The book has now skipped forward about 8 years. There was a special chapter within this section called Snapshots and in this chapter, Susie talked about her love for photography and all of the different pictures she took to capture memories. She described her fondness for picture taking as she said, “I had rescued the […]
Blog Post 4: Deceiving Actions
As the book continues, we see more of Susie’s sorrow. It has now been a year since her disappearance and she watches from Heaven as all of her fellow classmates and siblings are growing up without her. She is stuck at the age of 14 forever as the people she looks down on are still […]
Post 3: A Family that Falls Apart
This section had a whole lot going on. I can’t even wrap my head over all that happened. Throughout this entire section, Susie’s family displays their different ways of dealing with the loss of Susie. None of them are healthy. I never would have expected to see the strange ways that they dealt with it. […]
Post 2: Suspicions and Breaking the News
Throughout the second part of this book, there has finally been suspicion of Mr. Harvey. Unfortunately, there aren’t any clues as to why it could be him but Susie’s dad met up with him and felt that he was really suspicious. He just had a weird feeling but sadly that isn’t enough to accuse Mr. […]
Post 1: The Lovely Bones
So far this book has been super interesting and I love the plot of it. I feel like everybody has their own idea of what Heaven looks like, and this author shares her version of it. In the Heaven that I imagine, there would be no sadness or feeling of loss even though you may […]

How does “The Very Brief Relation of the Devastation of the Indies” fit into the topic of Cultural Encounters and Frontiers?
The very Brief Relation of the Devastation of the Indies by Bartolome De Las Casas fits perfectly into the topic of cultural encounters and frontiers. Cultural encounters are the interactions between different cultures when they meet. The two different cultures exchange their beliefs, ideas, and traditions which most of the time are very different from […]
Do you think any of these accounts changed the audience? How? Why yes or no? If no, what could they have done to more affect their audience?
Red Cloud had a very memorable speech and he executed it in a very respectful way that it seems to have changed the audience. He represented his people in a positive, dignified, and well-mannered way. Instead of blaming the whites for all of the hardships the Native Americans were going through he kindly just asked […]
I Love “The Knife of Never Letting Go”
I really like this book that I am reading right now. Some things are confusing but overall I like it a lot. Sometimes I even think that people around me can hear “my noise” aka what I am thinking. The title confuses me. I know what “The Knife” is but I don’t get why this […]
