Stargirl, Endings.

I'm still not done, but this is what I want for characters in the novel.
There is a character in the novel, Betty-Lou. She doesn't ever leave her house. I hope she leaves.
Alvina is a very bitter, jaded young adult who hates and has an anger problem. I hope she finds her happiness.
I'd like for Stargirl to have a lot more pebbles in her happy wagon.
Perry- a confused boy who steals and is very outspoken. I want him to stop stealing and be happy with what he has.

Blogging about my blogging

First of all, I really enjoy the blogging. It helps me realize more details about the book that I might not pull away form the text right away. It is helpful to have response too! I enjoy that Dr. Cole finds the time to carefully read and react to each blog post and challenges us to read more into the story, and author, and challenges us on how we feel about whatever we may be reading.
The one thing I do not know if I am doing right is the length of each blog post. They are not too lengthy, and I feel almost self-conscious over. I am not sure if we do have a length/word limit that we have to reach but after every blog post I am sure that I've said pretty much all I had to say and achieved what I wanted to say.  Hopefully I will get some feedback on that, and I won't feel as worried. 
The fun of blogging is getting our feelings out to the world, without having to directly show everyone, "Hey, this is how I feel about this book and these characters and this author." I'm not directly showing anyone, but everyone can find it if they tried hard enough.
