SETTING Present day Throughout one summer Places that Katy visits or speaks about: Montréal, LA and Madrid - which are all obviously real Since the Rat is in a struggling band I assume that they are lower middle class, they speak English but use a lot of slang. There was also a lot of swearing in this book. Katy didn't like LA, the Rat or Lake at first creating a negative atmosphere, this book gave off a dirty, unorganized mood until the very end when you feel the bond between the Rat and Katy strengthen. Katy stayed in the Rats apartment, occasionally visited Lakes jam space and a couple concerts. She described most of these places as dirty, gross and run down.

Katy is forced into the LA punk scene Has to attend multiple gigs and concerts where she does not fit in Meets characters like Lake and Leo that aren't exactly who she expects them to be THE COMPLICATION

Person vs Environment Katy vs the punk rock lifestyle she is thrown into for 2 months and having to deal with how she doesn't fit in THE COMPLICATION

Person vs Person Katy has problems dealing with her dad, Lake and all the people she meets along the way THE COMPLICATION

Person vs Herself Katy struggles to find where she really belongs, fighting with herself about whether or not she actually likes the music and way of life that her dad shows her when she's in LA THE COMPLICATION

Katy Katy = Negative, introvert, depressed, anti-social, shy, germaphobe, clean freak. Pre-judgemental Clean freak Much like any average teenager Misunderstands other people She is ignored quite frequently Makes situations bad for herself MAIN CHARACTERS

The Rat The Rat = Outgoing, junkie, crazy, lively, dirty, lowlife, friendly, insane. Katys father Takes care of Katy under any circumstances Feels like he owes Katy because he wasn’t there for her when she was growing up Loves punk rock music Crazy middle aged drummer MAIN CHARACTERS

Lake Lake = Frustrated, outgoing, insane, energetic, uncleanly, confident. Dirty and uncleanly Not afraid to express herself in any way Attractive individual Loves music Has her own band MAIN CHARACTERS

Sam Suck Why the Rat couldn’t see Katy often, the introducer of drugs for the Rat. Katy’s mom The person Katy knows the most. A reason for Katy not to not like being in L.A. Leo Showing Katy that you can be used and to introduce an emotional side of Katy to the story. Leticia Katy’s best friend and a reason for the days in L.A. to go by slow. OTHER CHARACTERS

Garth Someone who grows on you no matter how annoying you are. Trixie Someone who looked out for Katy while she was in L.A. Vittorio A reason for Katy’s mom to make another big decision without much of Katy’s say. Auggie Needed someone to take care of him, gave Katy something to do in L.A. OTHER CHARACTERS

The Novels Theme PERTINENT PASSAGES “Why are you ignoring me?” This passage describes a big theme in the book Katy is ignored numerous times throughout the entire book Katy is ignored mostly by the people most important to her The book starts off with Katy being ignored by her mom Katy’s mom ignored Katy and prioritized work

The Protagonists Character PERTINENT PASSAGES “I might be evil. Or irresponsible. Or a witch. I might light candles and say spells. I might have the mark of the devil on me. I don’t but I might.” Trixie asks Katy to babysit Auggie Trixie trusts her right away Katy thinks of possible things she could be

The Central Conflict PERTINENT PASSAGES “He could be The Rat. Sort of. If I squint. I am almost relieved. I could maybe hang with this guy for two and a half weeks. Maybe. I start to make my way toward him. But then someone else catches my eye and my heart sinks.”

“I guess I don’t really like music that much” CONNECTIONS Katy said she didn’t really like music. I used to not enjoy music all that much. Katy likes music more as the book goes on. I have started to really enjoy music myself.
