Kira-Kira paragraph 2

In the book Kira- Kira, the main character is Katie Takeshima, and I think that she is in some ways like me. She is kind of like me because she has a little temper. One night she and her little brother Sammy were sleeping in the living room, and Katie wakes up to find her older sister Lynn curled up on the couch. She tells Katie that Amber, her best friend, just dropped her as a friend. She said she didn’t care, but Katie could tell Lynn had been crying. The next day at school, Lynn is home sick, but Katie sees Amber with a group of friends. Amber makes fun of Katie’s clothes and her friends laugh. Then Katie balled up her right hand and punched Amber right in the face!
Even though she can have a temper sometimes, Katie is usually a very gentle and caring person. In the middle of the book, Katie’s parents went out and bought a new house that Lynn got to pick out. Lynn picked one on the first day of looking, and she chose a sky blue one. Lynn and Katie had to share a room and both new which side of the room was best; the side that was facing the big Magnolia tree in the neighboring yard. Both of them wanted the good side, but neither wanted to be rude, so they flipped a coin. Lynn guesses tails and it was heads, so Katie got to pick her side first. She wanted Lynn to be happy so she could be healthy again, so Katie chose the other side, even though she really wanted the pretty side.
Even though I would’ve handled some situations differently, I think Katie is mostly like me. Maybe that’s why I found this book so interesting.
