I have now read to page 200 in the book "Prom". The prom is coming closer, and the prom committee is doing everything they can to pull it off. Then the next disaster hits them. Nat, Ashley's best friend and the leader of the committee, breaks her leg and ends up in a wheelchair. All responsibility is now lying in Ashley's hands and with only one day left before the prom, she has a lot to do.
Ashley has grown as a person through the book. At first, she didn't care about so much more then her boyfriend and family. She didn't care so much for herself either. Ashley didn't think so much about what she wanted in her life. Her boyfriend has bought them an apartment, but she doesn't even know if she wants to move in with him. Her dad is building a new room for her in the basement, but she doesn't want to live at home for so much longer. It is like no one listens to her, and I understand that it makes her frustrated. I think that is a reason why she has stop caring about school. The teachers are always telling her what she has to do, and because she gets to hear that a lot at home, she has just stopped listening. I think that she is tired of hearing what she can or can't do. She wants to decide about her own life.
When she "joined" the prom committee, she got some responsibility. She was allowed to make decisions and she could come with suggestions and ideas. Ashley started to feel like people were listening at her. Thanks to that, she has started to build up a self esteem. I hope this will lead to her starting to tell everyone what she thinks and what she wants with her life.
