Challenges faced by the Character(s)/information revealed about character(s)


After seven years Josie meets Greg Sims again at McDonalds, where Josie was working. Greg Sims didn't want to pay but Josie made him so after work Greg and his friends ganged up on Josie and Annd. But luckily Jacob Coote was there and he saved them.

Important Quotations


"I wondered for a second where Anna had got such strength from. But it wasn't Anna who was bashing Greg Sim's face on the ground. It was Jacob Coote." (pg 104)
"It's not like the movies where everything seems so gallant and romantic. It's savage and bloody and I cried because I felt that I would never see anything so ugly again." (pg 104)
"The hoods left after that. Slitheres away like snakes more like it." (pg 105)

Personal Response


I think Jacob Coote is very protective over Josephine and he cares a lot about her. He was trying to act before that he didn't like Josie, but at the end he still admitted it.
