I think the beat in me is starting to loose some interest?

As you can see from my title, yes! I am getting a little bored from this book now. But it is true that most books have their own moments. At this point, Kyle Kingsbury, the main character now lives in a huge house. The house is quite old but it has its touches. The house is on 5 floors. Magda still works as the maid for the house.

After moving, Kyle stays their for weeks! He bored out of his mind!He watches the same movies all day and doesn't know what to do. His dad was back on the same schedule. He is working late nights and is never home. Sometimes I think that it doesn't really matter if you are rich or poor, as long as you are with your family or the people you love, that is really important. All I can say now is that Kyle can't take it anymore. I mean, he is a beast so he can't control himself. Also, he is a kid! So what happens is that he stands up to his father. He hasn't seen his father for days and he doesn't know what to do. He asks his dad for a tutor. And he asks for many other things. Before that he wasn't a beast, it didn't matter if he was a studious student. But now that he is all alone, he has nothing better to do!

So, one day, a blind man comes in his house. He discovers that it is actually his tutor! His tutor is a blind man and his name is Will. He also has a dog by his side to keep him safe and away from dangerous things. The name of Will's dog is Pilot. I can actually connect this to the actual world because there are blind people everyday all around us in our world. Some of them have dogs to help them get through. There is a special training for that. The dogs help the blind people very much.

So obviously, when Will comes, she doesn't know what Kyles condition actually is so he doesn't react. But strangely, when he tells Will, he has no reaction at all. He believes Kyle but this doesn't matter for him. What matters is Kyle getting tutored. At the beginning, I actually found Will very cold but after you get to know him better, you feel like he is a nice character. A character you can trust deep down. So for the next week, they become very close to each other, They spend so much time together.


One day, Will decides to bring some flowers and grow them. He got the idea from Magda to give him some fresh air. Kyle doesn't go out that much. But the thing that I liked that Magda did is she compared Kyle to a flower. He is always looking out the window. It is like he is looking for the sun she says. Then, Kyle realises that all this time, Magda has been so kind to him even though she got insulted by him. She is always there for him. He then puts the flowers down for her beside the stove in the kitchen.


But when she came to bring my dinner tray, I pretended to be in the bathroom and yelled at her to leave it by the door.
