I see this theme throughout the whole book. Specially towards the end.

Process is like planning then putting the ideas together to make the writing then revising it at the end. The planning part is hardest for me bc I tend to make plans but then end up rewriting everything bc I didn’t like the way it sounded so it’s really time consuming and challenging

I'm kind of comfortable with the skill. The challenging part is getting started and trying to right it out. A strategy I do is look at examples of intros to essays to at least get a idea.

My process is more of letting my thoughts just flow out and writing down whatever comes to mind and then fixing later. I am comfortable with this skill because it's the fun part of the essay.

Understanding. This theme is kinda hidden if u ask me but throughout the book no ones understands why it happen, how it happened, no one understands each other’s emotions various times in the book.. etc

I feel like her dad grieved the hardest because when she passed and he started breaking the ships they built , that was his way of grieving.

I think although the repression of any feelings is unhealthy, she faces her grief only when she finally feels comfortable which is a good choice on her part. By choosing when and how to let that sadness go I think she feels more control over those emotions and if I was in her shoes I'd probably do the same.

Throughout the novel we see many instances where trust has been given, where it has lacked, and where it's been misplaced.

I think losing a kid set something off in her. She no longer wants to be a parent really. Not from a place of hatred but just an overwhelming sense of grief and regret. She only does things out of obligation for her kids and I think it's mainly because of a misguided expression of grief.

I do feel bad for him because imagine losing your daughter you are already in pain. So on top of that you have people calling you names plus you have to be there for the rest of your family and you don't eve have yourself together all the way.

Sure it is about grief but we also watch these characters grow into their post - Susie selves. I'm guessing we'll eventually see how her friends fare as adults and how everyone moves past their grief in a healthy way. So in that sense, growth is a big theme too.

Like Angeni said, losing Susie really triggered something in her. I can't relate to losing a child or anything but I know It is probably killing her.

I agree with Angeni that Lindsey is they type that wants control over her emotions. She has been a very strong portrayed character. It is also good to see that although in this tragic time for the family, she is able to get away from her sadness and think clearly.

I'm notoriously bad at writing drafts because I have a fear of messing up so my comfortability with it is on the low side. I'm alright with eventually editing and making a good one but its that first paragraph that gets me tripped up. So my strategy is to stop being picky at first. If I write a bad paragraph then its whatever, I can go back and fix it. Or I can write a new one but regardless its progress.

I've read through the book already and made a connection with starting decisions and/or responses that lead to outcomes of further personal growth at the end, and I think alot of the grief the characters experience shape who they eventually become and what they eventually decide to do with their lives
