Dreamland

            I just finished reading the book called Dreamland by Sarah Dessen. The book tells a riveting story about a 16 year old, Caitlin. She gets involved with this guy named Rogerson, who takes over her life almost. Caitlin at first is very happy, she loves Rogerson, but then he starts hitting her. Soon it gets so bad, that Caitlin can no longer go out with any of her friends, in fear that Rogerson might see her and get jealous, or Rogerson, comes to pick her up, and she is not there. These are the things that Rogerson gets angry at. Through out the book, Caitlin changes, for good and for worse. 

            Caitlin changes a lot through out the book. One way that Caitlin changes is she stops standing up for herself. For example in the beginning of the book, when Caitlin didn't want something, she would say she didn't want it and not do it. But then towards the end of the book, it feels like Caitlin just gives up, and decides she doesn't care what people do to her, or make her do. For example in Dreamland, Rogerson asks Caitlin to go to a party with him, even though she knows he was going to hurt her. 

            Caitlin changes a lot through out the book. The last way that Caitlin changes is she closes in. This change is due to her boyfriend. Her mom and all of her friends asked Caitlin, to tell them whats wrong and why she kept pulling away from them, but all that made Caitlin do was pull away further.
