FROM JACK

Area of Interest:
1. I'm still interested in the concept of these suicides being routine.
Why?

Observations:
1. Cecilia said to the doctor that: [he's] never been a thirteen-year old girl" (5) and that: "[Cecilia's] not old enough to know how bad life gets" (5).  What happened?
2. On pg.12, there is a reference to the Virgin Mary.  This relates to the world "immaculate" (1) that we saw in the first paragraph while reading.
3.  Cecilia deep fascination with Dominic is interesting.  Why?

Questions:
1. Who, really, is this "we"?
2. How reliable is Paul Baldino?  Is his story of how he found Cecilia reliable?
3. Are the Lisbons very religious?  Something to consider:
Mr. Lisbon: "We baptized her, we confirmed her, and now she believes this crap" (12).
4. I have the same question many people posted about: Why does Cecilia insist on wearing a wedding dress opposed to the hospital gown? Pg. 13
5. Is Dr. Hornicker right?  Did Cecilia really not want to kill herself?
6. Is allowing the males to come inside at the Lisbon house going to have a positive or negative effect?
