Okay, so, my post for today is about my prediction. I don't know how the book ends or what happens next. So, I am going to use the facts I already have to make a prediction (or also known as an educated guess) instead of a guess about what happens. If I were to just guess about what is going to happen in the book chances are that I am not going to guess correctly. Like is a book is about romance I am definitely not going to predict that aliens are going to come and destroy the world. So, onward!
Okay, I am reading "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold! So far in the book (SPOILER ALERT***)
Chapter 1: You meet Susie Salmon a 14 year old girl. The 2nd sentence in you learn that she was murdered and what she looks like. Then she has a flashback about her neighbor Mr. Harvey. At first sight he seems like a nice guy but he is sinister and (I'm not going into detail because it would be awkward) he made a secret fort underground in a corn field and rapes Susie and kills her after!
Chapter 2: 3 days later Susie find herself in heaven and meets her room mate Holly who has also been there 3 days. Susie gets a lot of what she wanted on earth in heaven. You learn everyone's heaven is different but they all connect in some way or another. Susie watches her family from heaven wanting to help them solve he murder mystery. On earth they find her hat (it was used in her murder to gag her :( gross!) and the police also find her elbow bone, apparently a local dog found it and dug it up! Again GROSS! When Susie's father got the call he had to tell Susie's sister Lindsey about the find and she barfed! AGAIN GROSS! (I'm almost finished chapter 2 so that is all I know about the book now!
My prediction is that they find the rest of Susie's soon and then they use it to catch Mr. Harvey. And Mr. Harvey gets the death penalty and Mr. Salmon watches and so does Susie and then Mr. Harvey goes to H.E. 2 Hockey sticks if you know what I mean.

Lindsay--
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he does get caught!! Alice Sebold tells about Susie's experience in heaven-- so do you think she is going to tell her reader what Mr. Harvey's experience in hell is??
Fun fact-- (or maybe not so fun...but it is a fact)-- Alice Sebold began to write this book but had to stop to write her autobiography (Lucky). She found that she wasn't telling Susie's story because she was telling her own.
After she wrote Lucky, she was able to come back and finish Susie's story.
Crazy, huh??
p.s. I have Lucky if you want to read it later!
That's a really cool fact and I think I am going to want to read that after. Also I think that she isn't going to tell of Mr. Harvey's experience; I think that is when the book ends!
ReplyDeleteWow! A lot of details there my friend. Haha but that's okay its really good:)
