Since I have not been able to write any decent blog posts since finishing my books, I have decided to go back in time. I am going to write a reflection on the free verse book Life on the Refrigerator Door. To me this book was so easy to read because it was real life, ways people live and real issues happening to life like people. I couldn’t imagine living without my mom. What could have been going through her daughters head? I could not even imagine the emotions and feelings.
The typical teenager drama must have faded over time but the memory of her mother would always stay close to her heart. This book makes its reader realise how important family is and that, putting effort into relationships with your parents is always worth it.
I never want to have to closely relate to this book, as it would kill me if my mother were so sick or in pain. However my mom and Claire’s mom are quite similar in the ways that both are extremely strong willed, and self reliant with a soft spot for their children.
This book made me appreciate all that my mom does for me and made me want to keep her to myself forever.
I feel that the author was trying to make the reader appreciate their mothers. Also the author is making a point that a mother daughter relationship is an important thing and that if they are breaking down they deserve to be worked on,. communication is important.
Like many teanagers, my relationship with my mother is atrained at times. howebver in the end I know she loves me and that I love her and nothing will ever change that.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you think was the authors purpose for writing this book? What questions do you still have? It is interesting the type of responses that reading can evoke.
