Summer Of Fear.

In the book 'Summer Of Fear' Rachel feels like everyones against her, ever since her cousin Julia came to town. Everything Rachel does, she gets let down; like she's not good enough. But, everything Julia does is perfect. I can connect to this because I have four older brothers, and it's hard being compared to them. I can relate to Rachel because I feel ignored sometimes too, or nothing I do is right either. When it was Rachel's birthday, she didn't want to celebrate it; just because the fact that Julia was going to be there. I can admit I do the exact same thing, sometimes when i get so mad at someone in my family, i don't want to do anything with them. Even if it means I can't have fun, I don't want them there.
