Dear Friend...


Dear Charlotte,


Hi my name is Jocelyn Velazquez, I'm 14 and I'm an 8th grader. I go to Richard Merkin Middle School. Its really small compared to yours. We don't have a auditorium, we use the gym as an auditorium. our school is a charter school, so that means we don't have tracks, I don't no your school if its a charter or not.What I want to know about you is what is your favorite color?What is your favorite color? Whats your favorite food? What did you wanted to be when you grow up? What is you main goal in life?Well my favorite color is black. My favorite food is pizza and my main goal in life is to become a vetenarian and to not give up no matter what happens. What i like about you is that you don't give up. You would continue even though your dead, you will still continue to get what you want. Many people wouldn't do that. They would just give up. I really like how you were obsessed with Damen. What i would do would be to let him go and move on. It was really sad on how you left and let Skarlet be with Damen. It was really nice of you to do that. I also like the part when you switched bodies with her just to talk to Damen. He would get so confuse when you got to your own body, and skarlet to her's. If i was in your shoes i would do the same thing, but like i said i would do is to let him go. You choked on a gummy bear; it was kinda funny but sad at the same time because nobody likes the feeling of being choked. And by that you died... I really got mad on how Petula and her friends started to say not very nice things about you. But it was really awsome on how skarlet understands you, about your feelings about Damen. I wish i went to your school, i would be your friend. i think your very funny. i would understand your problems. i would be that friend that would always be there. i would have a clean nice shoulder for you to cry on every single time you feel like crying and to let go. I really think your awsome, a good thing to do when you have those sad feelings about Damen is to tell yourself that your beautiful. Because god gave you perfect shoes for you to be yourself and not to be anyone else. I ask myself that, hope it helps for you. Wow i still cant believe the life that you went through. i really feel sorry about that. i wonder how death feels. Charlotte do you ever dream?... if you do about what?Sometimes i dream me being a super hero. i would be flying above the clouds up high in the sky. Its funny about the things i dream; really its really random. Some times i dream that dinosaurs taking over the world; I'm serious i woked up all sweaty.

Setting



The setting of this book was at a high school, big and full and students crowding each other. The school has two floors, and a big Campus. The campus has a big waterfall, that students usually sit around. Another setting is the cafeteria. The cafeteria was huge, there are alot of long tables and every time when its lunch or nutrition it would be crowed of students. Also in the cafeteria lot of people would talk,like Petula. She is the most popular girl in the school and usually she would stand on the table and tell other people how she is important. Also the meeting table that the dead students would have there meetings in. There is a big green round table in the middle of the room. About 26 dead student would sit around it talking about other people and how to make there school more scarier. They also talk talk about helping there school, because there school was almost taken away.Another place is the room in school that is underground that Charlotte,Skarlet, and Damen would hang out. It was a small not that dark room. It wasn't that clean also, so there was a little bit of dust every where.There was a small little bed and a shelf; almost like a room.In that little room Charlotte would be in Skarlets body and she would tutor him on physics. But since Damen didn't know that it was Charlotte's body so Damen would always try to change the subject and started to like Skarlet.There was long stairs to walk up to school. Another setting that tooked place in school was the ball dance. The ball dance tooked place in the auditorium.The auditorium is big and when the party was starting the auditorium turned dark and the lights were going everywhere. The music was loud and the students were dressed nice and started to dance on the dance floor.

Ghost girl


My book was about a girl named Charlotte Usher. It was the beginning of school at Hawthorne high.She was those types of girls that are very shy. Right in the begging of school she felt like she was in visible. Days past in school and Charlotte died. She died by choking on a gummy bear. She didn't know she was dead yet. Till she arrive to the office that only dead people can be, and there she found out tha she was dead. Charlotte didn't no what to do. She wanted to stalk Damen Dylan. Damen was the guy that charlotte likes. The office lady told her that she still needed to go to school even though she is dead. When she arrived she met new students that also died in the school. She also had met her first enemy. Charlotte would sneak out during nutrition or in lunch. She visited Petulas house. Petula was the girl that goes out with Damen. She's also the girl that never liked Charlotte. Charlotte visited her because she knew that Damen would be there.
When she arrived she just sat on the bed and waited. When Damen arrived she started to grab his attention. She would do something in the mirror. But she knew that she couldn't do anything for him to see her. When Damen started kissing Petula and Charlotte didn't wanted to see it. That's how she met Sckarlet. Sckarlet was the only person that could see her, they became friends and would swich bodies. When Charlotte switched body with Skarlet she would flirt with Damen. Later Skarlet stared to like Damen and Charlotte was incomfortable with it. Skarlet and Charlotte would always get in arguments about Damen, but later they would become freinds again. In the end of the book they had a big ball party. Skarlet arrived and Damen broked up with Petula. He asked out Skarlet and she said yes. While the party was going on Petula arrived and had brought a huge turbo tanner. She was really aiming Skarlet, but it caught Charlotte. When the spray touched her, everybody could see her. Everybody was so amazed yet not scared. Charlotte was surprise that Tann spray can make someone see you. Skarlet told Damen everything that it was both her and Charlotte was being with him. Damen kissed Charlotte on the cheek. Charlotte told Skarlet that she wish will be happy. Skarlet and Damen started to dance and Charlotte left and she found out that its better like this and it feels right.
