Raphael Reflection

P.S. I Love You was a very touching story about a woman named Holly and how she had to overcome the death of her husband Gerry. Right away I was intrigued by this book because it was something easy to read and it really made me want to keep reading. It was a love story, and I personally love love stories so to me, reading this book wasn't work, it was fun. Reading this book made me appreciate many of the things I have in my life now, and it made me see how hard it is for someone to lose someone they love so much. There were alot of thigns that made me smile while reading this, and alot of cute things that were put together perfectly, like the totle of the book being what Gerry writes at the end of every message. However, there were a lot of things that I didn't understand while reading this and this is why this disscusion was very helpful. It made me think of all the different twists that can be put on all of the stituations Holly encountered. It gave me an idea of how wrong I could be in interperating something and how some parts of the book are meant differently than always read. It gave me good things to think about when I went back into the novel to find quotes, and that helped me pick up things i may have missed when reading it. Having someone to talk to about the book made it even more enojyable because this is a book I could talk about forever, like it was a real life story, because many times that's how i felt when reading it. Overall I think this project was a great experience with reading this book and it really helped me learn alot about the book.
