Lovely Bones Themes
The Lovely Bones
1. The title of the book, “The Lovely Bones”, has a lot of strong and deep meaning behind it. In the story, a girl named Susie Salmon is raped and killed by a creepy neighbor who had been watching her for some time. The story then goes on to explain how her family coped with the hardships of losing her, which wasn’t easy because they loved her so much. Susie was actually a very loved person. Everyone she met fell in love with her. Making “The Lovely Bones” the title of the book is significant to the story because it shows how much she was loved even though she wasn’t with her family and friends anymore.

Moving on and going on with their lives was hard for them, which is something else that they had to accept. The lesson learned is that no matter how hard it is to let go of someone that dies, you have to move on or else you won’t be able to live a normal happy life again. I think that the author’s purpose of writing this book was to show that tragedy occur in a lot of peoples lives, and the author was trying to give hope to those who have lost someone that was a big part of their lives. One of the motifs in the story used to enhance the theme is Susie’s room. It shows that she is still a part of the family household even though she no longer lives there anymore. Every time someone walked into her room, they knew she was there in
