Looking for Alibrandi - Chapter 8

Plot summary


Josie hit Carly Bishop in the face because Carly called Josie a wog. They went to see Sister Louise and Ron Bishop, Carly's dad wants to sue Josie. Also Carly was getting on Josie's nerves saying that see didn't have a lawyer and that she didn't have a father. So out of anger Josie told them that she did have a father and she had to call Michael to help her.

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


Carly Bishop is a new character introduced in this chapter. She is a model and her dad is a morning talk show host. Also in this chapter it also tells us that when Josie is in trouble all she thinks of is Michael Andretti and how he can help her. Josie is starting to rely on Michael.

Important Quotations


"God knows what possessed me, but having that science book in my hand propelled me to immediate action. So I hit her with it." (pg 82)
"Yeah sure. My mother's the Virgin Mary and i;m the Immaculate conception." (pg 84)
"I knew how it felt walking alongside one's father. It was a great feeling." (pg 90)

Personal Response


I think that even though u hate a person you can always find something that you like about them. Like how Josie hated Michael but when she is in trouble the first person she rings is him.

  1. Good summary, but in the personal response replace "u" with "you" and in the important quotations, look at the third one and replace "i;m" with "I'm".
