O.R. Post #2

The title of my book, once again, is The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold. It has been a couple weeks after Susie Salmon's death and it is hard for her family to cope. Her father resorts to drinking and staying away from the rest of the family. Her mother on the other hand, tries to pretend that everything is okay, and maybe Suzie will turn up. Her sister, Lindsay, practices how to keep a strait face and doesn't mention Suzie for as long as she can. Susies dad has a hunch about who has killed his daughter, Mr. Harvey, the creepy neighbor. This is infact is who killed Suzie, but there is no evidence that he did it.
All of this is still very hard for suzie to watch, knowing that there is nothing she can do...or is there? Suzie discovers that if she thinks hard enough about somethng, it appears. She wanted her father to know that he was on the right track with her murderer. At the time, her father was smashing the "sailboats-in-a-bottle" that he only made with Suzie. She thought long and hard until he saw her sign. She had her face appear in all of the little pieces of glass that now lay on his office floor. She was happy, yet she was lonely because she knew that she would never really be able to talk to them again. She wondered why she couldn't be with her already dead grandparents. Why was heaven so different then she had amagined? Her counsler explained that in order for it to be like that she had to not care about the people on earth, she had to let go. Suzie knew that she could never do that. So yeah.. that's what happened so far!
