Reading Blog #6 Blackbox by Julie Schumacher

          Blackbox is a realistic fiction story about a 14 year old girl named Elena who has a sister named Dora that was hospitalized and sent to an illness ward due to depression. Elena finds herself dealing with problems throughout the story because everyone is is it focused on Dora but once Dora gets out of the ward, Elena begins to only focus on Dora.

          I like this story so far because it shows how Elena really is trying out do whatever she can in her power to make sure that Dora is okay and safe. Even if it's little things, she still tries. Like when Dora was in the hospital, Elena, "brought Dora's favorite pajama pants and a sweatshirt that said 'IOWA SURF CLUB'(...)". This is showing how by bringing what Dora really liked that she cared about Dora and that was the most she could do at them moment. This is how any other family should be though. Helping family out in the hard times. Even if it something little, it doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts. You've at least tried.
