We Were Here shows what it is like to feel lonely when you enter a new place. Miguel was sent in to Juvenile Hall and then to a group home. When he entered the group home, most of the people there already knew eachother. When he went there, he was all alone. He knew not one person. He would spend his days writing in his notebook and reading different books. A boy named Mong did not like Miguel when he first got there. Everyone there knew not to mess with Mong but Miguel did not really care. Miguel picked a fight with Mong and that was not a smart thing to do. Miguel was all alone in the group home. No one really cared to get to know him. He would eat outside near no one. People started to think he loved reading because thats all he would do at the group home. Since he knew no one, he thought he could pass time by reading books. He felt alone when he walked in to the group home.

3rd Independent Reading Book:Write a letter to the author or to the main character or to someone you know who should read your book.
I couldn't believe that you were actually able to escape from the group home with Monk and Rondell. Your plan sounded very thought out and like you knew what you were doing.It was probably hard to have to hide from the cops. I can understand why you wanted to get away from the group home. You had a bad time there and you knew that you didn't deserve to be there. It sounded like you needed to keep writing in your notebook. The judge gave it to you so you can be able to express your feelings without having to say them. It was better for you to keep writing in it. The notebook helped you feel a lot better. You haven't seen your father since you were little and you felt like you had to see him and you probably thought you would have a better life with him. I thought you made the right choice in the end.
Sincerely,
Bryan Solis
