In the last section of my novel, Mia is still contemplating if she wants to wake up, or die. Her conflict is mainly man vs. self because her problem is based on her own decision. When she remembers her Dad's song "Waiting for Vengeance" she thinks her parents are sending her a message. Now that she realizes her life will be too different if she comes back so she tries to find a way to leave. When Adam finally visits her in the ICU he tells her that he needs her to stay, not for him but because she still has a whole life ahead of her. He tells her she got accepted to Julliard school, and that he would do anything to be with her. When he puts headphones on her playing her favorite Yo Yo Mamma song, she feels all these emotions and all of sudden the first thing she feels is Adams hand, and see's a bright light. So in the end Mia deciding to wake up. Even though she has lost so much she remembered the sound of the cello, and how much she loved Adam that she wasn't ready to let go.
Mia says “I have a feeling that once you live through something like this, you become a little bit invincible.”. Have you even been through something that has left you feeling like a you had a crater inside that you could never fill? Did you feel like it made you stronger emotionally? Explain how you felt, why you felt this way.
I have been through something that has had me feeling stronger than I was before. It wasn't the same as losing a life or as emotional as the book but more of strengthening myself through an accident that almost took my life. The farm accident nearly left me separated from my leg. Through this experience I have managed to change my mind set on not only how cautious I am, but the strength in my abilities. The strength to know how to solve the situation and avoid it. And this relates to the invisibility reference knowing that it will not happen again.
ReplyDeleteLike the cliche quote says "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"... well, maybe not physically, but mentally and emotionally. We have the ability to learn from our falls and mistakes so that we know not to let the same thing happen again; and in that sense we become "a little bit invincible", by building walls that keep out the things that once almost destroyed us..
