This latest section has not been too good. Not much has really taken place since the last section. I did figure out that Al and Caroline are in fact married, but Al doesn’t live with her.. kinda weird if you ask me. If they are married wouldn’t they live together? Isn’t it normal to live together or was that like something popular back then.. I would assume not.
One thing that was in fact new with this last section was that David wants to actually meet Phoebe. Caroline had received a letter about it, and she could not stop thinking about it so she had to talk to someone. She has not told Al why she truly has Phoebe, he still thinks she was stranded at the grocery store and needed a ride home, back to her apartment.
She told him and he was not surprised at all. He was not mad either, which I personally would have been. That is a pretty big secret to be kept, especially about a child that is not even yours. She still has not said anything to him, to David, I should say. Al also brought up the topic of moving, and that Phoebe is growing up.
How I think Caroline is reacting, but more sad like when talking about Phoebe. Al is probably happy, but he doesn’t know the whole story of Phoebe so can you really blame him?
Caroline does not want to talk about it, personally I think it is because she does not want to be alone. Growing up with Caroline I am sure is nice, but through Caroline’s eyes, it would be miserable because she knows deep down that Phoebe is growing up and will not be little much longer, even if she has developed slower than the others.
One theme that I think is shown through this book so far is to do the right thing, even if some people may think it is wrong. All the time, people assume that people are always judging. It should not be the case, but it is. Doing the right thing is something that can be harder, than not doing the right thing. Caroline taking Phoebe into her own hands is something that relates to the potential theme in the book. This specific potential theme also brings some wonders to my mind too. How is Caroline really feeling with Phoebe? What was she thinking when she took her away from the institution, instead of the fact that it looked scary?
How I think the author looks when trying to show her theme throughout the book.
The author’s writing style is interesting. She uses mostly description words and non-dialog. If there is dialog, it is minimal. I think she might do that to get the reader to imagine what is going on and think like specific characters. If the reader can do that, maybe the book will be more enjoyable.
I hope this next section brings some entertainment to the table. I am getting tired of reading more descriptions, yes it is important but it is so boring. I hope Al is a huge plot twist because that would definitely make the book more interesting. I hope Phoebe finds out about Paul also. I also hope that David’s wife is caught, in person. David should just talk to her about her wrongdoings anyway.
