    the book is about a girl who has dreams but she feels like it's true then Jannie every time she dreams she focuses more and more on telling her dreams to others then she cares about how they think about her or who they will say
    her mother never pay attention to Jannie why her mother takes a lot of alcohol she told her best friend Carrie although they were very distant from Carrie economy i accept being her friend.
    then it is an important subject the book has an interesting and beautiful story

      i agree with what you said. i think carrie and janies friendships is a strong one. i feel like she has been there for janie more than janies own mother has. she always makes sure shes okay. also whenever carrie needed to get out of her house, janie would let her stay the night, the next morning carrie was cleaning janies kitched for her.

    The setting in the story wake differs in parts of the book. It first takes place at Janie (the main character) school. When the people around her are awake, Janie is awake, but if 1 person falls asleep so does she. Janie calls it a dream curse because when other people around her sleep, she falls into their dream. These dreams affect Janie in different ways, when she has bad dreams, she gets scared. The hardest part for her is keeping this secret of hers from her friends. She has to be careful when shes in school because if anyone sees her pass out, or start shaking or start screaming for no reason its bad news for her. A good example would be when she is on the bus going on a field trip when Cabel sees what happens to her.

      i agree that the setting differs in parts of the book. she can see any ones dream and it doesnt matter where at. she can have bad dreams or soemtimes good ones. i agree on how you said the hardest part is keeping the secrete from her friends because she needs someone to talk to about it.

      the hardest part is keeping it from her friends because she doesnt have anyone to talk to about her situation. it would be different if her mom was there for her but shes not. one time when she went to the hostpital her mom didnt even ask what was wrong sh ejust let her leave.

    In Wake, Janie Hannagan was working at Heather Home and because of what happens when shes too close to people sleeping she tries to avoid the east wing where Mr. Reed is staying because he is usually sleeping and has very bad dreams so the door is always open, her job was on the line if she didn’t go down there one day so ahead of time she studied the area around the east wing in case she got caught in his dream. So when she went into the hall and got caught in his dream she was paralyzed. She tried what she could to get out of this but couldn’t and then gets woken up was Mr. Reed dies and she is laying on the floor having what her fellow co-workers said was a stroke.

    For me the book wake is interesting because it is based on the dreams of Janie Hannagan also the interesting character is Jannie Hannagan she looked for a double job she is a teenager who sometimes dreams are based on what she is going through as with the man who had to watch her die that night she had a dream where she saw a white figure with cuccules on the nails and only spent the time sharpening them hen she only told herself that the strange figure could not hurt her the figure was five feet away from her and only focused on the sharp knives she had in her hands jannie refuted behind the barn then she closed her eyes and she fell asleep when I woke up she just saw two normal people

    one character's actions i dislike is janies moms. her mom doesnt seem like she cares very much about janie. one time janie was in her room because she stayed home from school. the school called janies mom and she didnt even know she was home,and she probably wouldnt care. also one time janie had one of her dreams while she was at work and started having a sizer and had to go to the hostpital. her mom didnt ask what was wrong and it seemed like she didnt care. i feel like this impacts janie because she doesnt really have a parent that she can count on. she has to take care of herself.

      I agree, her mom really doesn't do anything to help Janie with the house or with how she gets sucked into dreams or anything at all, all she does is go and hide in her room and she then has to take care of everything by herself along with going to school and work.

    One characters actions i really don't like is Janies mom, she doesn't seem like she cares for janie. Janie has all these dreams and her mom doesn't even know she has them, shes always drinking and not caring about her surroundings. Like for example after janie got home from work she had a bad dream and janie told her mom she didn't feel good and her mom basically just pushed her away. That's not what a good example of a good parent is. The only person Janie can really count on is her friends. And life really shouldn't be that way for janie. I don't think Janies mom really knows what she goes through. During janies dreams she could hear or see something she didn't want to. For exapmle during her dream of the war, one of the guys was about to get hurt and janie tried to yell at him to move but he couldn't hear janie so he died. And janie took that out on herself and thought it was her fault because she couldn't do anything to save him.

    The characters actions I disagree with is Janie's mom. She never notices her own daughter and could care less on how Janie feels or what she’s doing or anything, she doesn’t act like the parent she should, just gets drunk and disappears. When Janie went on a trip with her class she left the house all clean yet when she got back it was a mess. Janie's mom doesn’t do anything to benefit anyone but herself and that is very wrong. However, when Janie got pulled into her dream and saw her mom happy with some guy. I wonder if Janie’s mom had whoever that guy was in her dream back in her life if she would act differently.

    I disagree with Janie's mother. Janie mother doesn't do anything to help and doesn't care about Janie.Her mom sits at home and gets drunk she is lazy. Janie was supposed to get a CAT scan and her mom just sat there not caring if Janie get it or not to see if she was okay. Janie takes care of the house and clean but her mom makes a mess a leaves it.I also disagree with her friend Carrie because she will always leave Janie to talk with Melinda and that's not okay

      i feel like janie would be different if her mom cared about her more because you can tell it made janie feel like she had nobody to talk to, nobody to relay on if she got hurt.with Carrie i feel like she is a good friend because she is always there for her

      I also disagree with Janie's moms actions because it does really seem like she doesn’t care for Janie’s wellbeing at all. She lets Janie basically do whatever she wants whenever she wants without a care. But luckily Janie doesn’t do a bunch of stupid things and actually takes care of herself.

    What became a conflict was Janie and Cabel because Janie could not say what she felt for Cabel then one day they went on a trip with their school and there they lived more then as Janie had very strange dreams.
    Janie kept her roommates she did not want to tell Cabel what she sounded or how it sounded to him, the alphabet sounded romantic, other times she sounded it with sharp knives in her hands.
    So a day when her roommates slept she could see their dreams.
    One was sounding that he had a very funny party while the other girl did not like Janie so much, she dreamig with Cabel very romantic and Janie could see in the dream that she wanted it.
    Then the next day she was serious about what she had seen in the dream

      I don’t think they were much of a conflict, Cable was able to help her on the bus when she told him to not get help he just sat there with her, he was worried but he still waited and didn’t report it happening just like she asked of him.

    the biggest conflict of the book is her falling asleep whenever someone falls asleep. because one time it happened while she was driving and she couldve gotten into a really bad car accident. for example she was trying to bail her friends out of jail and someone fell asleep right by her. she fell and starting bleeding. she tries to figure out why it only happens to her and if it happens to anyone else. sometimes she sees someone elses dream like cabel, and it ends up making her mad and sad. the biggest confclict is that if anyone falls asleep and dreams by her she falls asleep and dreams what they are dreaming of.

    The biggest conflict would be the fact that she falls into other people's dreams when they are near her. This happening to her affects her everyday life, she has fallen into dreams while working, driving, and even doing this with her school. It affected her one time when she was on the bus with her class for a field trip and people would fall asleep on the bus and pull her into their dreams so anyone could’ve seen her fall into the dreams. Luckily Cable was there for her but he was completely lost at what to do to help her.

    The most important conflict is when ever Janie is close to some one who is asleep she will fall in there dream. Its a bad thing because if she's driving and someone is sleep she will fall into there dream she might crash or if she is at work and she is near some one who is sleep she might get fired because shes sleep on the job. she even falls in dream when shes in school this effects her because she isn't learning anything but peoples hopes and dreams.she also can ruin her relationships because she can see what they're dreaming about so she might get mad and break up with them
