The Girl Who Fell From The Sky

Getting to the end of the THE GIRL WHO FELL FROM THE SKY, Some Of my original questions were being answered. Reading the book I'm still loving the way the author writes. She answers your questions in interesting ways. The book is likens puzzle. I cant wait to finish the book. It deals with a lit of different topics, such as; Suicide, death, depression, and even love. As you go on everything starts to connect. You start to learn more about Rachel's dad, and the effect he had on her mom's life, and what lead her mom to suicide.
I think that Brick's change after he saw Rachel's family die is very practical. He changed his appearence and the way he acts. He visited Rachel in the hospital, and even started a bonding relationship with her father.
For Rachel's dad you lear that he drinks a lot. He really did care about his family though. As you learn more about the relationship between Rachel's mom, mor, and her dad, you realize why her mom commited suicide.
Although the book is not taking place in this time period, I think that the Author had a good strategy in connecting problems from back then, to problems now. Although Rachel's mom killing herself with her kids is a tragic plot, it is very possible, and has happened before. The author connects racial discrimination , with suicide.
I think the book has a really good plot, and I can't wait to finish it.

  2. Yeah, I agree with Michelle. Saying that it was like a puzzle piece showed that you really found the book interesting. I also like how you analyzed the actions of characters. When I first started the book I assumed that Doug pushed Mor and the kids off of the roof. When I learned that it was suicide, I wasn't surprised.
