Character-Massie- Massie is a rich seventh grader who is actually not that nice of a person. He is only kind to his own group and does not include anyone else in his little clique. Massie is the leader of her social group. “Kristen: Do we like her? Massie: No!”(41) This shows that Massie is the leader because her friends do whatever she says. Massie basically decides one day that Claire, the new girl in town, will be her target. He's going to embarrass her and torture her and do whatever he wants to her because Claire doesn't have any friends yet and she's not really the typical girl with all these rich girls. so Maisie convinces her friends to slaughter her along with her. Claire is nothing like Massie, she is not that rich, she is really kind and shy. This shyness doesn't help Claire at all with her problems with Massie. Claire doesn't defend herself alone, so let Massie continue to demolish her. “Do you always meet famous people?” asked Claire. “Does she look the same in real life as on TV? Does she really date Geraldo Rivera?” “That's all for now, Barbara Walters,” Massie said. Claire fell backwards into her seat as if she'd been punched in the stomach. He decided not to say anything more. What was the point?" (44) But one good thing is that Claire shows no effect in what Maisie and her group are doing to her, but this makes the bullying get worse and worse. The main idea in this novel is the problems mainly between Massie and Claire not liking her at all for no reason... and that's important to Massie .The point of view in this novel is third person. This means that the narrator is not set in the action of the novel but tells you how the characters feel, what they are doing and what they say saw the school she was supposed to attend for the next ten months." (47) Instead of saying I opened my eyes wide, the author wrote Claire, so it's in the third person. The author wrote this story in chronological order. This means that the events in the plot are in numerical order or told in the order they happened. “An hour later Massie was sitting next to Isaac, her family's chauffeur, in the plush leather passenger seat of the family Range Rover.” (15) This shows that the authors tell the story in chronological order because it says the word late which is a temporal word and a transition word.
