fnished burned

Omg, so I just finished “Burned” by Ellen Hopkins. I liked the book up until page 458, where Pattyn had to go back home. After Pattyn went home, her life went down hill. I felt so sad and angry when I finished. When Pattyn got home, her Father beat her whenever she made a small mistake. Everyone in the house was even more threatened by him. Also, her Mother had the baby boy, which was named Samuel. I felt so bad for everyone in the house; the Father was very abusive and did not care about anyone in the family, except for the new baby boy. Samuel was the first boy of the family, which the Father kept trying to have. Now there are I think seven or eight children in the house. A few weeks into school, Pattyn noticed she had not had her period in seven weeks. She then took a pregnancy test and found out that she was pregnant. She obviously kept the secret from her family, until she could decide how to act. Pattyn and Ethan would call each other durning Pattyn’s lunch at school. When Pattyn told Ethan about the baby, Carmen and Tiffany overheard. They went around and told everyone. So, obviously it got around to her Mother. Pattyn’s Mother did not tell her Father right away, instead she questioned Pattyn about the pregnancy. Anyways, Pattyn and Ethan had a plan to runaway together. Both of them were scared that Pattyn’s Father would hurt them. While they were driving away the cop lights lit up. Pattyn told Ethan to speed up, but Ethan lost control of the car while they were turning a curve in the road. Pattyn woke up in the hospital, She had lost Ethan and the baby. At first when I read that I could not believe it, I had to reread it. Pattyn had to stay in the hospital for a week, and no on in her family visited her. When she got home, her father pretty much disowned her. After the tragic event, Pattyn went crazy. She had a plan that she would kill a list of people that ruined her life. I do not know if she is really going to do it, but anything could happen.
