Week 7, Post B

Dear Jodi,

I recently finished you novel and I've started another one of your books: The Pact. I have also read My sisters keeper and i noticed you have the same sort of theme in all your books: How well do you know your children. Do you enjoy writing about sad and depressing things that make the reader have sympathy for all the characters? well, you sure know how to make it seem that way! i am going to analyze your main quote of this novel.
"In nineteen minuted, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist;you can fold laundry for a family of five...In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it. In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge". This quote relates to many instances in this novel. For example, Peter decided to get revenge against all his classmates that ever bullied him. Do you think this was acceptable? Personally, i think no. But studies showed that Peter was in a state of not knowing what was going on. In the end, the secret is revealed about the truth, and in that instance, she jumped off of the world. Well Jodie, all in all, this novel was great. Although it had dark times, it taught me many lessons that i will always remember.
THANKS!
