hanna going to kill someone were certainly put to rest, when she was found dead by Blue hanging from a tree by her neck. In the beginning of chapter though I still had a slight suspicion that Hanna was going to kill Blue, when Hanna had lead blue out into the middle of nowhere where the rest of the bluebloods were out of sight, and reach should something happen. But instead of Hanna trying to kill Blue she wanted to reveal an important secret about herself to Blue, instead though the author threw the ultimate curve ball and had Hanna run off into the darkness by herself looking for the other person who was suspected of being with in the vicinity of the bluebloods. Having Blue wait for Hanna for some time to return she decided to go back to camp, but ran into Hanna’s dead body hanging from a tree.
Chapter 23 was pretty exciting even though all the action was over, because of the though of what was going to happen next, and with the Bluebloods most likely still out there not knowing what is what. As of this moment part of me suspects this was all an elaborate plan, a mean joke that is being played on Blue; for what reason? I don’t know why, probably because that what mean popular kids do. Also what does not help is the idea that all these kids had disturbing pasts which would have seriously messed with their heads. The other part of me that does not suspect a mean elaborate joke, believes that this is a real killing, but what bothers me about it was that from what I can see there is no motive behind it.
Just these back couple chapters have had me re-evaluating everything I have read so far, due to all those curveballs being throw. They have really kept me on my toes, making me go back pages to reread what I though what was what. No other book I have ever read has ever been this mind boggling as this, either that or I am just over evaluating everything.
