statement in particular stuck out to me in The Feather Pillow. After I reread the story‚ I wondered was it Jordan’s poor judgment that caused Alicia’s death‚ or was it the lack of profound love? I myself think it was both. If he hadn’t given up so easily or possibly gotten a second opinion‚ then she might’ve had a stronger chance of survival. Maybe if he had shown her more love and affection she wouldn’t have gotten sick to begin with. The Feather Pillow took me on a roller coaster ride‚ but
