 * Ali- A week one**

Ivy Alisha Tamwood-
A living vampire that works with Rachel at the I.S. and follows her into freelance work. Ivy is six feet tall, elegantly thin, and very pale, with long black hair and an Oriental cast. Ivy struggles with her vampiric nature on a personal level, as well as attempting to keep Rachel from being attacked by fellow vampires. She is bisexual and harbors a deep longing and affection for Rachel. She is deeply devoted to Rachel and Jenks, doing whatever it takes for them, mainly Rachel. Ivy and her younger sister, Erica, are the last generation of living vampires of the Tamwood family, and Ivy has been made a scion of her old master vampire Piscary.

Jenks
A pixy who works with Rachel and Ivy in their freelance business. He often provides the comedy in the novels as well as working as a saboteur, electronics expert, and spy. He is always watching after Rachel, worried about her and Ivy's interactions, as well as the men who come into her life as they usually turn out to be untrustworthy.

"This was insulting. I had been with the I.S. for three years-seven if you counted my four years of clinicals-and here I was, doing intern work." Chap. 1, p. 6 "Ivy possessed both the vamp virus and a soul, caught in the middle ground until she died and became a true undead." Chap. 1, p. 11 "Rumor had it the I.S. had been the one to put the price on his head for breaking his thirty-year contract." Chap. 1, p. 19 "It had been almost forty years since a quarter of humanity died from a mutated virus, the T4 Angel." Chap. 3, p. 37 "It looked like Denon was serious about his death threat. Absolutely swell." Chap. 3, p. 50
 * Ali- B week 2**


 * Ali- Week 3 C**
 * 1) What is so special about Rachel’s personality? What differs her from the rest of the characters?
 * 2) Do you believe that Trent is a human or an inlander?
 * 3) What is the difference between a human and an inlander?
 * 4) Why doesn’t Trent kill Rachel when he has the opportunity to?
 * 5) What are the differences between Rachel and Ivy? How do they conflict?

In this weeks discussion we talked about a lot of major topics. We discussed the conflict between Rachel and Ivy and how it is affecting the story. We discussed the differences between humans and Inlanders. I believe that Trent is a human and Chelsea believes that he is a Inlander. I guess we will have to wait till next week to find out. We ate doughnuts while we talked about the story, at some points we got off topic a little but we always manage to complete our work. We also discussed how this book could relate to our lives and how some of our friends match the personalities of the characters in the story. So far this book is interesting, the ending should be even more interesting though; I am excited to see how everything is going to turn out.

 * Our final reflections of this book are overall good. We enjoyed the story at parts, at some parts it was weird. The ultimate message to the text was good verses evil. The message they were trying to get across is to always do the right thing. I would **** recommend this book to people who are into vampires and make believe characters. Chelsea loves vampires so this book was perfect for her, me on the other hand likes more realistic stories. This book should be considered for the schools curriculum because people who are into vampires and make believe characters would love this story. It has a lot of suspense, so it would definitely keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I do not believe this story would be considered as an "all time classic" because it was good, but not THAT good; although i do believe that people who r into these books may consider it an all time classic but as of now i do not. All in all, this book was not that bad for an english book we had to read. Some parts were slow, but the parts that kept me awake cancelled that out. Overall I enjoyed this story. **
