Thank you so much for your kind review. As ...Tara:<br /><br />Thank you so much for your kind review. As to Angela Fournier, I will be going deeper into her character and personality in the two sequels. People are not perfect and Angela is no exception, though admitedly she is unusual.<br /><br />I can say a couple of things to explain her. Angela is a strategic thinker. She always asks herself "What is likely to happen?" if present trends continue, if her friends make a certain decision, of if she makes a decision to do A versus B or nothing at all. She feels compelled to think things through before acting. That is why she avoids the self-destructive behaviors most teenagers engage in: she does not want the consequences for herself. She also loves to learn, so being in school keeps her happy. Moreover she is other-centered (as opposed to self-centered) and very affectionate. Such such people are much happier than most. Finally, she is more a perceiving person than a judging one. She's always considering the world and learning. All this keeps her mind too busy to get down on herself or others as much as most of us do at that age.<br /><br />But stay tuned for the sequels. Her kindness will be tested.David A.
