This entire story really tugged on a multitude of my
emotions. I was really sucked into the storyline and felt intertwined with the
two characters all the way to the bittersweet end. (Molly trading Jada’s life
for money)
Jada and Molly:
Jada proves to have more humanity and depth to her than her
sociopathic tendencies, and has this fierce ability to love.
Molly who has been alone since her exhile shows this
constant longing for closeness and intimacy of another human.
Whenever I read a story I always try to relate myself to one
of the main characters and put myself in their shoes. Who did you relate with
most? Would you have made the same decision?
Jada comes off as very harsh but then shows a softer, more compassionate side. Molly on the other hand, comes off as a normal person but then turns in the person she 'loves". I cant really make a connection to either character. I do not think I would like getting cut and killing people like Jada, but I sometimes come off as harsh to people until I explain the background information behind my comments. I do not think I would have called the cops on Jada either. Molly had been alone for while and turned in the only friend she really had. As long as I trusted Jada not to hurt me, I would not have called the cops. Someone to talk to is almost always more beneficial than money.
ReplyDeleteI definitely related to Molly more than Jada; and I think I honestly would have made the same decision. In fact, I don't even think I would have started to cut myself after she was gone. This may make me a bad person - or maybe it just shows how squeamish I am about needles and cutting and carving etc.
