Title: The day, after forever
Author: Erin Skiffington
The day, after forever by Erin Skiffington is a sentimental story that centres four teenagers experiencing agony of a loss loved ones and how they stood up against the circumstances demonstrating the true meaning of friendship.
In the first chapter of the story, I was devastated on how Toni lost his brother in a car accident. ‘Scott and I were like sea,’ this quote shows how the twins are very close than anyone showing an importance of family. This relates to me how my sister and I are very close, closer than any of my family members, like how I walk my sister every day at school and how I always have no choice to go her lousy parties when she get invited by her friends. I also find very understanding, interesting and true how Toni and Scott have their disagreements because to me, without any disagreements and arguments would be boring. Before the car accident, Scott was found drunk by Toni. Their family rule for parties that drinking is forbidden, until it got broken. This story makes me realise how life can’t always go as planned and how we have to accept the consequences and move on. I admire Toni because I felt how she had to experience a devastating report from her parents about the death of her brother. It’s understandable that it takes time to move on; even when we already accepted it we can still feel the nostalgic lingering inside of our memories.
Jeff found out that his leukaemia came back, so he organises a holiday to Lake Tarawera so that he can spend his remaining life with his friends. Personally, I found it very difficult to accept that my life is going to end because there was a time that I experienced a dreadful and painful fever; typhoid. I was sent to the hospital and became anti-social for two whole months. Unlike me, Jeff fully accepted his illness and planned out how he’s going to make his remaining life worth living.
