RESPONSE:
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.

2. I agree with you when you said how life is truly unpredictable, how everything in their life change so fast and that you really need to be thankful for everyday that you have with the people that make you love and make you happy.
3. I think that he is thinking how could his little brave, strong girl have this horrible thing growing inside her. How could something this horrible happen to him and his family. I think that he is also not being himself because he is scared to show how scared he really is, I also think that he is still in a little shocked and thinks that this is just one big bad nightmare, only he can't wake up.
3) I agree with what Rachel had posted, especially where she said, "How could something this horrible happen to him and his family". Her dad is probably very scared for Jules and if I was in his position I would feel the same.
