Personification is often used especially with the object of fire. The author shows fire as Jeanette‘s emotions and reasoning for why she was the way she is but also conveys an ongoing theme of her upbringing. The fire adds Jeannette‘s fascination with fire and chaos. I think that it helped me understand Jeanette‘s upbringing and identity better. I think that the fire stands for Jeanette never knowing whether her family had done more good then harm

Escapism is a major theme in the story,shown most in Rex Walls.Rex is chased by the cops for crimes he has committed but he chooses to look at the situation as an adventure then a danger.Lori is more a static character in the novel, she didn‘t change much through the story nor did she talk much. It seems like Lori has just given up overall with her parents principles, the limited info the novel gives on her builds my curiosity about her even more.

The book is about the author Mindy and it is kind of just a dairy entry where she talks about why she as a kid was secluded and her childhood years. I really loved the book, I was really able to connect with some of the issues she faced when she was in her teenage years and i find it great to look at things from her POV. The book is first person POV and Mindy the author begins to tell us about how much she tried to fit in regardless of some issues
