Questions By Elisa: Answers supplied by Krista, Birte, and Elisa (John wasn't in school.) 1.) What do you think the author tries to symbolize by using the plural we instead of the singular I? we feel she uses we to describe that they have always been identified as three sisters instead of singular. They based them selves off of the three sisters in hamlet 2.) What do you think the main mood of the novel is? The main mood of the book i think, is togetherness because going off of the last question the author uses we instead of i as a whole instead of a singular person. 3.) What is the overriding emotion of the book?

Summary of the Meeting By Krista Muska: On Friday, March 16, our group met to discuss the second third of our book. Although we didn't have any food again, Birte still ran the discussion. We talked about the sense of unity the book displays because of the use of the word "we" instead of "I." Although it represents unity, it isn't a good unity. The three sisters always identify themselves as a whole, and not as individuals, and how, like the weird sisters in Shakespeare's MacBeth, they are always thought of as one. We talked about how, as this book progresses, the sisters will find themselves and individualize themselves. They will grow together and apart.
