=Going Bovine = By Libba Bray [|Teen Reads]



how he almost died at Disney World at the age of 5. He's 16 now and has a twin sister named Jenna. He is one of the "Stoners" of the school while his sister Jenna is a Cheerleader and dates the football star Chet.Cam doesn't exactly get along with Chet and thinks he's a Douche. Cam mostly hangs out in the 4th floor bathroom with the stoners. His Dad is a teacher at the college and thinks Cameron should get all A's in school, But of course he doesn't. He often misses work and his Dad thinks he needs to learn responsibility. || I predict Cameron will end up getting in a lot of trouble for smoking and fired for missing to much work. I was surprised when Jenna and Cameron were mean to each other cause twins mostly get along. I wonder why Cam doesn't like Chet. I think this setting is important because it explains a lot about his life and what he does. ||
 * || **SUMMARY** || **INTERACTION** ||
 * 11-3-10 Chapters: 1-5 || Cameron or Cam introduced himself by telling the story of

Chapters: 6-10 || Cameron's Mom tries to wake him up to mow the lawn because he promised his Dad he would. Cameron oversleeps and can't mow the lawn because he'll be late to work.He finds a feather on his way out. The feather's pink and says Hello on it.Cam ends up late to work and spills a costumers order on her due to his arm shaking to much and gets fired from his job at Buddha Burger. Cameron's Dad wants to go out to dinner at Luigi's with the family but, Jenna is going to the movies with some friends so Cam decides to bail also. Later on their Dad demands they. So they go out to eat and Jenna mentions a Ski trip she would like to attend with Chet and his Church. Their Dad second guesses the idea due to the cost. So Jenna mentions how she Could use her college savings which ended it in a direct NO. || I dislike their Dad because he doesn't seem to care about what they need or want. It's all his choices. This scene reminds me of a similar scene in a T.V. because show where the girl asks for money but her Dad doesn't think deserves it so he cuts her off. I noticed Jenna only really has something to do with everyone when she needs/wants something. I wonder why Jenna seems to get away with more then Cameron. ||

Chapters: 41-46 || Cameron has now ran away from the hospital he was in. He is staying a hotel by the beach with a talking gnome and his dwarf friend. He runs into his sister who greets him with a hug. They discuss why he ran away and she explains how she has to tell their parents. But she says she'll give him a head start. He goes looking for his friend and runs into a girl named Staci from his school. They end up hooking up and she leaves in a very drunken manner. || I really don't understand the part where him and Staci hooks up cause afterwards some other girl shows up. I began to think of when teenagers sleep around with each other. I think Cameron is more confused by the way things have played out then anything. I wish that Cameron and Jenna would talk about what's happened. || Chapters: 47-51 || Cameron wakes up the next morning realizing he needs to leave right way. He packs his things wake up his friends and they hit the road. He's trying to out run the cops since his sister is calling their parents to check in with them. She promised him a head start. He's driving and old beat up car that's covered in dust with "Wash Me." written on the back window. He wishes it had more dust on the windows since every cop is probably looking for his car right now. || I don't understand why he's running from help. I began to think of a kid from orangefield who snuck out with some friends and ran from the cops but it ended in a wreck and him breaking every bone in his back. I think the relationship between Him and Jenna is interesting because they don't get along but she let him have a head start. My favorite character is Cameron because he seems to understand what could happen but still pushes forward. ||
