Dan crawford is an outgoing boy looking for an adventure that may or may not get him killed. His other two fiends that he met at his college prep program Abby and Jordan. Abby is the shy one out of everyone scared to do things and scared to find out what really went on in that psychiatric hospital. And jordan is kind of the same way but he still wants to figure out what went on there as well as Dan.
One conflict i this story is that three 15 year olds struggle to find out secrets of an old dorm that used to be a psychiatric ward years ago and they argue about wheter they should do it or not but its resolved after Dan rus off alone then meets back up with them and finishes thier quest.
The theme of this book is three teens set out to find out the real background of Brookline dorms in the past. They will pretty much will stop at nothing to unbury the hidden secrets as long with some suspicious people along the way.
Page# 35 "I think i found the old pictures Felix was talking about". This quote contributes because it was one of the leads they got for unburying a secret of the crumbling dorm(psychiatric ward). Page# 224 "It's just too awful to think about" The reason this quote is somewhat important is because Abby is feeling sorry fro what she had heard about what happen to the people that formerly went through.
asylum-a place for people with mental disabilities
custody-the protective care or guardianship of someone or something
nonidentifying- not being able to make someone or thing out
hurled- to throw vigorously
bombarding- to attack
My evaluation- Asylum is a really good book. It makes you think, keeps you in suspense and makes you wonder what the three kids are going to do next. So id recommend this book because its just good.
