Summer blog post #3

A quote that shows how the author hooked the reader is "It's funny how they thought we were dating," Colin said, glancing over her. "How’s that funny?" she asked, holding his gaze. "Um," he said. Distracted from the road, Colin watched as she gave him the slightest version if her inimitable smile." (John Green pg.127). That quote is a great example of hooking potential readers. It makes you want to keep reading because it’s a shocking moment. That is because you really want to find out in the future what happens between Lindsey and Colin. Second Lindsey has a boyfriend so for her to say that it’s not funny that someone said they are dating, means that she would date Colin. Third is that it’s at the end of the chapter, so if you have to go do something else, the sentence will keep you in suspense so then you will want to know what happens next so you keep reading. Another reason that this quote hook’s readers, is that it’s a shocking moment in the book because you weren’t expecting Lindsey to say that since she already has a boyfriend. It’s an unexpected twist at the end of the chapter.
