Area of Interest

My area of interest for this novel is based off of "offering." I first got this idea when we looked at the meaning of a votive candle. The girls have never offered themselves to anyone, to anything, in any way. I think that death is the only thing that they know how to offer themselves to and that is exactly what they do. They feel like on Earth they have nothing to offer themselves to or are not aloud to offer themselves or maybe don't even know what they have to offer....therefore they turn to death.
