Caucasia (pg.131-289)

I read a little bit ahead in this section and this section had a lot of stuff going on. I really like how Birdie now has friends. Before she was alone and always with her mother traveling from place to place, but now that they’ve settled in New Hampshire, Birdie has found a group of friends. I feel like Birdie is always trying to figure out who she is. Obviously some people see her as white and some see her as black. Everyone in New Hampshire thinks she’s white and Jewish because of the star of david that she wears. Birdie sometimes feels as though she has become Jesse Goldman in some ways and doesn’t feel like birdie anymore. Nobody even knows her as birdie. I love the little romance that Birdie and Nicholas have. They’re so cute together riding Mr.Sensitive and smoking pot together lol. I was suprised she smoked with him. Maybe I’m going a little too far into the story lol. I’m not really sure where the cut of point is for all of the information. I also like how Nicholas’ family has sort of become birdie’s second family. They let her come over whenever she wants and hang out. This family is definately suspicious of Birdie and her mother and are always talking about them. Birdie is definately afraid that she is gonna give away their secret. I really like this book and I’m curious to see where it goes from here. I hope the family can hopefully get back together and Birdie can become reunited with Cole again.

    I also enjoyed the romance between Birdie and Nicholas. I enjoyed reading those sections and hope things would end out good for them. Birdie was always thinking about him and it was apparent that he had feelings for her. I loved the line at the party where he says “She’s gonna be mine when she’s old enough.” There romance added well to the story and i was always waiting to read more about them. Now that Birdie is running away, i wonder if we will ever hear of Nicholas again or if that is it for the young romance.
