Mark’s psychological problems become more and more clear to the reader throughout the book.

    How much responsibility should any child have over their family? In "Bone," by Fae Myenne Ng, a character named Leila is born the daughter of a loving mother, Mah, and a run-out-on-the-family father whom cursed Leila with a last name Fu. As Leila said herself, "Fu in our dialect sounds like the word for bitter" (18). She became the oldest with two other sisters, Ona and Nina, whom both came from Mah's second husband, Leon. Leon loves his biological daughters like a true father should; meanwhile, Leon also loves Leila, his daughter only by marriage to Mah. Leon expresses how much he loves his daughters by saying "Five sons don't make one good daughter" (3), causing a scene in front of people who

Harvey’s reign of terror had already been going on for a while when Susie died. When Len Fenerman, the useless detective, investigated Harvey’s house, he gained nothing but some empty names: Leah, and Sophie, and the usual dollhouse story. In fact, the only real clue Len got

In the fall, Grandma Lynn calls Jack and says she's moving in. That December, Mr. Harvey has been gone over a year, and nobody has been able to find him. Susie feels sorry for Len Fenerman because he didn't solve the crime in time or get the lady. (Apparently, when Abigail left for California, she cut all ties to Len.) Len feels extremely guilty for not solving Susie's case.

Salmon was really uneasy, nervous, and seemed hesitant to ask my questions. I got the feeling that he didn’t want to show these emotions to his children, although I am sure they understand. Their poor son…he must have no idea what is going on, or why his sister hasn’t returned. Mr. and Mrs. Salmon must have told the boy, but he mustn’t understand. Moving onto my unpopular opinion, Mr. Salmon’s uneasiness and Mrs. Salmon’s absence are certainly having effects on their children. Mr. Salmon is so determined to find this killer, that he isn’t concerned about his health nor his children, leaving him unable to raise his kids properly. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t be able to raise my children correctly. That’s just my opinion, though. When I spoke to Jack, I asked him clear questions with an easy answer, such as “How do you plan on finding this killer?” “How are your children doing with this whole situation?” “How is your wife doing?” That question hit him hard, his response was “She did not think that she could handle being home more than a few days. Everywhere she looked she saw Susie, and at the booth across from her she saw a man who could have murdered

Matthew Olzmann’s “Letter to Someone Living Fifty Years from Now” and Maggie Smith’s “Good Bones” are both written to express their feelings, thoughts, and messages about the world. Both poems are closely related since they are both about what the world is coming to. Olzmann’s poem is about humanity vs nature, while Smith’s poem is about how the world is not safe for her children. Both poems come’s up with a problem that questions the reader to think about their choices in the world.

He investigates his old neighborhood and notification the school is being ventured into the cornfield where he killed Susie. He drives by the sinkhole where Susie's body rests and where Ruth and Ray are standing. Ruth detects the ladies Harvey has executed and is physically overcome.

It broke my heart to read it. I hate it when people die in books and movies. Then what Mr. Murray said made it even worse because he was so blunt. He was of course correct, but still have a little sympathy. Then my heart shattered when she got to the house and he was died. I felt so bad for Agnes and her family. It made me want to cry. Then when they were talking about money it made me feel horrible for them. I was proud of Agnes’s mother for standing up to her father though. That man deserved it. Nobody should turn away family just because of who they marry. I get that it was improper and scandalous of her to marry Agnes’s father, but she was your daughter old man get over

Moreover physical and sexual violence, the white masters also induced emotional violence on their black objects. The masters played with the emotions of their black slaves. First, the Negroes were segregated from their lands, their communities, their culture and their language and then whatever community they entered in during middle passage was also mercilessly knifed. In the words of Margaret Atwood: “The slaves are motherless, fatherless, deprived of their mates, their children, their kin. It is a world in which people suddenly vanish and are never seen again, not through accident or covert operation or terrorism, but as a matter of everyday legal policy” (7).

That day all Margot did was look out the window wishing the sun would come back. When the bell finally rang, she walked home in the rain, but she didn’t take out her umbrella; she just walked and let the rain drown her. Then the tears finally came, and she started to cry. She cried long and hard as she walked home. When she turned the corner at the end of the block, she saw her house, but she knew right away that something was wrong because there was an unfamiliar truck in the driveway. As she got closer to her house, she noticed that the front door was ajar. She opened the door and saw that the furniture was gone and there were stacks of boxes

The whole episode is very exciting and suspenseful. At the end of they reveal two huge surprises. Throughout the season, the characters have been trying to figure out who killed Lila Stangard. During this episode, we also found out that Rebecca Sutter, who is a suspect in Lila’s case, has gone missing. This is important because Rebecca also knows that all the main characters minus Asher and Bonnie are involved in the murder and cover-up of Sam’s death. Sam died because he attacked Rebecca and the main characters believed that Sam killed Lila because he was hooking up with her and found out that she was pregnant on the night that she died. The scene starts with a close-up of Sam and Lila. Sam tells Lila that he loves her and the two proceed to make-out. During this part, they switch between having a close-up of Lila and having a close-up of Sam. The shot switches to a medium close-up of Lila as Sam tells her that he should go. As they are talking, they continue to switch between showing a close-up of Lila and Sam. After sharing a last kiss, it cuts to an extreme long-shot of Sam and Lila on the sorority house’s roof with the whole city in the background. This lasts for a second before it turns into a time-lapse of Sam walking away from Lila, it stops at a medium long shot of when Sam opens the door to leave and looks back at her one last time. After he closes the door, it switches to a close-up of Lila as she’s
