A sixteen year old girl named Noa wakes up on a table with an IV in her arm and no idea where she is at and no recollection of how she got there. Noa wakes up to a man telling her that she is in the hospital and that everything is okay. Noa can sense that isn't true. She somehow escapes from the supervision of this mysterious man by knocking him out. Although she may have escaped from him, she is still stuck in a large facility with no idea how to get out. Noa is now on the run from numerous people who are looking all over for her. Noa then realizes that she is in a marine shipyard, dry-dock storage for boats. She quickly finds a boat and gets under the dock to hide. This quote really tells how Noa is reacting to her situation. She is scared but is trying to make the best out of her situation because she can't change it. 
Don't turn around:
"'What kind of accident?' The doctor paused , his eyes shifting as he searched for a response, and Noa knew he was lying ."(pg.3)
In this passage Noa realizes that he is lying, right after this the "doctor" tells her that she was in a car accident which Noa knows is certainly not true, she doesn't own a car and never takes taxis. She walks almost everywhere she goes. In this point of the book, Noa is feeling many things: shocked, confused, scared and definitely in fear of her life. Noa is fighting for her life. Will she make it out alive?
Connection: Personally I really have enjoyed this book so far. I can only read a book that keeps me intrigued from the first page to the last, and this book does just that. This book is very suspenseful!
I like the quote that you chose!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you found a book that you love because it's so hard for me to find one that I like.
ReplyDeleteThe quote really gives you a sense of the story. You can tell something isn't right, no one should have to ask that kind of question. Sounds interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteI started to read this book, but stopped. I may have to start reading it again.
