Find Me Conflict

The conflict of this book is that a girl named Tessa Waye is dead. The main character Wick has her own problems to worry about too though. She is afraid she will get caught hacking or that the police will ask her about her dad who escaped prison. Tessa and Wick used to be friends once and now Wick is stuck with a dead girls diary she got from someone. She was asked to find out what happened to Tessa. Wick not only had to worry about that but who the killer was because he was after another victim. Someone who Wick really cared about and tried to keep safe. In the book it says, "I know who owns the diary. The script is a little smoother, but I recognize the fat, curly letters even before I see the name written at the bottom. She used to write it on all my folders. It made my stuff look like it belonged to her. I never minded. I thought it made me look like hers. Like I belonged to her. But I haven't spoken to Tessa Waye since sixth grade, and I seriously doubt she's trying to reconnect now. This doesn't make any sense, and I don't know why I turn another page, but I do and there it is: a single yellow Post-it Note pasted across some random Wednesday mornings entry. It says: FIND ME." This explains how Wick just got Tessa's diary out of no where and didn't know why. She thought Tessa was just giving her the diary to reconnect which she obviously knew wasn't the case. When she saw the post it note she knew there was a problem so she used the diary as her clues to find out what happened to Tessa and who her killer war.

About the Character

     In the book Find Me the main character is named Wicket but people call her Wick. She is a very smart girl with a lot of secrets. She has a really bad attitude and a lot of sarcasm so when it comes to people she doesn't talk very polite. She is very smart actually because she is an expert hacker. She does this for a living to earn money. She is a foster child along with her sister Lily so life hasn't been very easy moving from one family to another. Wick learned to do hacking from her father so she uses that to get money and save herself and her sister in case they never find a family. According to the book it says, "I run online investigations. I specialize in cheating husbands. Yes, it's hacking to crash servers or set loose viruses. And yeah, sure, I do it for a price. I charge for invading some guy's privacy, for looking through his bank records or email files. But Lily and I need the money, and these women—my customers—need answers." This explains how Wick does hacking to not only help people but for the money. She knows it's wrong but she does it to protect her sister she really cares about. She wants her sister to have a good and happy life and not have to worry about ever being let down by people. She is very smart in school but especially since she knows how to hack. She have learned a lot from her father but not good things though.

     

Find Me Compare and Contrast

     In this book I am going to two character named Wick and Griff. These two have some things in common but not everything. One thing they have in common is that both Wick and Griff work for her father to do hacking. In the book it states, "I have to struggle not to gape. It's just not possible. Griff can't be a hacker. He's too quiet. His grades are too good. He's too.... He's too much like me. The realization stings. We're hiding behind the same habits, the same mask. I make my living by looking underneath people's surfaces, and yet I never suspected his." This explains multiply things Griff and Wick have in common. They are similar because they get good grades and are really quiet which is why no one ever suspects them to be "bad" or even hackers. Wick realized how Griff is a lot like her than she thought because they hide the same secrets she didn't even know he had. 

     Other than similarities, Griff and Wick have their differences too. Even though they may both be hackers they do it for different reasons. Wick is like her dad because she does hacking for the wrong reasons while Griff does it for the good reasonsl. In the book is states, "You're not the only one with secrets, Wick.' Griff meets my eyes, and whatever he sees there makes him wince. 'My cousin's a cop. I do undercover work for the police every once in a while.' 'Because they make you?' 'Because I want to.' 'Because they caught you before?' Griff smiles. 'Really blown you away, haven't I?' No. Yes. 'So you're a red hat.' It isn't really a question, but he nods anyway. 'And you know I'm not.' 'Yeah.' I thought we were alike, but we're not. Red hats are good hackers. They protect people, systems, websites. That makes Griff one of the good guys, and I'm still.... Just like my dad." This explains how even though Wick thought she and Griff had many things in common she soon found their differences. Griff helps people and does hacking for the right reasons while Wick still sees herself and the "bad guy" because of her dad. So that was a difference that Wick and Griff had.

🎉New Years Resolution🎉

One New Year's Resolution is to learn and do well for this remaining year of middle school. I will do this by learning, paying attention and doing my homework to keep my grades well. Another resolution is to make the volleyball team in school. I will do this by practicing more to warm up for try outs. I will also try to look in more positive things in 2016 and less negative things. Something I am looking forward to in 2016 is spending time with people who don't have a negative impact in my life and just to have a great year ahead of me.

Find Me

The book I got was Find Me by Romily Bernard. A girl named Wick is an expert hacker and she is given a task by someone to find their sister Tessa who is dead. Wick is trying to find out who this man is and it can be anyone. After reading half the book I can make a prediction about who I might think the killer is. I think it might be the detective Carson. I think it might be him because in the book it showed how he was always around Tessa's house being really nosy. According to the book it says "We've barley reached the steps before I see a low-slung sedan parked on the other side of the street. My chest tightens before my brain even realizes it's Carson. It's too far away to see properly, but I think he nods at me. 'Why's he here?' 'He comes by sometimes.' Tally's hands are pinned behind her back, but she looks ready to run. 'He came by a lot before Tessa... Died. But every time I told my mom, he was gone by the time she came outside." This explains how before Tessa died Carson would always be around her house. Even now after she died he is still looking around her house. He is very strange to Wick and that is why I think he might be the killer.
