Did you read the book differently knowing that he was dead?

Death = Better reading?
I just realized something very interesting. We as the reader knew about Loung's father's death long before she did. (Well at least at that time.) I think that this really changed the way that I read the book. I knew that when ever Loung referenced her father before she knew he was dead, I knew he was dead. Kinda like inside information. I really did feel a little sad when ever she did this, I can only imagine what it's like not knowing that your father is dead. And having to find out later on when this whole time you thought he was alive.

i agree with marc because it is sad knowing that you lost your father period but if some one is hiding it from you it just makes things worse.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I knew the father would die at some point of the book it's still sad when things like that happen. I've had a family member die where my parents hid it from me and my brother and we didn't know until a week after it happened.
