Kain's Reflection on Tompkin's Academy (Book Character Close-Up Entry 1)
Subject: Sophomore English, Tompkin's Academy
Student's Name: Kain Torvik
Date: May 3, 2011
Hey everyone, this is Kain. So I'm writing this entry on the Academy's blog. It's my last assignment for Ms. Morgan's class. We're supposed to post a reflection on the past year at Tompkin's Academy. We weren't given any requirements, just that we were supposed to have it done today, so I chose to reflect my last year in the form of songs that got me through the year:
1. Smile Like You Mean It
After being kicked out of my own home and sent off to Tompkin's Academy, I really could care less about putting on an act. It sucked. My sister told me to smile, look on the bright side she said, and I tried. So I guess faking it best describes how I felt at the beginning of the school year.
But I did get invited to join the school's basketball team, so that helped make it a bit better.
2. Never Slept So Soundly
Then everything changed and my world got thrown upside down. School was still the same, but I realized I had been sleeping my entire life. I found the power within me in a dream and I woke up.
3. Born
Then I was born. Everything from my past faded away and I transcended what was holding me back. There's something about Tompkin's Academy that keeps me here and I know it is my destiny to find out why.
Feel free to hit me up on my facebook page here.
Peace,
Kain

Kain,
Have you been home since your rebirth? I have to wonder whether the people back there would even recognize you. Seems unlikely, or that they'd at least notice something was drastically different!
Kain wonders what you mean by home ;). Rebirth is referring to more of an internal change than an external one, but it wouldn't really matter because Kain didn't keep any personal contacts back in New York. As for returning to his "home" where is Father lives, no, he has not returned there.
ice cold.
You should meet his father 😜
