1) I just finished reading ~Part 3~ of A Time for Dancing by Davida Wills Hurwin, I thought that this was a very good book. Even though Julie had cancer, for some reason I was really surprised when Julie died and I was so sad. The end of the book was so sad when Julie was in coma and Sam had to say goodbye to her.  I can't imagine saying goodbye to someone knowing that it was goodbye forever.  Especially someone who was my best friend and that I was that close to, that part was so sad.

 

2)A part in the end that really surprised  me was when Sam said that she saw Jack and Rachel crying at Jules' funeral.  I just thought that that was weird since Jack and Rachel never really seamed to like Jules and Sam , it's sad when people die but I did't expect for Rachel to be crying about it, she even told Sam that she did'nt like her.

 

3)How do you think this is going to affect Rosie's future?

1.I just finished ~Part 2~ of A Time for Dancing by Davida Wills Hurwin. I this part of the book it was mostly about Julie getting her chemo therapy, until the end of the part when Julie told her parents that she wasen't going to do her chemo thrapy anymore. I was vry suprised when Julie told her parents that she was not going to do her chemo therapy anymore. It must of took Julie long time to come to this decision, because now that she is stoping her chemo therapy she put herself at risk that the cancer could get bigger and she will not have the chemo therapy to fight it, so she knowa that she is putting herself at risk of dying. I think that Julie is a very strong person, I don't know if I could make a decision as big as she did.

2. If I was Sam and Julies mom and dad I would be really scared not knowing what is going to happen to Julie next. I doon't even know Julie, Im just reading this book and even Im kind of scared to find out what is going to happen to Julie, I hope nothig bad happens. I can't imagine how this experince is affecting Julies parents and Sam. I can'y wait to read ~Part 3~ to find out what happens to Julie.

3. What was your first reaction when you heard that Julie decided to stop having the chemo therapy?

1. I have just finished ~Part 1~ of A Time for Dancing by Davida Wills Hurwin. There are many characters in this book but the main ones are Juliana (Julie) and Samantha (Sam). Julie and Sam had been best friends forever and they did everything together, but the summer before senior year Julie is diagnosed with cancer. When I was reading the book and found out that Julie was diagnosed with cancer I was not suprised because it already said it on the back cover of the book, so if I was the author I would not tell the readers at the back cover of the book because I had to read like 70 pages before she finally told sus that Julie had cancer.

2. While I was reading this book it made me relize that life is just so un-predicactable. Julie and Sam were making plans for their summer and all of a sudden two weeks later Julie found out that she had cancer. Julie was just a healthy dancer she wasen't like a 60-year-old who had been smokiong his whole life. This book made me relize that AnYtHiNg can happen to anyone at any moment.

3. What do you think is going through Julies dad's mind? In the book it says that he's not being himself.
