The book made space for me to create my own story within the plot. I liked how the ending wasn't a happy ending like any other story. The ending was unexpected and made me think about reality. The most interesting part of the plot was when Louisa found out that Will was going to kill himself because he couldn't live life being disabled. It was shocking to me because I couldn't wrap my head around someone wanting to commit suicide because of a disability. And the way Louisa reacted made me a little confused. She decided she wasn't going to work for them anymore since Will was going to kill himself in a few months. I think she acted that way because she genuinely cared for him and didn't want to let go. I can connect this to real life because I know people who are sick of being looked down on so they feel as though they're better off not alive. ]]> 2017-03-13 01:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mjohnson212/pf4yp5byzldw/wish/159550107 mjohnson212 https://padlet.com/mjohnson212/pf4yp5byzldw/wish/159559583 This gif represent what I see from their relationship.

It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.” Pg.194 - I picked this quote because it just don''t relate to the story but everyday life.

“I know this isn’t a conventional love story. I know there are all sorts of reasons I shouldn’t even be saying what I am. But I love you. I do. I knew it when I left Patrick. And I think you might even love me a little bit.”  Pg.323 - The reason I like this quotes because it showed how willingly Louisa was going to drop everything for Will. 

“What do you say, Will? Going to give me a whirl?”
       “What?”
       “Come on. Let’s give these f*ckers something to talk about.” Pg.263 - I felt encourage from this because it showed me not to think about others' opinions.
