7. SOME OF MY VISUALIZATION Mom unlocked the lobby door, which is iron and glass and must weigh three hundred pounds, and she pushed hard to swing it open, her heels slipping on the tile floor. When we were inside, she leaned against the other side of the door until she heard the click that means the lock has caught. So after dinner we hid our spare key inside the nozzle of the dusty, folded-up fire house in the stairwell. Visualization

8. Part 1 My book begins when Miranda’s Mom makes this game show called, the $20,000 Pyramid. Her Mom doesn’t seem like a traditional mother. For example, she named her daughter after a criminal and was still in bed one morning when Miranda left for school. Her Mom’s boyfriend, Richard, is helping her prepare for the show and Miranda has to take care of herself. Right now the most important thing about Miranda’s life is Sal her best friend she just lost. Part 2 Right now in my book Miranda’s mother has gotten better. Sal was punched on the street by some kid that seems for no reason and after that Miranda starts to get to know the kid but after that punch, Sal is longer friends with Miranda. Miranda starts getting these letters the first one said, M, This is hard. Harder than I expected, even with your help. But I have been practicing, and my preparations go well. I am coming to save your friend’s life, and my own. I ask two favors. First, you must write me a letter. Second, please remember to mention the location of your house key. The trip is a difficult one. I will not be myself when I reach you. Miranda shared this letter with her mom. The second letter said, Miranda: Your letter must tell a story-a true story. You cannot begin now, as most of it has not yet taken place. And even afterward, there is no hurry. But do not wait so long that your memory fades. I require as much detail as you can provide. The trip is a difficult one, and I must ask my favors while my mind is sound. A postscript: I know you have shared my first note. I ask you not to share the others. Please. Do not ask this for myself. The third note said, You will want proof. 3p.m. today: Colin’s knapsack. Christmas Day: Tesser well. April 27th: Studio TV-15. P.S Yawns do serve a purpose. They cool the brain by bringing air high into the nasal passage, which has the effect of increasing alertness. (The third note talked about the yawn because someone said that they don’t serve a purpose earlier in the story). In the third note the person writes Tesser well because on Christmas Day Richard gets Miranda an edition 1 book and he got the author to sign it and it said, Miranda, Tesser well. Madeline L’Engle. Part 3 Part 3 is a secret!!!!!!!!! I can’t tell Summery
