be a main part in the story.

My thoughts on the novel: Just basing on
the chapters i have read i think Sadie
controls the story she just doesn't know it
yet. I think they crows can understand her
and she can understand them the rest of
the story will be very mysterious and have a
lot of meaning behind it but at the same
time it can be confusing.

Something that relates to real life: The local footy reminds
me of the AFL with all the supporting great goals being
kicked awesome marks and the cheering and yelling.
Showing there support for their own team.
