Uninvited by Amanda Marrone

Some Spoilers


Protagonist:

Jordan has more of a neutral personality. Even though her actions are strong, she goes along with her actions and their consequences.  Jordan is trying to sort out the things that happened with Michael. She had split up with him and then he died a couple of months alter. Jordan’s reaction wasn’t so pleasing either. I think it is best if Jordan began sorting out her problems first, before getting wasted or smoking a joint. She has to try to work out things with her family and then her close ones. Then, she will have the power to confront Michael and tell him to leave.

Jordan has the decision of letting Michael inside. However, when Jordan invited Michael in it was too late. He had other plans for her. She was risking her life and Lisa’s life. I think that maybe if Jordan had chosen Michael’s need over her selfish isolation, maybe she could have convinced Michael to leave, rather than for him to bite her. Jordan had rejected Michael which could have triggered Michael to unleash his anger towards Jordan.

I think the only reason Michael had come back to Jordan was because she had been closest to her. Michael had been with almost half the student body. He was clever enough to know who was weak and what their weak points were. Thinking more about it, it would be a possibility that Michael only went to Jordan; because he knew she would have the weakest link to restrain herself from letting Michael in. She was going to give in, one way or another. Jordan thought if she let Michael in, maybe all her problems would end.

She didn’t understand what Michael truly wanted. Michael wanted revenge for Jordan rejecting him. He knew ah once Jordan gave in, she would beg for him to come inside, into her house, being the only thing to save her from her miserable and pitiful life. She should have continued and ignored him until he left, or confront him and let him inside the first time he had appeared. Things could have been differently between Michael and Jordan; Jordan could have restarted the old friendship she had had with Lisa.
