Climax

The most exciting part of the story for me was when Roy went to Dana’s house
and tried to be sneaky and not seen, but he was found.

Resolution

happy.

Theme

Something I learned while reading Hot was that you can’t let anyone stop you.
Roy was stopped by Dana on his mission to find that mysterious boy. Even though
Dana did that, it didn’t stop Roy from finding the mysterious boy.
