The Lovely Bones

Think about what has happened to Susie. Do you think she considers herself "trapped" in her heaven? Do you think she sees it as a perfect world? Explain your answer.

I think Susie's father meant, when he said the penguin was "trapped in a perfect world," that the penguin is in the snow, where it belongs. Nothing can harm or hurt the penguin because it is alone. I think Suise considers herself trapped in have because she's there and she can't talk to anyone on earth. I don't think she sees it as perfect, being that she can't let anyone know what happened to her or where clues to find her are.

One day, Armando, Racheal, Skyler, and I were carefully planning a trip to go to the mountains. We decided that we wanted to go during Christmas, so that the beautiful, white snow will glimmer in the sun. On December 21st, the day we got out for our holiday break, our trip started. It took us eight hours to get to our destination. Wow! What a great sight. The mountains were huge and towered over the town. The next day, we made our decision to go skiing. As we were quietly riding up the ski-lift, Skyler's shoe fell off. He quickly tried to reach down and catch it, but he started slipping out. Racheal was sitting beside him, and tried to grab his arm to help him back up. It did no good. He fell out of the ski-lift. Me and Armando both laughed until went to him, and realized he was dead.
