Choice Book Report Quarter 2!

I read A Girl Called Al by Constance C. Greene. In this story the main character is a girl who lives in an apartment building who hasn't really met her best friend yet, and is in middle school. She lives in the apartment with her dad, mom, little brother, and herself. The closest thing she has to a best friend is the assistant superintendent in the apartments. He is an elderly man who is alone and used to be a bartender. She has a pretty good personal appearance, a so called "stunner" if you will. Her personality is a very thoughtful one, she's really going to try and get to know you and care about you. She's not going to befriend you and then leave you stranded, hoping for help. She will try to help in any way she can, even though unfortunately it isn't that much. In this story she meets, who she is confident, her best friend forever who will be by her through thick and thin in Al. Her secret goal that only Al knows about is her desire to be a model. One down point of our main character though is her lack of confidence. In the story she is asked to make decisions and she is so unsure of herself it hurts her in the long run. She is by no means inconsiderate. She is always very conscious of herself not to make anybody feel down or discouraged. I think many people do or will admire her for her bravery and honesty. If something is unfair she will let you know, but will be very kind in how she delivers it.
       I think that the main theme for this book is be considerate to others. The main character sort of figured this out when she wasn't thinking of Al's father situation. That event portrayed an awkward period when they kind of separated a little bit. After a week or so they come together and make up and it's like that incident never happened. The main character made a promise to herself to be more aware of Al's situation within. I have gone through something very similar to what the main character did. I wasn't thinking of my friends families situation and I regret some of the things I said imagining that everybody had both original parents around when I made a mistake. I regretted it immediately apologizing almost instantaneously. We both went through that awkward state of silence between and everyday I apologized, until about a week later when that person invited me back to their house again. It was like the knife had been taken out. I am so lucky to have a friend like them. I don't know what I'd do without them.
Thank you!
