Carson found out that his mom was the one who threw away his acceptance form for college. His mom said she didn't want him to get these big ideas of becoming a writer for the new york times. She said they wouldn't ever happen. She also said life builds you up just to brea you down. After Carson found this out he got in his car and just started driving. He didn't know where he was going, he just drove. He was so shocked about what his mother did. All if his dreams had been crushed. His dream of getting out of clover failed. He drove up the the 'Welcome to Clover' sign with the population on it, and started hitting it with his umbrella. He took all of his anger out on the sign.
I was really shocked when he found out it was his mom. I don't think she should of done that. She ruined his life dreams, just because her life didn't turn out the way she planned it to. I don't know what will happen in the end of the book. Will they make up? Will the school he was dying to go to let him in? i would never be able to forgive my mom for doing that. I don't think he will either. I wonder if the mom regrets doing that.

Post: Struck by Lightning by Chris Colfer. This week I read 81% to 84%.
In Struck by Lightning by Chris Colfer, I am at the part where Carson got called down to the guidance counselor's office to talk about the college he applied to, and needed to get into or his whole life plan of becoming a writer would be ruined. When Carson go to the guidance counselors office he was told he got accepted, but he didn't accept it in time. Carson was confused because he checked the mail everyday and never got letter. After this, he got a call that his grandma in the nursing home down the street had fallen and hurt herself. He went there and met up with is mom, who is divorced and is always drinking.
I think the author put the part in where the grandma fell, to lead up to how he didn't get accepted. I think it has something to do with his mom because she hasn't said anything about his plan so far. I think it might also have been the grandma, who has Alzheimer's. I think the grandma, unknowingly, threw away the letter or opened it and never showed it to Carson. I also think the letter could have gotten lost in the mail or it was never sent, or someone forgot to send it.
