b. What is the most important word in your book? The most important passage? The most important event? Explain.

I think the most important word and phrase in my book is right in the title which is "I know what you did last summer." After receiving this short note, the 4 main characters' lives were never the same again. This pharse not only recalled the painful and regretful experience that the 4 main characters have been trying to hide but also taught them a lesson about responsibility and courage to face the consequences of their actions.

The most important event in the whole book is the night when the 4 main characters killed a little boy ridding a bike in a car accident. They were drinking, smoking a little pot, and drivng too fast. After hitting the kid, they were afraid and decided to run away and call the police in a nearby public phone instead of staying with the boy. Even after nearly a year has passed, every detail of that horrible night still stays within each of the 4 characters' memories and hearts.
