Mia talked about what she got presents form her family or friends. She explained very details. And then she said “I should have known it was too good to be true. My birthday, I mean.” She thinks this party was too good. Finally she said present of Michael was the best for her. Mia said about her mother’s bad thing. She doesn’t like the part of her grandmother. At the part which Mia’s birthday her grandma brought her dog. And its reason is just if her grandma leaves, her dog will be along.

I think she is very girlish. I know Mia is girl, but her thinking is very pretty, because she always thinks about her boyfriends, Michael. After her birthday party, she every chapter talked about the song which was made by Michael. I’m a girl too, but I couldn’t think about only boyfriends or person who I like. Mia is very virgin. When I read this book, I always thought about it.

Mia became fifteen years old and so she made a plan that she will quit a lot of things, for example, ”Stop biting my nails. Make decent grades. etc” Mia is very impatient about Michael hasn’t invited her to go to the prom yet. Her friends are inviting. She doesn’t have time to prepare. She always prays to God.

I recall that when my birthday is coming, I care that my friends remember, or not. Also I care that my friends give me presents, or not. But it is also my pleasure. But in Mia’s case, she is not enjoyment about it. She became fifteen years old and she thinks she is not young. Her friends look very happy and preparing to go to the prom.

In this story, she became fifteen years old. She got 5 e-mails. The best e-mail is Michael’s one for her, because there is a animation and finally there is words that “Love you”. She was so glad and said “love him” a lot of time. And then she said “Not a girl. Not yet a woman. Just like Britney.” She doesn’t actually feel any different, but she feels she is getting a woman.

I know the song which “I’m Not a girl, Not yet a woman”. I like this song, because lines are very good. “I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. All I need is time A moment that is mine While I'm in between” this is the best I like line. I’m seventeen years old, and so I’m not a girl and not yet woman. I guess all girls think like this line. I guess in the next chapter Mia will try to approach to Michael to be invited, because the prom will be coming soon.

The story is that Mia is still waiting for inviting by Michael. He always hung up with other friends, but didn’t invite her to go to the prom. On April 30, the next day is Mia’s birthday. So she invited Michael the dinner and the party. But she thought that it is not romance, because in the dinner and party, there are her mother, father, grandmother, her boyfriend and his sister. She wants to make party and dinner with only Michael. But she likes her family so she thought that it is not worth. Mia still wants to be invited by Michael to go to the prom and she thinks a lot of time.
This story can be connected with my birthday. When I was a middle school student, my friends said that they planned my B-day party. I was so glad, but every my B-day, I ate dinner with my family. It was kind of rule. So I thought which way would be fan. And then I chose my friends. Therefore, I remember this story, when I was reading this book. I guess that Mia act something like that making message. I mean she will try to be invited by Michael, and so she will approach to him.
