I finally found out what kind of accident it was!! It was a car accident, and Jenna’s two best friends, Kara and Locke, were killed in it. She looked it up on Mr. Bender’s Netbook because all the information was blocked from her own. It said that she had been the driver, but she hadn’t had a license. She was on a high way going too fast and the car went through the guard rail, rolled down a hill, and exploded, which explains the burns. Jenna felt guilty, and everyone told her it wasn’t her fault. It was just an accident. Something kept telling her that it wasn’t her fault, but it wasn’t an accident. She can’t remember what happened though.

So now I know why it asks “How far would you go to save someone you love?” on the front cover. Personally, I think her parents went too far. Yeah, I understand she’s their only child and they love her so much, but why would anyone want to do that to their kid? She’s never going to age, she has the chance of being found out and who knows what would happen, she can never tell anyone who she really is (even though she already did), she thinks she’s soulless and a freak, she’ll never be able to get married and grow old with someone, and she has to live with the fact that she’ll never be the same or remember her old self. Why would anyone put their child in such a dark, awful place? It’s also not right that she had the opportunity to be saved, but Kara and Locke didn’t. How fair is that? This time, I have to agree with Lily. They should have let go of her and accepted it was over, not turned her into “a monster”.

  1. So really the question shouldn't be "How far would you go to save someone you love?" but rather "How far would you go to avoid being hurt?" Kind of selfish.

  2. Yeah that's what I thought. Jenna's parents weren't thinking of her at all, even though that's what they told her. They were just to afraid to let go.
