To top it all off, the ending was quite good.]]> 2023-02-22 21:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491754104 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491761088 The author had dropped us suddenly, where we do not have any back story on what the situation was, why she was there, and how she managed to recover. Only later in the chapter do we get to know a bit about herself, allowing for us to answer our queries we had at the beginning of the chapter. Overall, I think the ending could have started with who she was, and it would have lead us up to her present day moment.]]> 2023-02-22 21:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491761088 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491767408 An important dialogue between characters is at the beginning of the book, when our main character returns to school and she meets her ex best friend: CP. They had gotten off on bad terms, and CP's betrayal is only confronted by hate from our main character, emphasizing the hurtfulness of CP's action.

The quote is, "So the nutcase returns. She said. Did you escape? Hey, everyone, the House of Psychosis is missing a lunatic. I took aim at my former friend, shouting, I could vomit up the alphabet soup and it makes more sense than you." Although it was CP who had started the fight, it was our main character who really fired back and kindled it.]]> 2023-02-22 21:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491767408 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491770622 The unknown word for me is "lacy". The quote is, "On that unthinkable day, the traitor had been standing in her lacy lingerie,". I think that, with the use of context clues, lacy means something that is similar or like a replica or resemblance of. 

Via a dictionary, I found out that it actually means made of or resembling.]]> 2023-02-22 22:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491770622 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491775447 Confessions: The Murder of an Angel has two main themes: fear and anger. This is because Tandy was so driven to destroy the family business which ruined the lives of her family members, which causes her to be fueled with the anger of how it changed her life and the fear that she shouldn't be doing this. They are the two most basic emotions, and they can cause people to run away from stress, at a great cost to themselves. The fear and anger that frequently rush through Tandy was so real that I could almost feel it myself. 

An example of anger she feels is on page 52, when she says, "My anger had been surging as I spoke. I hadn't quite managed to keep it out of my voice."]]> 2023-02-22 22:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491775447 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491783728 The unknown word for me is "flanked". The quote is, "I drifted through the doorman-flanked entrance behind Hugo, past the elegant common rooms,". I think that flanked means something related to being on the side of, because of the structure of a doorman building.]]> 2023-02-22 22:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491783728 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491786256 The last word that I did not know was "whoosh". Now, it sounds familiar, but I do not think my record of the meaning is right after I tried fitting it into this sentence, "After a long upward whoosh, the doors opened inside,". I think a whoosh means a movement that requires a rushing movement to get by, which would be something upward. ]]> 2023-02-22 22:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491786256 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491871176 There is a metaphor, when Tandy says, "Memories of CP hit me with the force of a tsunami."

It is important that they have it as it is helpful throughout the book.

Although it may seem like a bold statement, it might not be as she has plenty of evidence in the pills themselves, but no documented information as they were burned in a fire. The quote is, "Philippe filled a mug...take me seriously." ]]> 2023-02-23 01:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491917506 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491921401 Now, later in the book, Tandy is at a stage in which she is ready to make a move. She does, in fact, by confronting the owner of these wicked acts. It was her Uncle Peter, who she had accused. She has found the secret, exposed it, and is in a great position for when they go to court. She is inching closer to her goal of ending this business, and her hatred for it has been fueled by what it has caused for many people who have already died in testing. 

We know she has a clear advantage when she states, "I've got everything...flesh and blood."]]> 2023-02-23 01:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2491921401 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2492479789 Towards the end of the first part, she discovers something ver helpful: her sister is alive.  This will turn out to be more influential, as she has a personal relationship with the owner of the pharmacy. The quote is, "Tandy, it's Katherine...Tell me about you!"]]> 2023-02-23 12:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2492479789 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493095971 Towards the end of the first part of my book, a very tense and frustrating mood has been created because of the stress that Tandy has.

Answer: I think that it is, because the book is about the avenging of many people who have lost their lives or suffered because of the pills. I think that the book revolves around the anger of Tandy and it really influenced a lot of her decisions towards ending her family's business.]]> 2023-02-23 21:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493138782 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493149241 A question that has been discussed over many is whether or not James did the right thing.

Answer: A lot of the time, I believe that he is not a good person, as he is a result of the trauma Tandy faces with her painful memories when she goes back to Paris, France. I think that his betrayal cannot be justified, and he deserted Tandy when she needed him most to recover.]]> 2023-02-23 21:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493149241 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493156613 A questions that has been asked is whether or not Tandy's parents were good human beings.

Answer: I think that they are, because despite being harsh on them, they only wanted for their children to be happy and successful, which justifies why they were so strict.]]> 2023-02-23 21:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493156613 vkinra https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2493161367 An important quote is also a part of an important event that further develops the quest to end the business, when they interrogate someone to find out useful information. can on page 266-68.

I go over many parts of the book, but I also focus on the character, Tandy, and I do not go further into other characters to a personal level.

I also learned that I must really dive into a book and analyze it to understand all the aspects, and while take this book apart, I felt as if I was the author, and it was my job to right the different aspects of the book and how they correlate to the main plot or theme.]]> 2023-02-24 23:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vkinra/jqresm4ahk6zu8ap/wish/2494429642
