Week 4 Student: Kaytlyn Weiscope Adult: Suzy Lawler Pages read: p135-187 I enjoyed the book because I like reading something unusual. I do like science fiction. I think that some ideas are not necessarily true, but are written to get the author's point of view across to the readers. But, on the other hand, some science fiction writers of the past were just predicting what could happen in the future. I think that possibility (whether it be ghosts or travel to other planets) is exciting to my imagination. This book kept my interest well and anyone who enjoys a mystery would enjoy this book. I always looked forward to getting back to the book to see what would happen next. The main character,Ali is a constant in the book. She seems very mature for her age. But she does not understand the emotions of her family, especially her Mom. In that respect, she is not very sympathetic. As the story ends, Ali can understand her Mom and Dulcie's point of view through Ali's awareness of the past events. In the present, Ali becomes close to "Sissy" after she understands what has happened to Teresa (Sissy). In all, Ali becomes aware of all the complicated emotions of the people (and ghost) around her. The lesson to be learned is that we should be honest in all our dealings with people. Most of all honesty is not an easy character trait for most people. Another lesson from the book is for people to have compassion for our fellow human beings, even though they may be very different from us. I would like to know how Ali's mother, Claire's health is after the burial and story of Teresa(Sissy) is told. Also, does Dulcie and Emma go back to the city? I like the ending of the book. I think it ended well for all the characters. I expected more of a surprise ending, but this ending was good. I am looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday evening. Bring your cross-stitch if you want. I would like to see it. I have been getting some plants (flowers) and painting outdoor chairs. See you soon, Suzy
