  2. “I’d say I’m doing reasonably well, considering I’m being dragged three thousand miles away from all my friends and my school and my aunt Duffy and the house I’ve lived in ever since I was born, three thousand miles away from my mother, and my mother’s grave, where she lies in a cold wooden box under six feet of dirt, just beginning to rot.”page 1 Ruby is being flown to California to live with her father due to her mother’s death. This conflict reveals that she isn’t happy at all, she’s leaving all she’s ever known and moving to this place where she’s met no one including her father. Ruby’s attitude changes completely she doesn’t want to live with her father because she feels he doesn’t care, he was never a part of her life as a child.

  3. “It seems like half the girls are wearing lingerie instead of dresses. And the rest of them are wearing jeans with such major holes in them that you can see their thongs. (Only the skanky girls dressed like that at my old school But here they all do.) And most of the boys look like they’re trying to do Brad Pitt impressions. These kids have perfect hair. Perfect teeth. Perfect bodies. Perfect Skin… I can feel a huge zit blooming on the tip of my nose. It’s flashing on and off like a neon sign.”page 71 Ruby feels out of place at this new school. This is when she starts to feel that going to this school may be more difficult then she thought. She tries to make sure no one realizes Whip is her father.

  4. “Maybe it’s not. Because the most awful thing has happened: ever since Feather said that we had to record our dreams, I haven’t been able to remember a single one. Every morning we sit in a circle, and all the other kids open up their journals and read their dreams aloud so that Feather can help them to interpret them. When it’s my turn, I just blush and mumble, ‘Sorry. I still couldn’t remember any.’ . . . . But it’s almost two weeks now, and that smile of hers is starting to look a little tight around the edges.
