In the book to all the boys Ive loved before by Jenny Han it tells the stories of the main character, Laura Jean, and all the boys she's ever loved. Every time she loves someone she writes a letter to him confessing her love, she "writes like he will never read it. Because he never will." (like the blurb states.) Laura Jean keeps all of her love notes in a little hat box of her mums. Laura has 2 sisters and her dad, her mum had passed away when they were a little bit younger.
While I was reading I was wondering who blocks justice. In the story Margot, Lauras older sister, and her are talking about their mum. Before she passed away their mother had told Margot, Laura Jean and Kitty to stay together no matter what, "song girls forever." I think that the three of them took that to mean don't let anything change. I believe this because in the book Margot is leaving for college and it is really upsetting Kitty and Laura Jean, more than it should. So I think the way the three susters percieved their mothers loving message is what is blocking justice because it is keeping them from moving on.
In conclusion I think Laura Jean, Margot and Kitty are the ones who are blocking the justice from themselves.
Flo--this is so interesting!! Having read this book over the summer I never really thought about who blocks justice in this book. After reading your post, I realized that what you're saying is very true! When I first read the "Song girls forever" saying in thr book, I took it to be a cute way that the sisters stayed connected. But now that I read your perspective, it made me think of how much they really overthought the saying! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I loved your conclusion it was really in depth and good for sharing your point of view. Also you had a lot of good supporting evidence.
