Half and Half Blog

I would first like to start of by saying that I thought that this was one of the darker parts of the book (Not as close to Scar, but certainly the second in comparison to it.) The more I read this book, the more I notice these generations of very distant mother-daughter “relationships.” The two main motifs that I noticed in this story were religion and death. One element I noticed was water, which I found particularly important because of its role in the story. A dragon is also mentioned when she is talking to her mother about Bing. Rose seems like she has regrets for what happened in the past, but on the other hand her thoughts on inattention and expectation questionably seem to “keep her at peace.” I am very curious to know what the story is about. I think that it is very interesting to get an idea of how each daughter’s relationship with their mothers differentiate from on another. I am also hoping that it is on a brighter note.
