how do you think susie views heaven now

# data[].attributes.body
It went worse. I like this book but if I'm being honest I skimmed the pages when it came time to read this week. Although I did read the entire book when I got it so I remember what happens. Regardless I need to reread so I can take notes.

It was not that great. I ended having to read all 4 chapters last night. I was just busy with other work throughout last week.

it was fine i didn't read the days I had to read with the group but managed to read them over the weekend

I didn't really read as much as I could have. I did start skimming also after chapter one.

So far I haven't noticed any flaws, it's been very engaging especially with Susie as the narrator. The book is written in first person which gives us the ability to almost feel like we are with her throughout her story. It is also very detailed.

# data[].attributes.body
No apparent flaws as of now, I like the way the book is narrated and I like the language she uses. It's easy to understand and visualize.

sometimes during the book I can get a little lost with the transitioning that goes on in different places susie is in but other than that the book is really engaging and maybe the transitioning is what makes it cool

What did you think about when Susie was describing how she had been murdered, and what he did with her after?

# data[].attributes.body
I don't see any flaws. And like Mia said since the novel is in first person you can practically feel what Susie feels, I believe that's what engages the readers. They can relate.

Do you think that the way Mr. Salmon describes death to Buckley is good or bad? Do you think it'll have any good or bad effect on Buckley as he gets used to not having a sister?

# data[].attributes.body
I think she felt like she was taken advanatage of and was mad at him for then later on talking wth her family as if he had nothing to do with it

# data[].attributes.body
In the long run it'll be good for him because he'll be able to understand death but it can get overwhelming now not having his siter by him anymore

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's both a blessing and a curse for her. It's safe and accommodating to her needs and wants, but it holds her back from doing what she wants because being dead makes her powerless. I think she feels like she's trapped.

There is no right way to tell a kid that their big sister is dead. He tried to explain it with a game to maybe try to get him to understand but also not be too sad. When he struggled to find a way to get Buckley to understand and he straight up told him she was dead, it was the right thing to do. Everyone was having a hard time coping especially since they tried to hide it from Buckley.

Like Sheyla said before, she's angry because he's messing around with her family after hurting her. I also think she has this immense hope that her Father can find some evidence of Mr. Harvey being the murderer.

# data[].attributes.body
Susie's heaven is like her own personal heaven filled with her wishes and views of her family. It is more personal and specific, not like the traditional vision of heaven.

# data[].attributes.body
I had kind of a long shot hypothesis of something that I think might end up being true: Do y'all think Ruth could maybe be gay?

# data[].attributes.body
I also agree with Sheyla. Susie feels upset cause she can't tell her story of what happened to her. The fact that Mr. Harvey is acting as if nothing happened messes with her peace.

# data[].attributes.body
My doubts mostly stem from the fact that this was written in 2002

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it was a bad way to tell him, but like Mia said there is no good or bad way to say your sister passed. By Jack putting it through a game I fell like is a more gentle way of telling him without really saying how. And later in life he will understand how death works like Sheyla said.

I wonder if her heaven is really "heaven" or perfect since she is without her loved ones. We are all social creatures, so I wonder if there is a progression to this view of heaven the author has created, or if she is only there alone because she has "unfinished business" (her family's lives and perhaps seeing Mr. Harvey being brought to justice)?
