The Abandoned Book

This blog post is going to be based on a social action question: When did you find yourself resting the text? What does your resistance about you in the text ? I am going to be answering this question on this book that i abandoned The Lovely Bones by Alice Selod. In this book there is family of 5, 3 girls, a mom and a dad. One of the girls were Susie Salmon " salmon like the fish " Susie would say. Susie was murdered because she was beautiful. No one knew who murdered her and why.Except Susie of course; most people believe that after they die there soul goes up there, well instead Susie going there she went to a place that was right in between of earth and heaven. from there she would communicate with her dad.  
     I abandoned this book about halfway when the search for Susie's murderer just began. While i reading this book a fear grew inside of me, what if this happens to my family, what would i do? i started to put myself in to that book. this book showed me that you don't know whats going to happen and when it is going to happen. You should be grateful, you don't know how much you love something until it is taken away from you. Like me i constally have little fights with my sister about why she did this, or why she did that, but when she goes away to somewhere for hours and hours, i go crazy about why she isn't coming home, i show people some reason to cover the fact that i miss her. 
while i was reading this book i began thinking about what if this happened to my sister , i placed her in Susie's place and i got afraid that i won't be able to do anything about it.
this book helped me appreciate that spend your time well you never know when you are going to lose it.

  1. You went really deep within the fact that you felt like you were in the book. You went into the fact that you can relate to everything. Even if things were hatred on one side, it can mean something else on the other side. I like how you implemented that you will dislike your sister at points but then miss her at some points. It made me think about my life.
