Send by Patty Blount

This week, I read the book SEND by Patty Blount.  It was about a 18 yr old boy named Ken who posted something ver harsh online about a classmate and caused a death and cost him time in juvie.  Now Ken wants to forget about his past and focus on his present.  He wants to start at a new high school, with a new name, with a new reputation.  On the first day of school "Dan" breaks up a fight and gains himself one enemy and one friend.  Then Dan meats Julie and despite his promises to himself and his inner conscience ( who makes an appearance through out the book and is known as Ken)  Julie acts like she doesn't like Dan but soon after, they find themselves in a scandalous relationship. Dan keeps telling himself it's wrong but Ken keep saying it's right.
At the end of the story Dan tells Julie who he is causing julie to hate him for a little and then when she finds out Dan is in danger, she goes to protect him.
I think that in the book Dan feels like a horrible person because since he bullied that boy, everyone is looking on him like he is an mean and horrible person but through out the story Dan does little things that make me realize he is not a bad person.
One thing he did was when a little girl fell and was about to get hit by a car, he ran ahead of the mom (who was pregnant and unable to run quickly to aid the child) and scooped up the little girl and then he bought her ice cream. In the story, while he was running, you hear what he was thinking. He was thinking about how Julie was watching him (she appeared just as he was getting ready to leave and they have yet begun to talk) and he was also thinking how the court did not want him to touch or be alone to anyone under the age of 18.
Another thing that Dan did was that he always was nice to Brandon even when Brandon was mad at Dan.  Dan even stood up for Brandon when he was being bullied.
All in all, even though Dan would reflect on his inner self and regret the things he did and how much of a bad person he was I would think that he really isn't that much of a bad person, because of these nice things he would do that he didn't think mattered. I think juvie changed Dan, whether it was for good or bad.
