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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557244069 mialopez12 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557245735 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557245735 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557247245 it was fine i didn't read the days I had to read with the group but managed to read them over the weekend ]]> 2021-05-25 12:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557247245 kimora_sanders https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557249174 I didn't really read as much as I could have. I did start skimming also after chapter one.]]> 2021-05-25 12:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557249174 mialopez12 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557250323 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557250323 angeni_shahi https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557251242 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557251242 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557252591 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]]> 2021-05-25 12:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557252591 kimora_sanders https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557257799 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557257799 mialopez12 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557260045 What did you think about when Susie was describing how she had been murdered, and what he did with her after?]]> 2021-05-25 12:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557260045 angeni_shahi https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557263211 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?]]> 2021-05-25 12:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557263211 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557263632 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]]> 2021-05-25 12:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557263632 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557268374 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]]> 2021-05-25 12:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557268374 angeni_shahi https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557273088 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557273088 mialopez12 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557280374 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. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557280374 angeni_shahi https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557281669 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557281669 kimora_sanders https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557284909 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. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557284909 angeni_shahi https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557294859 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?]]> 2021-05-25 12:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557294859 kimora_sanders https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557297044 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. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557297044 angeni_shahi https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557302953 My doubts mostly stem from the fact that this was written in 2002]]> 2021-05-25 12:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557302953 kimora_sanders https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557315551 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.]]> 2021-05-25 12:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557315551 mconfroy1 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557329491 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)?]]> 2021-05-25 12:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/amw3ojf7r6cobju0/wish/1557329491
