Girl Stolen #2 By April Henry

Last week I wrote about Cheyenne getting kidnapped by Griffin and I inferred that when Griffins father finds out who Cheyenne really is he is going to want to keep her so he can get money or what ever else he wants from her. As I kept reading it turns out that my inference was correct because in the text it said "President Nike, huh?" Roy looked toward the house. We need to think about this a little more. This might change things." From this text I can clearly tell the Roy, Griffins father, is thinking more about whether he should let Cheyenne go or not. From experience, many people with similar situations as Griffin and his father, like kidnapping someone, usually do not let the kid go unless they get money out their parents so they can be set free. Since Cheyenne's father is the president it means he has a lot of money. I think that by the evidence in the text Roy is going to contact Cheyenne's father and ask for money in order to let her go. I will keep on reading and finding more pieces in the text that say Roy will either let Cheyenne go because she's blind, or use her fathers money and then let her go.

As I am reading this book I can see a lot of character traits, especially from the main character Cheyenne. In my opinion I would have to say that Cheyenne is actually really strong, brave and very smart for a sixteen year old girl who is blind. The reason I say this is because when she was kidnapped, she obviously couldn't see anything, so her plan was to use the rest of her senses to know where she is going. I found this really interesting and smart of her because if I was in the same situation, I would have just been freaking about going somewhere I didn't know. In the text it said "Cheyenne knew she had a twenty, two tens, and some ones. The twenty was folded the long way, the ten the story way, and the ones weren't folded at all." This clearly states that Cheyenne had to use her touch sense. I found this really interesting because its a smart trait being able to know where everything is just by touching the object. As the story continues she is still trying to use her senses in order to be free. The more I read the more I find pieces of evidence that show her intelligence.
