Blog 5: Lost Girl - Summary and POV

The main character in Lost Girl is Cheyenne. She's blind and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. When her step mom left Cheyene laying down in there Escalade while she went to buy medicine for Cheyene's cold. A man named Griffin decided to steel the Escalade and didn't realize that someone was in it. So now a blind girl that's the daughter of Nike's President has been kidnapped. Now Griffin and his Dad are trying to figure out what to do with her. They decide there going to give her back but Cheyenne wonders if they will give her back safely.

The point of view in Lost Girl is third person. This is different then most books I read. It is different because the narrator know everything about both characters. I know it is third person because the book doesn't use I. It always uses name or she did this or something like that. I kind've like the idea that the narrator isn't the main character. I feel it gives a better perspective.

Tolerance: The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence or practice of something in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

Tolerance to me means to accept others the way they are.  I believe that even though some people believe other things or are different they can still be accepted.
