The way I felt about the book "The Lovely Bones" is lots of saddness, some anger, and some pulling of the heartstrings. I was completely distraught over the fact that this young girl had had this old man rape and murder her. I dwelled on it for days just thinking about how she must have felt. Especially when she had realized what was going on. I kept thinking if I was in that situation, how I would have felt, my family, and friends, how scared I would have been. I thought about all the people who have actually gone threw it. The ones who came out alive (such as Sebold) and the ones who didn't. It sucks that this is a real thing that happened. Also, it happened so soon in the book that I wasn't yet able to know the character very well. As I got more into the book I felt deeper sadness for her and anger for the man who did this and the ones who do this in the real world. The man was going on with his life convincing himself that he was innocent. He was proud that he got away with it. That he had done so well hiding the body, getting rid of the smell, acting as if he felt actual sympathy for the family of the little girl that he had raped, filled with fear, killed, chocked, forced. The fact that it happens so often just under our noses. We know this happens yet we choose not to do anything about it. If giving the question "Do you want to stop this?" to anyone in this world most people would say, "Yes, of course!" yet so many people step back or doesn't say anything, or do anything. Many families go threw the sadness and wonder of what happened to someone that they loved. As I continued to read the book I got to know the characters more I began to feel for them as if I truely knew them. As I read through the book I noticed things about people. Different ways they handled it. I got a sense of the difficulty they went through and how everyone handles this sort of thing differently.
