Free Choice Lovely Bones

Lovely bones have stirred up a lot of emotions with me. I find it overwhelming that this author could show so much deep emotion through a book. At times I felt like I had to set it down because it’s hard to read how careless people are and how they walk around like nothing happened. At a certain point in time I would get angry, I felt like the author wanted us to feel every emotion there was, she showed pain, remorse, loneliness, etc. It got to the point that I couldn’t read anymore because the story wasn’t going the perfect way I hoped it would. I am sure this book could relate to many people that know or have family members murdered over people mental issues, although it would be painful for them the Author made it in away the people could connect on different levels and let their pain go.Y

guided response "the lovely bones" poem

The lovely bones poem
The heartache he caused my parents was unbearable
He took everything from me in a blink of an eye
I was in between heaven and I was already losing sight
He didn’t know how much a father could love his daughter
And I couldn’t believe how my mother would react
In fact I was sure she would have a heart attack.
He chopped me up as if I was meat
Why couldn’t anyone smell me in the heat?
My lovely bones he hid away
I am in heaven now, I hope my parents know I’m safe
