Phoebe Wheeler

__ About Me: __ “I’ve been numb for eight years, I had no sense to feel, mostly to feel my emotions.” I chose this quote because Phoebe couldn’t get in touch with herself about her twin brother’s death. __ Wall: __ It was summer in Nantucket when some of Phoebe’s closest friends, Greg and Tess, die in a freak boat accident. Phoebe’s other friends (also close to Greg and Tess), have secrets of their own and they unfold each time they remember their beloved friends. __ Friends: __ Delilah- This is Phoebe’s best friend; Delilah has helped Phoebe through everything, mostly all the deaths that happened in her life but when it came to, Greg and Tess’ death. Reed- Phoebe’s twin brother/best friend; they have been close since they were in the womb. On September 11, 2001…Reed died in the twin towers and after that Phoebe has never felt the same; she felt disconnected and numb. Her brother’s death was when her life ended, it was her everything. The Chief- Phoebe wasn’t close to him but she was really fond of him, as if she could trust him with anything…even her life. Isabella Swan(Twilight series)- Phoebe and Isabella became close when they started talking about loss and how they felt numb. __ Hobbies: __ Phoebe before her brother’s death and after Greg and Tess’ death, Phoebe was active; she liked to exercise, go to the beach, and organize social events. __ Favorite songs: __ A. “Scars” by Paparoach- This song was chosen because it describes how phoebe had to tear herself apart to feel. B. “She will be loved” by Maroon5- Phoebe needs to know that she will be loved no matter what. C. “Beautiful Soul” by Jesse McCartney- By listening to this song, Phoebe would know that all she has is beauty inside of her. D. “Hello Hello” by Paramore- This song describes how Phoebe felt in the beginning of the book; how she felt alone and stranded. __ Education: __ In the book Phoebe learned that even if you saw a person every day of your life, they do have secrets and someday it will uncover; when uncovered, that one little secret will hurt everyone that you loved. __ Book & author: __ The Castaways by ELin Hilderbrand
