Throughout my reading of this novel I continue to find sections filled with lots of interesting points and other parts where I feel totally lost and bored. That might just be the nature of the book... Anyways, I finally found a line that actually stood out to me. "Grief is natural....Overcoming it is a matter of choice" (pg. 100). How great is that line!! That basically sums up all that we have been talking about with survival etc... We have all experienced grief and loss in our lives, but it's interesting to think about how we each individually overcome it. Some people mourn for years and fall into a state of depression, and others take a more postive approach and remember the happy times and try to move on. Cleary quickly getting over the loss of someone is not easy, but figuring out how to is even harder.
Side Note: I totally felt that pages 104-105 were the most useless pages ever, but thats just my opinion!
I also just wanted to quickly look at the differences between the sisters. On page 106, the author disucusses the various activites each sister joined after the death of Cecilia and I was just wondering if you guys thought that their activities had anything to say for their personailites?
Therese - Science Club
Mary - Help divorce lady sew costumes for school play
Bonnie - Christian fellowship meeting at house of Mike Firkin
Lux - Tried out for school musical
