The Admirer Revealed

Summary

Some days after Maggie’s memorial, Sawyer is at regular school again because her suspension is dismissed. There, she discovers that the police is behind her because they find “evidence” in her locker that frames her as Kevin’s, Mr. Hanson’s and Maggie´s killer (Maggie didn’t commit suicide, she was murdered). Sawyer heads home rapidly and finds Tara, her stepmom, laying in the bathroom floor unconscious. Chloe later apppears and confesses that it was her that had been sending Sawyer notes and had killed her boyfriend, their Spanish teacher and Maggie, because she love her. After some intense events, the police arrives to punish Chloe and find her some help, and an ambulance takes Tara to the hospital.

Quote 1

“She saw the hurt look in Chloe’s eyes and sighed. “She wasn’t very nice, but she didn’t deserve to die.”

A throng of kids pushed through the open door then, separating Logan and Sawyer by a few arm length. Just before the crush Sawyer was sure she had heard Logan mumble the words, “like Kevin.”

She couldn’t shake the chill that rolled through her.” (p. 221)

 

Sawyer’s last suspect of the admirer was Logan because he had sent her flowers, said some strange comments, and his brother stated that Logan had a crush on her. As shown in this quote, Logan didn’t like Kevin so it’s a reason for the reader and Sawyer to believe that he had something to do with his murder. But without enough evidence or proof, Sawyer couldn’t accuse Logan and, at the end, her admirer was Chloe. People shouldn’t blame other people without knowing for sure if he or she was guilty, as Sawyer did; she tried to talk to Logan as she normally did when she saw him.  

Quote 2

“I protect you. But do you see it? No,” she dragged out the word. “Of course not. You never see it because it’s all about Sawyer. Sawyer’s boyfriend. Sawyer’s teacher making a pass at her. Sawyer’s new family. Sawyer, Sawyer, Sawyer.” Chloe stood, “But what about Chloe?” she pointed the knife at herself.” (p. 250)  

When I found out that Chloe was Sawyer’s admirer, I was very surprised because I never thought of her as a suspect. But when I discovered the reason why she was sending Sawyer notes and killing people, I was even more surprised. Chloe said that she was “protecting” her because she loved her, but it was totally the opposite because Sawyer suffered a lot with the notes and the people that were missing in her life. I think Chloe was jealous of Sawyer and misinterpreted what she did, but she definitely took the wrong decisions and turned out to hurt her best friend more than protecting her.

I found this quote which I think is related to this part of the book because Sawyer’s best friend, who she truly trusted, resulted to be the one who betrayed her just to get attention. 

 

 

 

Concusion

I have really enjoyed reading this book because it’s full of mysteries and with an ending I didn’t see coming! I like the author’s form of writing because she doesn’t make you feel bored and when you finish a chapter, she makes you want to read the next one. I would definitely recommend this book for adults and kids 12 years and up. I really hope you liked my summary and text responses for the book “TRULY, MADLY, DEADLY” by Hannah Jayne. Don’t forget to read the blogs for my next book!  

The Consequences of a Fight

Summary

After going to the police office, Sawyer heads to school feeling somehow happy and relieved. As she is taking her things from her locker, Maggie appears and accuses Sawyer of sending her a note were she insulted her. They get into a fight and then are caught by the Principal who decides to suspend both of them. Later on, Sawyer´s father blames her of destroying her future half-sister´s bedroom, and with the news of the suspension, he sends her daughter to the psychologist. At midnight that day, Chloe calls Sawyer and tells her that Maggie committed suicide.

Quote 1

“How do you know what the note said?”

 

Dr. Johnson looked surprised. “Your principal sent me a picture of it.”

 

Sawyer frowned. “May I see it?”

 

The doctor handed over his phone. “Is that the note you sent to Maggie?”

Sawyer read over the note pictured on the screen. The text was the same, but the paper was slightly different. “Principal Chappie had this?” (p. 176)

 

 

 

When Maggie and Sawyer were done fighting and Principal Chappie called Sawyer to his office, she took the note Maggie had shown her from beneath the lockers. This is very strange because if Sawyer was supposed to have the note, then: how did Maggie give the principal a note she didn´t have? Maybe, the “admirer” that sends notes to Sawyer is not only one person, but a group of people that want revenge.

Quote 2

“Olivia swallowed and shook her head slowly. “No, nothing. And the weird thing is, she seemed fine –totally fine that day, that week.” The girl shrugged, a fresh torrent of tears wobbling over her pink cheeks. “She never seemed like anything was bothering her.” (p. 198)

With this being said by Maggie´s sister, Olivia, I infer that Maggie was killed and didn’t commit suicide. For Sawyer, all that is going on continues to not look like a coincidence or just a bad taste prank; things are getting more serious.

Conclusion

 Almost all the people I thought was Kevin´s killer has died or proved to be innocent. The last suspect I have is Logan, a boy that is in love with Sawyer and that was bullied by Kevin. I am enthusiastic to know the real stories about Kevin, Maggie, and Mr. Hanson’s death and to discover their killers. I think that all the events are connected to each other because all these people were related to Sawyer. This story began with just a simple note, and turned out to be more than that…

More than Just a Prank

Summary

After the incident with the peanut oil label, Sawyer decides to go home and relax. The next day after school, Sawyer stays on the track field with Cooper, a good friend, to train for some time. When they finish, Sawyer takes a bath in the girl’s locker room and once she gets out, she finds all her clothes shredded and her locker, spray-painted. Sawyer starts to believe that the bad “pranks” she is receiving, are going out of control so she decides to tell the police about the notes, clothes, peanut oil label and Chloe’s attack.

 

 

Quote 1

 

“Yeah, she convinced herself as she drove the distance to Hawthorne High, it’s just a prank. A stupid, bad-natured prank. I’m not responsible for anything.” (p. 160)

In my point of view, at the moment when Sawyer receives the notes or something bad happens, it seems very shocking, mysterious or dangerous. But after some time, these actions do seem like pranks and this is what Sawyer is realizing. In everyday life, this also happens. We think that something that has happened is very intense at the time but then we see that it’s not that bad. But despite all this, I believe that Sawyer is not just being pranked; something serious is going on.

Quote 2

“Just a prank… The words resonated in her head and seemed to fill her with a modicum of calm. But somewhere, deep down, Sawyer knew the calm wouldn’t last.” (p. 160)

In some point of my life, and I guess that in other people’s life, I have felt the same as Sawyer. We try to convince ourselves that something is ok or is going to be ok when we know it’s not. Maybe we feel calm because of something that has been resolved but then we start to wonder what can happen next.

Conclusion

My prediction for the next chapters is that Sawyer is going to receive new notes and that maybe Chloe is also going to receive them. I’m excited to know who the admirer is so the real story of Kevin’s accident can be revealed. I have noticed that the author in this book uses a lot of descriptive language. She illustrates and shows the characters feelings to better enhance the scene of the book she is writing. I hope you are enjoying my blogs and you look forward to discovering Sawyer’s secrete “admirer.”
