The Torn Skirt (156-199)

Summary
Sara got not only got arrested for being at the wrong place at the wrong time but she was connected to the stabbing of Dirk Wallace, which was the guy that China had stole from in the beginning of the book. He was found dead in a dark alley on June 5 at around 2:35 am, Justine and Sara was both around the area and also Sara had her knife on her so they think that she was the one who stabbed him. What she explained was that she gave Mr. Wallace CPR and then ripped off a piece of her dress and dressed his wound. Justine is still on the lose expect now she is in Greece and Sara is in Juvie because of the stabbed man. The fact that Justine is gone she can finally move on in her life and face her consequences.

Quotation
"Maybe jail is where I belong after all. Maybe not, maybe" (Godfrey 177)

Reaction
I feel as though Sara went from being at home with her father, and her father leaving her by herself and her going off on her own, she still hasn't really grown up yet. I feel as though she is now able to know what the point of extreme was when it came to taking drugs and the things she did with the older men, but she is still confused. Now the end of the book is here, I'm still wondering will Sara ever know what's good for her and figure out what she wants?

  1. what a twist that the torn dress was from helping to stop the bleeding.

    Is is enough to have Justine gone for Sara to begin to mature? Can she do it on her own?
