Chapter 4 - Catalyst
Please post your comments on Chapter 4 of the Catalyst here. Remember to have atleast 100 words on your blog entry for it to count.
This chapter is about the nightmare Kate dream. When she wakes up, she was scared, because of the nightmare she dreams. The nightmare is about the Mommy come close to her and scared her and she shout. What is nightmares???? I don’t know because I didn’t even dream nightmare. So that is why I don’t get her feeling. Sometimes my brother dream nightmare and after he is awake from nightmares, he is looking for mom. If my mom said “don’t worry, It’s ok” he is sleeping again. If I saw that I’m so proud of my mom and I think my brother is cute.
I feel sorry for Kate, it’s like she can’t run her life because everyone around her is doing it for her. Kate’s dad seems to care more about other people’s life than his own. I hope Kate gets into a college that is as good as MIT. When Mitch (Kate’s Bf) tries to comfort her, she always seems to push him away even when he tries his best to help her. Kate shouldn’t be like that, If I was in her situation and my boyfriend was offering me comfort, I’d run into his arms in a sec. I think Teri is a psycho, she steals too much and she plays stupid pranks, like decking with the car because she thinks the police were going to go after her. I really feel sorry for Kate, I hope in the end she’s figures how to deal with her problems. In the end of chapter 4, Kate and Teri make amends, so I guess things are going to slowly work its way back to their normal routes.
Kate is having such a hard time... She takes care of the Teris and Kate's..(her) own family. She is already shocked by the university's rejection toward her..And for the worse, she tries to work every thing by herself without telling her friends..what the problems are. She tries to deal with (devil) Teri who is very crude, warlike, and hot-tempered. I feel sorry and bad for Kate because there are too much stresses and..she does not know how to release them.
Mikey’s poop made Kate realize it wasn’t a dream after all. I wonder how the hell did the diaper exploded, LOL. I think Kate finally gets it in her head that Teri is going to be staying with her for quite a while. I would be angry too if I let my enemy sleep right next to me. I like it though that she isn’t that snobbish and tries to keep her cool. She drives Teri and Mikey around and even buys them food. Although even that doesn’t seem to make Teri appreciate Kate’s effort. I guess it was because her father was an abusive man; she is what she is now. I think Kate is doing a good job so far, keeping her cool, and even suggesting Teri becomes the contractor.
Wow,, Kate is really having a hard life… MIT is enough stress for her, but since Teri is staying her house for a while, Kate must be stressed out. I know how much she hates Teri, because in previous chapter Teri stole Kate’s watch which is from her mother. I’m not sure Teri stole her watch, but still I know Kate don’t like Teri. Now Kate has to eat, sleep, and go to school together. I understand if Teri is a nice girl, but it seems like Teri doesn’t care about Kate’s efforts to her. I wish Kate can teach her some lesson Teri is so rude.
This chapter dealt with Kate having hardship. Her father seemed to help everyone out so much, that he forgets to help himself too. It shows how much Kate dislikes Teri in this chapter, but I guess shes going to have do deal with it, since Teri is going to be living with her now. It must really suck to her. If I were her, I would wish I was dreaming. They gotta do everything together now.. But obviously, Kate still dislikes Teri. I dont blame her... Teri is a theif, prankster, bully etc!. She does not appreciate anything. Its not really her fault though, I kind of blame her father for being abusive. Learning starts at home. Shes probably just following in his foot steps.
While reading this chapter, I felt really bad for Kate. She is under a lot of stress and she won’t talk to anyone about it. She’s doing everything all by herself and no one will help her. I also feel bad for Mitch, Kate’s boyfriend; because he is really trying to talk to Kate and comfort her, but all she does is push him away even more. If I were Kate, I would appreciate what he’s trying to do. I really don’t like Teri. She likes to steal and doesn’t even show that she’s thankful for staying at the Malone’s home. She just gives too much attitude, and I think that she needs to calm down.
I feel so bad for Kate.her dad really cares much for other people and about other situations that include everyone else, but him yes, its a good thing but at times, it isnt.Kate has a boy friend, who tries he's very best to comfort her, but my question is why does Kate push him off?boy, if i was her id take it for granted.its nice having someone there by your side to support you all the way through.Teri in my opinion is a stealer.i dislike stealers she does so much joking around and that is okay for a once in a while thing, but if its always theres a problem.
Chapter 4 I think this chapter is going to be about camping somewhere or something is happening in the house well that’s what I think the chapter is going to be about
In the chapter 3 it is about the dream of Kate,and about Kate with her familyship. Kate was love her family, so she always hard to take care of her family,even her knows, but, yes, i like this kind of her. she was so strong, because she always to work everything by herself. Always proud of her, a specially girl.
In chapter four, Kate is trying to avoid every single person that knows about her getting rejected from the school she has always wanted to go to. Sara, Travis, and Mitch find her in the grocery store and were planning on kidnapping her because they know that she is depressed. Friends like what Kate has are great in crises. Especially when the only school you applied to rejected you and your enemy has moved into your house. Although her boyfriend isn’t being very supportive, if he is just trying to put her down then he shouldn’t even be talking to her.
