Neglect is an obvious theme of the novel. First, Sarah has visual neglect, which does not allow her to see anything on her left side. People and food magically appear, when they walk into her line of vision or she rotates her plate of food. She struggles to use the left side of her body for simple tasks. Reading, drawing, and writing become nearly impossible and she needs signals such as a diamond watch to be able to locate the left side of her body. The visual neglect turns her world a full 180 degrees, and the whole message behind the novel is that sometimes you have to slow down and enjoy the little things you have always misses. 2. As stated before, another point of neglect is from Sarah’s mother. Since Sarah’s older brother passes away

Walking with a pronounced limp, Sarah lives with the idea of "crippled" and "twisted" every day, but she also sees herself as a drunk and as, basically, a prostitute, telling Eddie at one point that she owes her livelihood to the last "rich man" she dated. She also sees herself as a writer who

She is on a quest to find her father back in her old hometown, and as she’s there she does not remember any of it. She did not have the best family life because her mother would call her uncivilized and her brother was in the war. She does specifically talk about a childhood memory where her father made her brother stay in a cage, until one day he “escaped” and started drowning, which is always in the back of her mind. A family friend, Paul, tells her that her father is missing and she is relieved because he never forgave her for her divorce, so as long as he is alive she does not want to find him, symbolizing

In the beginning of the novel Sarah demonstrates characteristics of bewilderment. Sarah, a 16 year old high-school dropout, is rethinking her life as she says, “Maybe my whole life I’ve been living inside of an imaginary painting” (King, 54). Sarah is confused and feels that her childhood was a lie. The readers realize along with her that her parents put on an act to protect her from the fact that they hate each other. This communicates the sense of feeling trapped within lies thought to be true, and addresses the message, the root of the problem is always bigger than what is expected. Similarly, Sarah, the protagonist, asserts her latest assessment regarding herself and her mental state. She says, “I am not going crazy. I do not need a psychologist. I decide I am an artist inside of a tornado that will not let me go” (King, 128). Sarah decides she is in a mental state where she cannot portray her feelings. She uses this excuse of being stuck in a tornado to reject the fact that eventually she will need to get her life back on track and accept who she is. This is another one of Sarah’s shenanigans to try to be original, and by doing this she finding a reason to avert from being a “normal” person. People today encounter the same situation in everyday life by using excuses to get around inevitable things. Sarah’s manifestation of change continues in the middle of the story.

Pg1, P2, L4 - Because you are introducing her birth mother in this paragraph as well as her adoptive/foster mother, I feel as though it would aid your piece if you clarified Laurie’s relation to Chris sooner rather than later.

This is because, everyone can see what she feels, but they cannot feel what she feels.

He doesn’t know the feeling of not being able to embrace his own kids, or walk quickly enough to the bathroom, without wetting yourself. Sarah feels lonely because she is a thirty year-old woman who has to be treated like a child because she cannot be independent.
