Reader's response #1 for week of March1st-4th

Beastly By: Alex Flinn
30 min. 1-40
3/1/11

I'm reading Beastly once again. you may be wondering if this is the movie about to come and it is!!!! I love how Alex Flinn writes part of her story in a chat room called THE UNEXPECTED CHAT ROOM. Well in this chat room fairy tale characters are seemed to be real are talking about their problems like silent maid (supposedly Ariel), Froggie (supposedly the frog prince), Grizzly guy (supposedly the bear/wolf thing in Rose Red & Snow White) , and last but never the least BeastNYC ( supposedly the beast in beauty & the beast). BeastNYC  has a real name and its Kyle Kingsbury. He is the main character in the story. This is Definitely the modern day version of Beauty & the Beast.  Hence his chat room name he lives in New York City. He is the most popular guy in school even though he is only in 9th grade. Then his week changes when he meets this goth girl in English who said that Kyle was beastly (not how everyones says your beast, she meant it like you have fangs and fur.) So trying to be funny He asked her to the dance planning to break her heart and that is totally where he made he big mistake.
When he shows up with the prettiest girl in school in his arms He finds  Kendra (the goth girl ) in a butt ugly dress (thats what it said in the book) with no expression on her face like she knew that she was about to get stood up. as he went to the dance not caring about what he saw he realized his 'girlfriend' threw a fit because her corsage was not an orchid but a beautiful white rose. Not bothering to throw it away he gave it to the ticket girl whose name was Linda or Lindy.
From this I learn that you shouldn't say things you don't mean otherwise there will be consequences you don't know exist.
