Ria was living a charmed life before her dad's plane crash. Before the accident all Ria could think about was her parents divorce and having to move in with her mom and plan to prevent that from happening. In chapter 1 Ria was having the time if her life driving around town with her dad, boyfriend, and and a kid she barely talked to driving in ( what her dad claimed was Elvis Presley's car.) At the beginning of chapter 5 Ria learns that her dad's plane was having mechanical problems and they believed he went down over Lake Muskeg only to find out the rescue team only found bits and pieces of the plane but no luck of her dad. Ria is falling apart and has come to the conclusion that her mother no longer cares about her dad.

                          How The Murder Of Four Teens Started A War  by Patricia Smith

  This article is about three Israeli teens and a palestinian boy being kidnapped and murdered. The names of the three Israeli teens were Eyal Yifrach 19 , Naftali Fraenkel and Gilad Shaar 16. They were found dead after being kidnapped by palestinian militants. Jewish extremists kidnapped and killed Muhammad Abu Khdeir 16 while he waited to pray outside a mosque near his east jerusalem home on the 2nd of july. Muhammad Abu Khdeir was bludgeoned with a wrench and set on fire making his murder most brutal of the four.

     When I first read this article I was shocked to read about these teens who are innocent be killed by militants and their  murders causing a war because when someone gets murdered it’s unheard of to start a war by their religion.
