...As We Proceed...
As the story goes on more about their character is being revealed. Caitlin is extremely ambitous and confident. I sort of like her character because I see some of me in her. During my freshman year, I entered with alot of confidence yet i was still a little nervous about meeting new people. But I ended up meeting great friends, and I adjusted pretty well. There are some things and some people I regret meeting, because it caused me to get distracted from school, but unlike Phil from the book, I know what I want to do with my life. That's another way I can relate to Caitlin. She knows exactly what she wants to do. So far, im really liking this book because I think it's something every teenager will go through atleast during one point of their life.

Read My Book....you know you want to =D
So far, the book isnt that bad. I can kind of relate to it, since its about moving to a new place and meeting new people. Caitlin appears to be a shrewd, too full of herself. But the fact that she's from New York, kind of seems to explain alot of that. Phil seems to be trying to hard, but I'm pretty sure Caitlin will eventually give him a chance. You should read this book, because you can probably relate to it, and since we all will soon be going to college, you will be able to understand how it feels. So yeah.....READ IT!

"Tooth and Nail" Chapeters 1-8 Summary
Chapter 1: Off to College
Caitlin Ciccone departs from her father who lives in NY, and moves to Holyfield, where she will be attending college. After she arrives at Holyfield, she takes a cab to college. The Cab driver, Annie, also goes to the same college. She told Annie to stop the cab at Prospero Gate, so that she could walk around and tour the campus. Phil McKnight is from San Diego, California, and is also going to Holyfield College.
Chapter 2: Entrance Examination
Caitlin walked around the campus, noticing a building that was not labeled on the map. As she walked by the theater hall, she read a sign that said the first performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, was going to be that night. In the Herald Newspaper she read about an old professor that donated his collection of rare books, and nobody knows precisely whats written in those books. She decided that she would talk to Bill, the newspaper editor, if she could be a writer for the paper.
Chapter 3: Go Fish
Phil meets his new roommates, Chris and Jimmy. Chris is from Pittsburgh and Jimmy is from South Carolina. Jimmy has a pet fish named Sigmund, that would not stop swimming rapidly in circles. Jimmy had fed it way too much food. Chris ran to the communal bathroom to empty out the fish bowl, thats where they met Leo, their freshman counselor.
Chapter 4: First Impressions
Caitlin met her roommates, Lucy and Juliet; both are really organized and neat. Juliet is from Minnesota and is thinking of majoring in psychology. Lucy is more into playing instruments, while Juliet is the more sporty type. Lucy is first generation Korean-American from Seattle. The 3 girls had decided that they would go to the opening of Romeo and Juliet after dinner.
Chapter 5: Study What You Most Affect
The 3 girls were considering going to the pizza place after the play, because the cafeteria food was disgusting. As the girls were making fun of the course titles, Mrs.Torres the English teacher, sat down with them and had a casual talk with them. Bill talked to the Phil and his roommates about their future career plans. Phil was the only one unsure about what he wants to do. The chapter ended with Caitlin leaving the table to go talk to Bill about the Herald Newspaper.
