The lonely bones
After being brutally murdered, 14-year-old Susie Salmon (Saoirse
Ronan) watches from heaven over her grief-stricken family (Mark
Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz) -- and her killer (Stanley Tucci). As she
observes their daily lives, she must balance her thirst for revenge with
her desire for her family to heal.

When Tara, a self-proclaimed shrinking violet, steals the school mascot, a goat, in order to make some friends with the popular crowd and gets caught, she gets herself in a heap of trouble. In addition, her parents decide that instead of taking her on their summer trip to Madagascar to study the courtship rituals of the Bamboo Lemur, she must go stay with her aunt, uncle, and bratty cousin Emily St. Claire in Willow Falls.
ReplyDeleteTara thinks it's a good time to start over; she'll be turning 13 after all, so she might as well make the best of it and perhaps even attempt to break out of her shell (in a non-criminal manner). What Tara doesn't know is that this charmed town has something big in store for her on her 13th birthday. It's not a typical birthday. But then again, nothing is Willow Falls is exactly typical!
It is around Christmas time in my book right now and Susie Is stuck in heaven and without her family. She is sad watching her dad and mom sit there missing there daughter and wishing Susie was still with them. Her mom and Dad think Susie murder might be their faults because they should have protected her more. Its a pretty sad chapter.
ReplyDeleteI think that the author did a great job in this chapter explaining how all the characters feel because of the horrible event that has set the family back a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis week the author used a lot of vivid imagery to describe Susie's death to her little 4 year old brother. It was really depressing to me and it was hard to read.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Author was describing her grandmother with what I thought was a very funny way to describe being drunk. "Grandma Lynn was finely drunkend. This somehow made me laugh really hard.
ReplyDeleteSusie is explaining how she felt when she got killed. THe author made long pauses in between the sentences. It was very emotional to read. Also when Susies parents are talking about how they felt when Susie suddenly went missing it was also very emotional.
