In my opinion, they are all Cadence's imagination because many details in the book shows us that they are only exist in where Cadence shows up. However, many people say that they are ghost and only Cadence can see them. I believe that they are not ghost. For example, " The liars don't come to the dock when we pull in, and neither do Aunt Bess and Grandad" (Lockhart 65). As we all know, Gat, Johnny and Mirren are all her best friends, so they would love to welcome Cadence to come back. However, they didn't; if they are ghost, Cadence should saw them, so the truth is that they are all her imagination. Another example, " I open the laptop. Do a search and find all the notes addressed to her" (Lockhart 187). If they are all ghost, they should be able to open the email, but the truth is that Cadence opened the email by herself read by herself. I also find out that Mirren, Gat and Johnny always repeat what Cadence's mother told Cadence which means they don't have all the information either and they don't have their individual thought. Hat they told Cadence is what Cadence is trying to tell herself.

What was burned?
We had made so many hypotheses in class, and we also had some part that is correct. For example, we all considered that Johnny, Mirren and Gat was died at summer 15, so the ending did not make me surprised, but it did make me to think. To think what is the right to do and how money changed the way people consider things.
This book is most about how Cadence realized that what her grand dad did is not correct, and she was trying to change the way of how the family live. They are the one of the richest family in the world, but all those good resource did not make this family a happy family. Everyone in this family is being unhappy, worried and nervous. They consider that the only happy thing is the money, and their biggest goal is grandad's all money. However, after the fire, all the people in the family started to be nice to each other, and they starts to realize that there are so many thing could make them feel happy. I am keep asking my self. Did the fire really changed the family that much? I still don't have a clear answer, but there is one thing I believe. It is that all of the family members find out the relationships between people and love is much more important than money. We cannot say that this family is not a good family because no one can be completely calm and peaceful in front of a huge amount of money; however, we should always remember that people are not living for money, they are living to enjoy their time with people, every little touchable moments and love.
I like this book and this ending because it makes people to consider themselves and what they did. Sinclair family might be a story, but there are always stories like this going on. I want to say that we should be happy for what we have now, and we should always discover our own happiness from life experience but not from pieces of papers.</span>

Review
We know Cadence and other Liars set a fire on the beechwood island when all the other people were not on the island. Then we know why Gat feels like he is a outstander because granddad use every chance to remaind him he is not part of Sinclair. We also know what happened between Carrie and Penny during the night in summer fifteen, and also how granddad threat others.

Notes 16 to 25
From chapter 16 to chapter 25, they are most about after Cadence’s accident she tried to find her memories back, she wants to see Gats and Liars on Beechwood iland again. In chapter 16 she talkes about the book her dad bought her, and she tells a story about how three princesses think about love and I think this story relect how she thinks about love.
Chapter 17 and 18 is about how she trys to find her memories. For example, asking her mom everyday.
Chapter 19 is about how her granddad changes her dad’s Australia trip for summer 17 to the Beachwood iland trip, and she says that she loves her granddad but she doesn’t like him.
Chapter 20 is a very interesting chapter because it asked a quustion about the story, and I think that she is thinking about that question a lot.
Chapter 21 and 22 is about her complex emotion aboiut Gat and also the difference her family trade her.
Chapter 23, 24 and 25 is allabout when she went back to the iland again how people react and how people changes. We can see a lot of difference than before. For example, Liars made the decision before Cadence came and they all thinks she is not apart of them like before because she has different hair and she looks sick.
