CONNECTOR

 

            In this section of the story I was able to make a connection with my own life.  The part in the story where Louis is trying to get Serena’s attention and tell her that he loves her reminds me of a time in my life when I was in school.  Louis is unable to express to Serena how he feels so she loses interest and swims away.  Louis felt hurt and discouraged.  How was he ever going to be able to tell Serena he loved her and win her over to become his mate?  I can remember a time in my life when I had a crush on someone, but could not get up the nerve to talk to them.  Unlike Louis, I was able to talk, but because I was so shy I could not manage to speak a word to the person.  I felt rejected and ignored when I could not get their attention.  Like Louis I felt hurt when I could not tell the person I liked how I felt and they were not interested in me.
