Characters
Helen could probably be considered a seeker. She is trying to find a way to fit in with the kids at the Whaler and to help find the real Punk Rock Thrower.
Pinky would be a friend to Helen. He is not really critical to the plot but he is always with her trying to help.
Aunt Stella would definitely be the wicked step mother. She is mean to Helen and her friend Pinky.
Setting
When Helen is chasing after the man in the forest it is very scary. It is also unsafe she gets scraped up and hurt. Helen also loses her locket in the scary forest.
Action
This book would probably have to be a journey. This is because Helen is looking to find the people she is looking for and the type writer. She is doing this to make her life safer and easier, so it is definitely a journey.

100 page Update
It is the day after the accident and Helen is now working on her drawings for the Whaler. When she realizes her locket is gone, Helen believes it fell off when she was running threw the woods. Helen tells Pinky all about the man she saw and he believes her. Later that night Helen was telling her aunt and father about it when the news came on. It said that they had found the Punk Rock Thrower and it was one of her classmates, Stubby Atlas. Helen did not believe this because there was no way that Stubby would be whistling the song she heard in the woods. Helen tells Pinky and he tells her to let it go but at the football game Helen and Pinky hear someone whistling that song. Helen knows it was the same person. Helen and Pinky go and talk to the police the next day. They still don't believe Helen and convince her into believing that she just heard a jogger and that the Stubby case is close. Pink then got a hold of a tip-off note that someone left in a squad car telling them where Stubby was. Helen then takes the note to her teacher, they both think it is very interesting. Helen promises that she will not go into this any further but she still wants to write an article about Stubby for the Whaler.

Reading Interests
I like to read in my free time but only books that are interesting. I usually like books that are funny, scary or books i can relate to. The last book I have read was Eclipse of the Twilight series. I'm now starting on the forth one Breaking Dawn. I thought these books where pretty good i read the first one in two days. I mainly read before I go to bed, when I'm bored or in the car on long road trips.
I can't really remember what books i read when i was in middle school but i remember that i liked books about animals. I have recently read this book called Running With Scissors it was really weird and really had a hard time getting into it at first but then it got kind of good. I also use to like those Gossip Girl books but they are a little crazy. I really like to read in this big comfy chair in my living room.

First Post
I am reading this book called The Man in The Woods for Honors English. The author is Rosemary Wells and was published in 1984.
In the first 50 pages this girl named Helen is starting her first year of high school. Helen went to a small private school and now she is going a very large public school. On her first day Helen locked all of her books in her locker before trying to open her locker. She had a terrible day until she got to her history class and her teacher found a drawing she did. He said that it was really good and should go down to the Whaler, which is the school newspaper. Helen went down the paper but the editor Jerry said that it wasn't that good but she could prove herself with a drawing for an ad. Helen said she would so she went to the paste-up room to learn how to do paste-ups. This is where she meets Pinky, he opens her locker for her and rides the same bus. On their way home Pinky ad Helen are walking together when a car crashes in front of they. they help the women and her child but they think the gas tank is going to catch fire. Pinky and Helen take the woman and child to a house near by but no one is home then Helen sees a man in the woods and she goes after him. She doesn't catch him but she thinks he is the person who has been throwing rocks at cars.
