I think that it is a really nice home but it seems to good for Edgar and that something has to go wrong eventually.
I think it is a pretty good deal but i can smell something fishy? something really wierd is about to happen.
I would have to say that it is a great new place to live for edgar for now, but as much as edgar has been through i would have to say that it's too good to be true
i think that edgar and bryan are going to get into arguments and fights
Is it common for parents who have had a child die to adopt or foster another child? On the one hand it seems easy to understand why the Madsens do this, but on the other, it seems out of the ordinary. What do you think?
I feel that the house is a good enviornment for Edgar, but we all know how he is. He will probably find trouble or tragedy like he always does. But I don't think the family is too good to be ture.
Yea, I agree with everyone else. This new home seems too normal for Edgar. He is so used to living in a messed up environment that it seems like something has to go sour soon.
I don't think that it's strange for parents to want to fill the void created by the death of their child, but I think Clay and Lana should've tried to work out their marital problems before taking in another child.
I think the Madsens home seem like a good place for Edgar. Somethins is bound to go wrong because nothing stays perfect forever, and mishaps seem to follow Edgar wherever he goes.
Regarding Ms. Deckard's question:
I think it's a little strange for the Madsens to adopt a foster child when they have two kids of their own. However, Brain seems more like an adult than a child. Maybe his parents feel like he's basically grown up? Sunny doesn't seem very social, so she probably doesn't reciprocate her parents' feelings. Losing Dean makes them want to help others, like Edgar - not to technically replace Dean, but to put their leftover parental feelings to use.
This book is unrealistic I think. Edgar's new life is too good to be true and I think Udall has made a mockery of Edgar and all the breaks he gets
after everything Edgar's been through is it possible for things to get worse? he has matured since leaving St devine's but i think this new home will help his mental developement even more.
but something's wrong with the family, Udall captures Sunny's adolenscents perfectly she seems like the typical teenager, but both children have such little respect for others, maybe Edgar's there to make them more appreciative?
Regarding Ms. Deckard's question: I think it makes sense that they would want to adopt another child and take in all these animals to look after because Lana wants to keep busy and distract herself from the pain of losing Dean.
