Paige,

If you get this in time, simply take notes on who the main characters are and what the main events and conflicts are.

MR. JANA!!!

I left my battery charger at school and my battery only has 37% battery life and it is draining quickly! i will be able to get most if not all of this assignment done, but if I don't this is my excuse.
