Book reflection Chapter 1 of Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson

In my book Ultraviolet, It is about a girl name Alison who wakes up in a mental institution after a fight with the “perfect girl at school” Tori beaugrand. Alison trys to piece back the memories of what happend that night, but all she can remeber is at one moment they were fighting and then the next Tori beaugrand disentegrated into nothing. It makes Alison think that she might be loosing her mind. Alison also has a sensory ability gift that she has kept a secret because of her overbearing mother. A scientist takes interest in her case at the mental institue and Alison soon realizes that she is capable of far more than anyone could imagine.

In chapter 1, it starts of with Alison waking up at what seems like a hospital, but turns out to be a psychiatric hospital. Alison goes back and forth with herself recalling various scattered memories of what happened the night before. There is already some character developent when Alison is having a flash back when Allison was six years old and her sensory abilities first came to her. She describes the flashback as shameful when she ask her mom “so you dont see the stars” when her mother clashed two spons together and her mother replied “”Normal people don’t see things like that”(Andereon,7). Allison then goes on to say that since then with some trial and error she has learned to keep her sensory details a secret. This tells me that she or the character has development from being a care free child to a shameful and secretive teenager.
