Dreams

One of the themes I have discovered about this books is dreams. In Before I Fall, Sam dies over and over again. Starts off every cupid day waking up then after school she goes to Ally's to get ready with Lindsay and Elody then ends up going to Kent's party. The first night she attends it with her friends and towards the end of the night they make fun of Juliet, they refer to her as the psycho and then they drive off in Lindsay's car and die in a terrible car accident. Then the next morning she wakes up and it's cupid day again.
The next night she goes to Kent's party and again Juliet calls them names, but instead of Sam throwing her drink in her face all she says is "You don't know me." But just like the night before they die in a car accident. But once again she wakes up and it's cupid day again. Sam goes to math class and flirts with Mr. Daimler, then after class they fool around. Sam asks Lindsay why she hates Juliet so much and Elody and Ally make fun of Sam for caring about Juliet, the psycho. They leave the party early and all go back to Ally's. Around two in the morning the phone rings and Juliet has committed suicide, blowing her head of in her room. Sam goes up to the bathroom and instead she finds herself looking through yearbooks and finds pictures of Lindsay and Juliet together, they were best friends in public school, but she doesn't question Lindsay about it. Another cupid day goes by and the same party Sam went to the past 4 nights occurs again but this time Sam tries to find Juliet to stop her from what she thinks she's about to do. Sam finds Juliet out at the road this time and she jumps out into the oncoming traffic and a car kills her.
Sam has the same day everyday and she relives it and changes what she thinks causes her death so that she won't die. She also tries to help Juliet and realizes how bad of a person she has been to peers in high school, like Juliet and Kent. She realizes she has been a huge bully.
