Secrets Hidden in The Lines

"I told her she should wear that awful shirt Mama sent"(130)
Why is Opal being so mean?, well it is true she left them i'll be mad too but not in that way. She is being rude and disrespectful and i'm beginning to think she is in a rebelious stage. She is only 15 but that gives her no right to behave the way she is.

"I kept thinking about how Mama had walked all over everyone to get what she wanted"(157)
If Mama is so selfish, Why bother having children? She only thibks of herself she doesn't realize how bad she is causing to the people around her. She doesn't car if she hurts someone on the way, the only thing that matters is that she is ok. I don;t think it is fair for the girls.

Final Thoughts

This was such an exiting chapter, I can't wait to keep reading. I don't know if Garnet os going to find Mama or if she is going to be diappointed or upset when she founds Garnet. What will happen to Opal/ What will happen to aunt Julia? What about daddy? I hope all of my current thoughts someday will solve all of the questions and puzzles this book has created.
