I see the theme of Ink is that a mindset can change someones life as in the first part of the book Yuu did not care about Katie and thought all she could do is make problems for him and not find his self identity , But as he got to know Katie and she helped him with his issues his mindset changed and so did her mindset change to him that made everything more productive. An attitude towards someone can change everything to outward perspective to improving an activity such as Yuu's control on his powers of the Kami.
“They tell you you'll forget how it used to be. You'll get used to it, that it's better to move on. They don't realize you can't. You're not the same person anymore.”
I chose that photo as it is on the cover of the book and the author states how that is a representation of what Katie Green looks like. I found the photo intruding as they (( the artist )) used native japanese paints to make it look more surreal such as yamato-e. which was the style they tried to reciprocate. I am happy the illustrator made this drawing as it gives the reader a better description on what Katie looks like and can give a visualization of her in a yukata or a uniform . The chose of colors was a mystery to me though as it said in the book she had bright blonde hair and in the photo there is traces of pink and brown as if she dyed her hair blonde.
“Katie, I know it's your life. But please ... live it. Please live.”

Second creative response
Drowned in ink you are as the flurry of anger you were
I thought I could make it better but It seemed my help was for the worst.
Broke all the traditions but kept my own as this country is not my home
Tea and flowers all seemed nice till interrupted by greed and feed of the nice
The kami wants to take your life but resist the temptation even if it seems right
Let me in and you will see the light I bring is creative and helpful to our scene
Rising action one : The first raising action is when Katie noticed Yuu's Kami powers in class she started to doodle some small pictures and they started to shift in the wind then teeth and other more dangerous things started coming from her art. Until her pen exploded and Yuu was outside the door of her class during the whole thing.
Rising action two : The second rising action is when Yuu makes a dragon and it lifts from the page attacking him and they hoped no one saw it but sadly someone did, Katie then stays at yuu's place as both of them were hurt from the painting.
