In the end, none of that really matters because they will always be apart of you. You sometimes look back and regret things you say. But under NO circumstance, you would never want/expect anything bad to happen. We fight, argue, disagree, and share silly, happy memories. Similar to the book, we are quite the opposite. I think it sort of hit home because it made me think about the relationship that I have with my sister. Something dramatic DID happen to one of the sisters, yet it was still a happy eventful ending. I will admit, I started to possibly shed a tear in this book near the end. It also hit home to those who are close with their families. This book had emotional connections to sisterly and brotherly fights/love, moving to a new house or city, true friendship, births, and deaths of those close to us. It was a realistic fiction that portrayed many difficulties we face in our own lives. I never expected this book to have such an emotional connection that I experienced. I first picked this book because it was sort of “girly.” The summary suggests this book is about two young sisters who move to a small house in the country, while later something dramatic happens to one of the sisters. Part Two: Response to the book: Predictions, thoughts about craft. Genre: Pre-1990 YA novel, Children’s Juvenile novel, Realistic Fiction, Death. All in all I think Lois Lowry did a fantastic job for her first young adult novel, Mind you this book was copyrighted in 1977.Lowry, L. I was surprised I didn't cry, but I think that's because the book wasn't very long and I didn't get a chance to really feel that deeply for the characters. I found myself relate to Meg in many ways and I was glad to see that she has her photography to hold on to and create something that makes her feel like herself. There is a lot of emotions and powerful character sensitivity throughout this book. And the day Molly is rushed to the hospital, Meg has to accept that there is something terribly wrong with her sister. But Molly’s constant grouchiness, changing appearance, and other complaints are not just part of a new mood. Just as the sisters begin to adjust to their new home, Meg feels that Molly is starting up again by being a real nuisance. The two of them couldn’t be more different, and it’s hard for Meg to hide her resentment of Molly’s beauty and easy popularity. Meg isn’t thrilled when she gets stuck sharing a bedroom with her older sister Molly.
A wonderful tale of love, tragedy and friendship. Lois Lowry’s first novel, A Summer to Die is brilliantly written and completely relatable. Brilliantly written and completely relatable
