If I Stay by Gayle Forman

I am reading the book, “If I Stay” and so far I have learned that the main character Mia and her family had just gotten into a car accident in the beginning of the book. I am just heading to the middle of the book. In the beginning of the book it was talking about Mia and her brother, Teddy not wanting to go to school and how there was a lot of snow on their lawn. Mia’s mom was watching the news and it said they all schools were closed. So her family decided to go drive around and visit Mia’s grandma. While they were on the rode something terrible happened. It doesn’t tell you in the book but Mia’s dad lost control of the wheel since the snow/ice was slippery. The car flipped over, and killed both of Mia’s parents. Mia is suffering to fight for life and death its only her choice either to stay of to go with her parents. The confusing part is Mia can see everything thats going on around her while still being asleep because somehow she left her body but is still alive. She saw that her brother Teddy is still alive. Right now, I’m at the part in the story where Mia is at the hospital and her boyfriend went to go visit her after he found out the news. Im going to keep reading to find out if Mia decides to stay of go with her parents in another life. 

The point of view in my book “If I stay” is first person. The reason I say this is because the whole story is based on the main character Mia who is fighting for life or death. I know this means it is first person because in the beginning of the story it says that “I can tell dad is happy.” In this sentence it is showing the word I and in other sentences it shows the words “my and me and my ect” this is showing first person. The first person point of view means that the author is writing the book from his/her side. Mia is the author in the book she writing what she feels and what she sees. I am really enjoying my book because I really look up to Mia in this book. I look up to Mia because she just found out her parents are dead and her little brother is barely alive after the accident. She has a choice to stay and keep living or just stop and go with her parents. Mia is thinking about everyone in her life right now, like her boyfriend. She has to make the choice of living or dying and that choice is going to effect everyone in some way.The reason I will keep reading is because I can tell that the character Mia is strong and smart I know she’ll make the choice that is right for everyone in the end either leaving with her parents or staying with everyone else.
