Book: Mercy
Author: Jodi Picoult
Pages read: 59-207
As I said
before I am not usually a fan of Jodi Picoults writing style because I find it
repetitive so as expected my predictions came true. Mia and Cam did start an
affair and I really just had to roll my eyes. However, I am intrigued on the
possible back story between Cam and Mia. I was wondering if it would end at
simply Cam had seen her from a distance on a vacation, I really hope that it
doesn’t. I was thinking about what Mia represents to Cam, I think she
represents the freedom that he will probably never have. He is anchored to his
town while she has no anchor to keep her anywhere. I predict that by the end of
the book Allie will find out and probably react in an extreme way maybe by
killing Mia or herself. That is my prediction for the end of the book.
As far
as the trial goes I am predicting that Jamie will go free. I think that everyone
can sympathize with him, what he did was out of love. I don’t understand Cam’s
frigidity towards Jamie, I think Cam might be jealous of the love that Jamie
had for his wife because he does not love Allie enough to kill her. I was
wondering while I was reading about the defense that Graham was going to use
why there are so many holes in the assisted suicide case. I think that if they
used all the neighbors and even the confession they could for sure get
assisted suicide to pass. I’m hoping that Jamie gets what he wants; he has been
through so much already I think that if the trial continues for much longer he
will not be able to handle it.
As far
as text connections go, most are obvious text to world connections for example
the trial, the cheating and the 60:40 ratio in the relationship. It is hard for
me to connect with this book because It is about older issues, teenagers don’t
generally deal with cancer, cheating or murder trials.
