Life's Dash

The dash between the years of life and death are said to indicate the true meaning of life. However, the dash in my life is defined by my close relationship with my family. They are the people who fight with me all the time, but they are also the people that I can count on for anything. They are there for the good, the bad, the ugly, and the tragic. My sister and I basically have the same brain and even though we fight all the time she is my best friend no matter what because she's been there for everything. My family and I are so close because without them I'm not me.

Gracious Intro

The short amount of the Gracious Plenty that we have read so far, the first fifty pages, I find very interesting. Finch is the tragic heroine of this book by far, I mean she has lived through being disfigured as a child and still she doesn't let people walk all over her. She figures that she doesn't need them, she has the company of the dead people from her graveyard. Who I really feel bad for especially the former beauty queen. More mysteries to come and to be revealed I guess.
