In the book Someone Like You, the book is mainly about a friend in need relying on her best friend for almost everything. Scarlett needs Halley pretty much 24/7 for emotional support. I think Sarah Dessen was trying to imply throughout the story that you will always have someone to rely on and lean on.
We all have that one friend that you tell everything to, I mean everything. You secrets, your crushes, what you think about that one person you see everyday in the halls but don't know their name. And since you tell that friend everything, you probably trust them. Since you trust them, you will rely on them whenever you need, and they will be there. I know you're thinking of that one friend right now because they are your best friend and is always there for you. :)
Basically, I think Sarah Dessen tried to imply throughout the video that you always have that one friend who will always be there for you no matter what.

Final Blogging Assessment in English 1B
In my book, Someone Like You the main conflict the struggle Scarlett and
Halley go through with the sudden death of Scarlett's boyfriend, Michael. Not
only did Scarlett lose her boyfriend but has just found out she is carrying his
baby. Leaving Scarlett to face a big set of problems with trying to get help from her family and friends. Scarlett is trying to tell her older sister Marion that Scarlett is pregnant while waiting for Marion's date to arrive. "Scarlett wiped her eyes, started to say something, and then turned and ran out of the room, up the stairs. I heard her bedroom door slam, hard. Marion took a deep breath, composed herself, and went to the front door." Marion is having a trouble of trying to comfort Scarlett, who is carrying a dead mans baby, but also not trying to yell at Scarlett.
Scarlett finds out she is pregnant shortly after she starts her junior year of high school. Halley usally goes to Scarlett whenever she needs her but now the tables have turned. Scarlett is more quite and doesn't open up about her feelings or like to discuss about her feelings to anyone. Ever since the death of Michael, she has been acting different and now with the shocking news, what do you think will happen with Scarlett?
If you happen to be someone who doesn't like to read (like myself) you like to have a visual. Well, you're in luck! Here is a homemade movie trailer from YouTube :

Character Changes throughout the book
Throughout my book, one character that I have noticed has changed. Not drastically but changed enough for me to notice. The character is Halley. In the beginning Halley was very quite and shy and well kept to herself (not very social) like her best friend Scarlett. Halley was always known as "Scarlett's Friend". Scarlett is the deffination of a social butterfly.
A new semester had started in their school so that means new classes, and with new classes comes new students. There is a boy in Halleys PE class named Macon. Their first time meeting each other was very awkward. Halley was yelling at him from a car window when Macon is basically a stranger to her.. awkward! But anyways, Macon and Halley start getting close to each other and talking almost everyday and soon enough they start to date. This is when Halley starts to slighly change. Halley starts to come out of her shell! She's starting to talk to boys (I'm not sure if she did talk to boys or not before but she does now!) And shes now known as "Scarlett's friend and Macon's girlfriend" Also, one day she skips school with Macon, not for any other reason than to pick her best friend up from the doctors. But the worst part is her mom found her outside of school ditching (dun dun duuun).
So far, Halley has changed the most in my book. Things are starting to get interesting in the book and not be so dry, but there are still some dry moments in the book.
