Notes From The Midnight Driver: Week of 2-17-14

Book: Notes From The Midnight Driver
Author: Jordan Sonnenblick
Prompt: Describe what was either believable or unbelievable about your reading.
Defend your opinion.

        My book is believable. It is believable because it is about a teenager named Alex. First thing is that his parents are divorced. This happens a lot so it makes sense. He is really mad at his Dad who left his Mom. So one day his mom is leaving on a date. She thinks he will be fine. Next Alex is bored at home so a dumb idea comes to mind. He decides to get drunk. He had been drinking a lot. So as you can imagine more stupid things will come when you start drinking.
        His next decision is also very believable. He takes his Mom's keys and decides he is going to storm over to his Dad's house. He thinks he can just drive there. He gets in the car and the next thing you know he blacks out. He wakes up and gets taken to the hospital. His Mom is furious and his Dad is there who at the time he hates. Now he will have a court hearing in a month. His Mom locks him in the house besides school. She will not let him out of her sight because she no longer trust him.
         Then at school the word gets around. One kid starts picking on him. Then something worse happens. His only friend found out and starts yelling at him he feels it is nonstop. Now he is going to court. This is believable because many kids get upset about divorce. Teens make stupid decisions like drinking which this one does. Finally there are a lot of accidents involving teenagers each year. He decides to get into an accident. It is also very realistic for hi mother to get mad at him. All mothers would.

  2. Your book is very believable. Many teens do get drunk and especially if they are dealing with something like their parents divorced. Was there anything in your book that was not believable?
