Lock and Key

Author's Note: This piece is for on of my assignments in my Writing Lab. I don't really have much to say about it other than it's about the conflict of the book Lock and Key and what leads up to the conflict. Other than that enjoy.

 Book: Lock and Key

 An abusive and not stable mother leaves her 17 year old daughter  Ruby to live alone. Ruby has to stay with her older sister Cora and her husband Jamie, Jamie is the creator of a famous website called UME.com. Ruby was going to run away on the first night but got caught by the neighbor and Jamie. Nate the next door neighbor offers to help Ruby but Ruby doesn’t want to get to close. In the end Ruby excepts that she has to stay where she is because it’s for the better and her and Nate become girlfriend and boyfriend.

The cause of Ruby going to live at Cora’s house is because Ruby’s mother ran away. Ruby’s mom ran away because she was depressed and sad that her husband left her. Her husband left her because he liked someone else and just didn’t love Ruby’s mom.

Since then Ruby had gone to live with Cora, went to an expensive school and was excepted into collage.
