Lovely Bones ?'s

Susie's father meant that the penguin was inside this snow globe that was like his own little world where no mistakes could happen and nothing could ever go wrong. I don't think Susie considers herself trapped because she can still see Earth and she can find ways to show herself to her family. I don't think Susie thinks her world is perfect because it doesn't have the people that she loves in it and because all that there is in her world is death.

She decided that this summer was going to be great. She was going to leave behind this small town and take a Grayhound Bus to sunny California. Whenever she was on her way she met many different people. She meant a boy named Brian who was going to the same place she was. He was 16 and was going to visit his family. They got to Oxford, California and got a taxi. They split the money between them and than rode together. Whenever she got to her aunts house she saw her uncles red Ford Mustang with a note saying she could take it and have fun. She quickly put away her stuff than carefully drove to the beach. When she got there she laid her towel out and watched the blue waves roll by. Brian showed up and asked her if she wanted to go walk along the beach with him. As they were walking across the white sand she started to pick up all the seashells she could see. There were pink ones and gray ones, and big ones and small ones. While they were walking she stepped on a piece of glass. Ouch! She yelled and Brian looked at it and decided to take the glass out than drive her to the doctor. He delicately took the piece out than carried her to his car and drove her to the hospital.
