Hey Nostradamus (pg 3-42)
             In the first chapter of Hey Nostradamus a girl named Cheryl spoke of her life. Cheryl was a high school girl who at a young age was already married in secret to her lover Jason and even pregnant. Cheryl was confused, she believed in God but also wondered why so many bad things would happen. Even though she was confused she still strongly believed deep down in God and would pray. One day her school cafeteria came under attack by 3 students. That was the day Cheryl died, and before her death she began to remember events that had occurred in her life. One such event was the day of her wedding. The crazy ride to Las Vegas and how wrong and at the same time how right it all felt to her.
Cheryl died accepting her death and died wondering if she would be able to see her beloved Jason from the beyond. Cheryl also realized that the world will always be filled with darkness.
                I really enjoyed reading chapter one from Hey Nostradamus! because Cheryl spoke of every moment with so much description. Every story she had to tell was so well described you could imagine yourself there and maybe even being the one telling the story. Also so many of the questions she would ask herself about religion are questions I myself have asked myself hundreds of times. Like if God does exist then why do so many things happen? I myself have come to understand that there will always be bad in this world. Her confusion about religion is something many people must go through everyday which is why it was nice reading Cheryl’s thoughts and feeling.
