"Is there a message or theme in the book?"

Yes, I do think there is. Out if all the things I could of thought of, this seems the most rational. That would be responsibility. The main character in the beginning of the book you see her complain about all the work she has to do, then once she is put in charge in the restaurant and a hold up takes place she learns in the most toughest moments you see the responsibility of the moment seem much less than the ones she was complaining about in the beginning of the book. In the line in page 133 you can see what it took for responsibility which corresponded for her to be set free. "I no longer felt the responsibility to try to be perfect, to avoid disappointing anyone else". The maturity reached has realized her true responsibility.

"Write your opinion to a characters action or reaction. What you have done instead?"

In the story line you get to see the antagonist, Dylan point if view, although very intelligent. Lack of morals is what leads him to rob the food place Burger Heaven. His parents are both not supportive and lack in wealth for him to stand on a good base to begin in the business world. His way of thinking is to do this thing once and his path to success is straight to business. You can see this in page 61 where he says "These robberies are only a temporary means to a greater end". For me to be put in that position. I would have used my intellect and wont be afraid to work hard to grasp a firm financial base to venture in the business world. My morals are more valued than whats done wrong.

"Write a connection to another book or movie you have seen"

One connection I found was to a movie called "Good Burger" in this cinematic film the setting of the film was very heavily similar to the fast food joint "Burger Heaven". This was due to the fact that the description of the food place almost matched the visual in the movie, yet even the name is very similar as well. The smell, noises and look all are very alike. Out of all of these the opening phrase to take an order is "Welcome to Burger Heaven. What may I serve you today?" On page 27, compared to the Good Burger phrase "Welcome to Good Burger home of the good burger. May I take your order?" All in all when I do read this book all I can think about is the one of a kind movie "Good Burger".

"What is the setting of the novel? Is the setting important or could the novel happen anywhere else?"

The setting in this case is obviously important, the place mainly takes in a fast-food restaurant where there is a hold up. The description of the restaurant called "Burger Heaven" looks like the typical McDonalds back in 2008 the mess if ketchup stains on the white table and leather seats. So all in all, can the setting take place anywhere else? No not at all.
