1. In this section it starts off with Lia mom coming over and her parents talk about Lia. They think that Lia if going back into her eating disorder and that she is emotionally affected by Cassie`s death and that she should see her therapist more often. Her mom wants her to move back in with her. At the end of her school day, Lia gets called to the counselors office with other people to help set up a memorial service thing for Cassie. Lia goes to the wake even though she’s not suppose to and when she puts a piece of green see glass in Cassie`s hand she sees it grab around it and sit up. Then Cassie`s puts the glass in her mouth and swallows and then gets up. At the end she meets up with Elijah again.

2. (84) I know that it is me, but it’s not me, not really. I don’t know what I look like. I can’t remember how to look.

I think that this quote really means is that like she really does know how she’s supposed to look. Because now all that she sees when she look at herself is a fat, ugly, and stupid person. She doesn't think seeing her bones stick out is a bad thing, she likes it, she thinks it’s a good thing. When she says” I know that it is me, but it’s not me, not really.” It means that she kind of knows that that is not the way she is really suppose to look like, but she feel that she has to look this way.

3. In this part of the book I couldn't really find a relation to anything, at least I couldn't think of any, but this section did make me think about how some parents can really just be too controlling of their kids when really they need to let them make the decision for themselves. Like when ` parents were fighting over on where she should live and what she should all do. I think that they should have listened more to Lia because maybe if they had listened more to her in the first place then maybe they wouldn't be in this situation.
