Critical Question #1 Blog post #2 For topic

"I was fourteen when when I was murdered on December 6, 1973." Lovely Bones is a perfect example for fairness. There are so many complexities to this story everyone's perspective is different. Buckley the youngest sibling only four. Lindsey is thirteen and perfect. Abigail mother of the Salmon's struggle keeping herself intact. All of the Salmon's have to learn to live without Susie. For that  I feel sorry for the characters. And say it is unfair. But the way some of the character deal with their situations  is unfair to each other.

 Buckley has to deal with not knowing Susie has died for some time. Even after having a close bond with her. Buckley believes in Susie's ability to appear in her ghostly form. Although he comes to resent he's parent's impotence to over come what's happened to Susie. But who's to acuse him of anything. When the parent's should try to be the back bone for their children at moment's like this. Keep them standing even they can't. For Buckley it's not fair considering his mom's left and his dad's practically mad, of his obsession to finding justice for his daughter.

Lindsey is what everyone views as flawless. She has trouble facing her actual emotions. When she's infront of everyone she's serious but in her room she's shedding tears. For both Salmon children. I feel it's terrible. " Of everyone in the family, it was Lindsey who had to deal with what Holly called the walking dead system when other people see you and not the other person."- Susie) When Susie says that you see how screwed Lindsey actually is by Susie.

Abigail ends up leaving her family and being torn up inside. Lacking actual emotions. The love for her daughter is very evident. Seeing how she ends up. Susie from heaven becomes understanding to her mother's scenario. But I guess it must be different having your mom leave the house after your dead rather then being alive. Grieving and very much in need.

In all of the character's perspectives these were the ones that really stuck her fathers was intense but it was obvious was cruel and truly unfair. I believe for Lindsey, Buckley, Abigail you can see they are torn. But you don't know if they if what they are dealing with is exactly fair or unfair. Due to their actions later or before. Of course any death of anyone would be considered unfair.
