Her Last Death ( 81 - 120 )

Summary
     From what I read so far in the story was Susy has changed in a huge way. She has become more like her mother in a way but, not as bad. Shes hanging out with boys and even had a boyfriend. Her mom is becoming even worse. On Susy's 16 birthday her mom try to set her up with this boy that she liked so that she could lose her virginity on her birthday. However, in the end her mom ends up sleeping with the guy and the next day acted like she wasn't in the wrong. It was Susy's birthday and she would do such a thing. Susy has been going through a lot with her mother beating her and acting crazy. It seems like the relationship between them is only getting worst.

Quote " She pulled the cap off the needle keeping her eyes away from the gleaming thread of metal. Down the needle jammed through the rubber seal of the medicine bottle, and up it came again full of   its own clear, cold blood. She looked down on her mother's thigh, blue and green and purple from countless injections." ( Sonnenberg 103 )

Reaction
        I like this quote a lot . It explains in great detail about what her mother is doing to herself with her new drug addiction. I can picture what her mom is doing in my head. I can see how much she wants it in my head. I just shows how much this is affecting Susy. It shows how crazy her mom is for this drug and how she would put anything on the line for it.
