Prediction Post #2
From the beginning of the book Identical we learn that Kaeleigh is sexually abused, and that her life is very hard and lonely. Kaeleigh's mother is never home and she doesn't have a good relationship with anyone in her family, and almost nobody outside of her family. Kaeleigh has handeled her hard life by cutting herself and drinking or vomitting after over eating. I predicted that in the end she would lash out and hurt her father (or herself) or confied in someone she trusts very much so that she can finally put her father in jail and recover from what she's lived with. I hoped this is what would happen because then Kaeleigh could finally get the help she needs. I also predicted something as drastic as suicide considering the conditions she's living in, and in the book she does attempt it but her attempt isn't successful. Although the books ending is very unexpected and very different from some of the other things I predicted I'm usually right or close, but not always.

Nice prediction. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to read something with an ending you did not see coming!
ReplyDeleteThis book really sounds good! Why did you think the prediction that you did?
ReplyDeleteTaylor: Umm because I think almost anybody would consider suicide and drastic things like cutting if they lived a life like Kaeleigh/
ReplyDeleteOlivia: Thanks
Aunt B: Yess.
As B would say, "huh, didn't see that coming"
