Post 03/20

Hey I just finished reading the assigned section for tuesday and I thought I'd write a post about it. This section of the book is definately where the climax has to be. For starters, Lloyd finally dies and at his funeral Charmey is killed when the Spudnik somehow explodes. After all that has happened Elliot wants to meet with Yumi to apologize for what he has done to her. Yumi winds up getting drunk and she meets Elliot at the liberty falls motel where Elliot then proposes to Yumi. Yumi says no, which is one of the few times in the book where I believe she actually makes the correct decision. While Yumi is at the motel, her son gets sick from eating dirt at the funeral and Cass is forced to drive him to the hospital. After Cass returns from the hospital she tells Yumi about what happened. Yumi doesn't seem to even care about what happened to her son, so Cass yells at Yumi, saying that she is careless. As I mentioned, this has to be where the climax of the book is. One question I would like to ask is why does Yumi seem to make all the wrong decisions? I believe that the reason she is such a bad mother is because of her relationship with Elliot when she was a teenager.
