Book Circle - Summarizer and Character tracer



Summary


...After they played ”Who am I” Julia gave TJ a letter written in braille that he obviously didn’t understood because he couldn’t read braille. 
He found out that it was a question and said the he will respond later. So he went to the library to find out what it said.
The letter was an invitation for a dinner with Julia. He rode his bike immediately to the  train station due to the letter saying that he must be at the italian restaurant at seven o’clock.
Unfortunately, he was there too late, so he used his bike instead of the train.
The dinner went pretty good. Julia even asked him if he wanted to go bowling at Saturday, but they postponed it because TJ’s friends would be there at Saturday, it could cause a lot of trouble for him if he didn’t postpone it...
So the next Sunday they played and everything went well, TJ also got to know Julia’s friend Eddie. 
That day ended with that TJ didn’t need to pretend to be blind anymore, and everyone lived happily ever after.


Character Trace

Julia

Julia is a girl with black hair and a beautiful smile. She is also very nice and helpful because she helped TJ when he was ”blind”, for example when they went swimming and bowling. She’s also very smart because she knows a lot about blindness and blind people, she even wrote a letter in braille. 
Julia also is kind of playful and sort of mean as she knew that TJ was sighted almost from the beginning when they met but didn’t tell him, so she let him pretend to be blind all the time, even when it wasn’t needed.

He shuffled down the pavement because he was tired after a long day of work. 
That bird gazed at me awkwardly, how weird...
Ouch, an acorn just hit me in the head... stupid tree.
Old people use canes so they can walk properly.
Hey! Chip the ball to me!
I’m lucky that I didn’t lose my sight, or my life... 
He sat down on the bench, started crying and blew his nose in his handkerchief.
