Always think positive
I put this picture here because Catherine is always thinking about what can go wrong instead of thinking about the good things in life.
The meaning of autism
This is to tell people what autism truly is.
Learning to accept people
I put this beacause this is the theme of the story.
Setting
The setting of the story is in the neighborhood and the hospital.
Plot
Catherine is a 12 year old girl who wants to live a normal life ,but this is imposible since she has a brother with autism and everyone in her family revolves around his disability.catherine makes 2 freinds in this story named david and kristy . These charcaters made a big impact in her life ,and this forced her to ask herself "what is normal"?

The author is talking in first person beacause she uses words like "i" and "we".she is also talking in 3rd person because she uses words her , him ,and them.The author makes the story sound dramatic ,happy,thrilling,and emotinal .she uses words such as sensitive and crude to describe an emotinal and dramatic tone.personaly i felt emotinal when reading this story.
