Am i Dead?

   I am currently reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. In this book the main character Susie was murdered by someone in her block. in this story there is a idea about death. What is death? IS it when your physical body is dead or when you re physically dead and emotionally dead? To me dead is when you are emotionally and physically dead because when people are   physically dead, people still thinks about them, and by that you are still alive between the people who love you and care about you. But when people don't think about the people that are dead. you are dead. Other questions that i thought of while reading this book are: what happens to you after you die? where do you go? These question made me think about where do we go after we die in the real world? Are you just gone, by turning into dead organisms or is their an actually heaven or hell?  In this story Susie goes to a place that is between the earth and the clouds, but we know that is not scientifically true, so where do we go?

    Another idea i found in this book is that with love is strong . Love is what kept Susie alive. In this book Susie's father loved Susie a lot, so much he would do anything that possible for Susie to have peace. Like when her father  looking for evidence of Susie murderer, he basically turned crazy, he stayed up day and night waiting for an answer to Susie's murder. Also when he broke all the ships he made with his father and Susie, he basically threw away his passion. His love for Susie was so strong that he still had a connection with Susie even her being dead. Another thing that made me think that is the love that Ray had for Susie. Even though in the beginning of book he falsely got blamed for Susie's death, he didn't speak up not even once. what i think is that he didn't even care, all he knew was that he loved her, and thats that. Susie was always thought of, and so she never died. 

      In this book the main character Susie was never dead because she was thought of, she was alive between her mother, father, and her sister. I think in the real world loved people never die, because they're loved one also keep them alive but people who were bad in there life they are the ones who die and are forgotten.
