Mr.Harvey, Susies killer, has raped and killed many girls before Susie. Dennace the Menace also does a lot of bad things. ( not quite as extreme, but still ) Dennace never seems to feel bad for the bad crazy stunts he pulls. Mr. Harvey also seems to have no concience.

Lindsey Salmon was Susie's little sister. When people look at Lindsey all's they see is Susie now, and they don't see who Lindsey really is. That reminded me of those trickey pictures that you only see one thing, but if you look close and hard enough you can see that it is actually something different. In the picture above you usually only see it as a face, or the word liar.

This picture represents the never ending yearning, always wanting answers, never getting them. Your always only left with your own thoughts and theorys.

The part in the book in which the family, particularly the father, was greiving, greatly reminded me of how Mary must have wept when she saw her son also get taken from her hands. Its something greatly beyond your control, but yet you cannot help but be miserable

The book I'm reading is named Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Susie Salmon gets lured into a man-dug whole by a familiar neighbor one night coming home from school. This picture portrays that she was forced to stay in that whole, no longer had the free will to leave, and how much it caught her off-gaurd. She lived in a small town so no one else expected it either. It also signifies the violence in which the raping and killing was carried out.

This week I have been reading the Davinci Code. I am only a few chapters in so I'm not positive how I could make an accurate judgment and apply it correctly. From what i've heard so far, it seems just like a story, contrary to what the Bible teaches. A lot of christians are skeptical about this book. What I've read so far is purely information about Robert Langdon and other various historical references, therefore I cannot possibly apply.

I'm rubber, your glue.

Over the weekend i have finished my second book. It's title was Backwater and was written by Joan Bauer. Its about Ivy Breedlove and the journey that emphasizes her passion for history. In Ivy's family they are all lawyers, and very close-minded, and didn't easily accept people who are different; because of that her aunt Josephine was not accepted in the Breedlove family. Ivy decides to go on a quest to find her Aunt and find out exactly what happened that made her cut herself off from the family. On her way she has to depend on the guide "mountain mama" and goes through many life threatening situations: white-outs, extreme cold, animals. When she finally meets Josephine, she learns that she just liked to be alone, and loved birds more than she ever did people. She also learns a lot about who her father used to be, and a whole new perspective on life. A storm hits while she's staying, and she has to go across an icy lake in order to save Josephine. When she finally returns, everyone is thankful, and their family ties are stronger than ever.
