Every Day, Overview(3)
In my book now, news from Rhiannon has come. The spirit logs onto Justin's email and reads an email from Rhiannon saying that she doesn't understand. Justin is mad at her again and she said that this night didn't end on a good note. This bothers the spirit so much because it just wants Rhiannon and can't stand that Justin isn't treating her right. On a new note, I am becoming really excited for each chapter because its in a new body and setting with new characters and such. Today the spirit is Skylar, a soccer player 4 hours away from Rhiannon. Also something cool I've noticed about the chapters is that each chapter is how many days it's been alive. So right now its day 5996. I'm really interested to see what day it will end on if it even ends. How can there be an end to a book with something that never dies? This has been my big question reading so far.

Every Day, Analysis
I'm still sticking with my prediction that the spirit will go find Rhiannon. My support comes from page 41 which says, "I know I should be focusing on the matter at hand, but I can't help but think of Rhiannon. School's over for her, too. Is she hanging out with Justin? If so, is he treating her well? Did anything about yestereday rub off on him? I hope, but never expect." In this situation, the spirit is going through a lot in the body it's in now and since he now can't go through it without thinking of Rhiannon, how is he supposed to go on at all?

Every Day(Overview 2)
I am still loving my book. It is so cool to see the different perspectives and learn a new lesson from each point of view. What I've been thinking about is if every chapter will be a new character because as of now, that's what it is. I'm still waiting to see if the spirit will try to find Rhiannon because all it does so far is think about her, a lot. I really hope it does find her, but what will it do when it does? It's a different person every day so how would that work? That's another big question I've had reading through the book so far. I also keep getting confused because I have to call the spirit "it" since it is neither a girl or boy. Hopefully this might be cleared up or discussed so it might be a little easier to understand and make predictions, connections, etc.
Every Day, Characters
There are a lot of characters in Every Day so far. The main characters in the beginning of the book were Justin and Rhiannon and now the main characters are Leslie and Owen. The main character is present but confusing. It's the spirit, the one who is constantly someone else. It doesn't have a name and isn't just one person. It has its own qualities and traits but has to act like a new person everyday. When it is in love, everything starts to change. Each person it interacts with changes his point of view and maybe even a trait. He got some traits from Justin and now is in a tough situation in Leslie's life with Owen, which also deals with love. He's learning and loving more and more every day.

Every Day(Overview 1)
So far, I love my book, Every Day by David Levithan. It really puts your mind to work, imagining the different settings and imagining the different personalities of the people he's in. Sometimes I get confused because I get used to one character then have to switch to another. I recently figured out too that the person is neither a girl or a guy, just a spirit I guess, which is really hard to understand sometimes too. He still hasn't tried to contact Rhiannon yet, so I wonder if he will do so or not, and if so, how? I can't wait to continue reading the book and the new characters and settings!

Every Day by David Levithan
In my novel, there is a boy. Every day he wakes up as someone else, the same age as him, but always in a different body. He doesn't try to do anything risky, because it can greatly affect the person's life. But this time he can't help it, he's falling in love. He's falling in love with today's body's girlfriend, Rhiannon. He trys to stop himself from acting like his true self, and trys to act like Justin, the body he's in, but it's not working. Justin is truly in love with Rhiannon so I predict every day he will find her, whatever body he is in, he will find a way so they can be together. What I don't know is when he will tell her that he is not actually Justin. That he wakes up in a different body everyday, and today that happened to be Justin. The bigger question is if he actually will tell her. Or if he'll keep it a secret then live the rest of his life like he always has, and not tell her at all. Although Rhiannon and him are perfect for each other, they probably will never be able to truly be with each other. This applies with life. Although you might really truly want something, maybe something you don't need you can't always have it. The love story that is happening right now reminds me of The Notebook. In both, the love they have seems to have trouble, but they try to work it out. The book relates to me because I try to keep going and never give up. I believe Justin won't give up on Rhiannon, he will do what it takes and thats how I want to live my life. If the going gets rough, just keep going, never give up.
