Mom, you're crazy
I mostly noticed this:
* Mrs Lisbon is someone I can't understand at all. The book mentions the type of music that she was listening in the house and is described as "what you listen when someone dies". During homecoming, Therese talks about Cecilia for a moment. She claims the rest of the sisters are not like her, they only want to live if anyone would let them. All these references about life and death make me think that the Lisbon family is far from getting over what happened to Cecilia.
* Why did everyone think it was so obvious that Trip and Lux were going to be King and Queen of Homecoming? Specially when people thought they were crazy, as Therese mentions at some point.
I like that title, and I completely agree with it. I think Mrs. Lisbon is too overprotective of her daughters (as I bet everyone else thinks). However, it was interesting at the same time that the boys noticed the mother looked like her head was somewhere else (what she claimed as a headache). Do you guys think that Mrs. Lisbon is/has struggled with something in her life and tries to protect her daughters by keeping them in the house?
ReplyDeleteSecond, I think it is obvious that Trip and Lux are going to be named Homecoming king and queen because, as we talked in class today, Trip has SWAG and he is voted for by the class. We read he was already voted as Best Personality, Athlete, etc. It is interesting, though, that Lux is voted queen...
