Throughout their relationship, Mary has been the doting housewife with the obvious impression that she will have children and do house chores. She not only murders her husband with brutality, but has an amazing well thought out plan to divert the authorities from suspecting her.

    The Lovely Bones Analysis

    The thought of losing someone that you love dearly is a dark thought that no one wants to think about. I have never lost a close love one that changes my life juristically, but in a way I affiliate with the Salmon family. As I read the ways the family reacted or how they responded to her death I know that I would not be like the mom. The mom gave up on everything. She cheated on her husband with the cop, who was investigated on the murder of Susie’s death. The mother also left her family to per sue her dreams, like live in California. In my opinion, if I were in her shoes, I would not leave my family. Family would be the one thing I would want to be with at the morbid moment of my life. Moving to California to chase my dreams at that moment of time would be wrong; unless I had my family they’re with me and for support. If I would be anyone in this moment of the story, it would be Buckley, Susie’s little brother and her father. I connect with how curious the father was about the murder of his daughter’s death. I would also be searching for evidence and wanting to know who killed her. If I was creative as Buckley and made a garden every year for his sister, I would do the same as…

    Before the victim’s death, Mary Maloney only knew one way to live, and that was to depend on her husband. Mrs. Maloney’s life depended on being orderly, as she knew the exact moment her husband would come home and prepared everything perfectly beforehand. The room was clean, the curtains were drawn, and the two lamps were alight, Mary Maloney would set up the “sideboard behind her, two tall glasses, soda water, whisky,” and fresh ice cubes in the thermos bucket, subsequently with the tick of the clock, she knew that Mr. Maloney was about to arrive home. Mary Maloney was overly dependant on her husband, as she knew every little detail of his arrival at home: “punctually as always she heard the tires on the gravel, and the car door slamming, the footsteps passing the window, the key turning in the lock,”then greeted him with a kiss. After their drinks, Mrs. Maloney asked her husband if he was “tired,” she expected him to remain silent; however, Mr. Maloney replied- Patrick Maloney broke the structure. Patrick Maloney’s every move became suspicious, although Mrs. Maloney, to the best of her abilities, was pretending that nothing was wrong, and everything was of the norm. With Patrick…

    Assisted Sucide

    This story tore at my heart strings and it showed unbelievable courage and an amazing love between a daughter and her father. I can only hope that I would have the ability to maintain calm under the pressure Susan clearly felt and hope that I, too, would make the same difficult decision; let my love one live, until it is their time. It was the more difficult decision, but one I am sure was right for her, and one she can live with.…

Connie went from despising her mother to weeping over not seeing her again. This change in feeling occurred because the meaning of her house changed for Connie. It went from being a place of poor relations with her mom to the only place for anything with her mom. After such a finite wish for her mom to be dead and all the contempt and vexation that spawned from their relationship, it is ironic that of all people for Connie to be thinking of in her final moments at home that it would be her mom.…
