QUESTION 1: What is confusing in this book? Why? (Be specific.)
RESPONSE 1: One of the reasons that this book get's a bit confusing, is because the point of view of the characters changes a lot. There are three different perspectives. Although it has a star; *, when it changes, you still need to figure out in who's point of view the story is in. One bit of the book that was confusing before, yet not anymore, was when the 'Duchessa' get's married every year. I figured out later in the book that she get's married to the sea. I still don't know why, but the book mentions that it's a tradition of Belleza.

QUESTION 2: What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?
RESPONSE 2: In this book, one of the main character's name is Arianna. She meets a boy named Lucien; he came from another world. When the Duchessa calls him up to evaluate him, Arianna becomes furious and runs away. I think that Arianna should have stayed instead of leaving. I think that she was wrong to do that because it was only Lucien's first day in Belleza. He could have gotten in trouble, although he didn't. By leaving Lucien, she also left him on his own. He didn't know anything about the town that he was in.
