Kapitel 5-9

In these chapters, she talks about the weeks before hr death. She tells us more about a couple of characters. She starts with her dad, who was getting more and more sure of that Harvey knew something about Susie's death.  Then she tells us more about her secret love Ray Singh and continues with telling us about her classmate Ruth. They start  meet up and sit and talk together, every day when they wait for the bus. Before the memorial service, Susie's grandma arrives. She is like she always is, joyful and full of ideas. She affects the other family members by making them a bit happier. That's very clear in this quote;

"Okey children, clear the table and get your mother over here. I'm doing a makeover"

Susie is still the same up in heaven. She doesn't change much, but seems to accept the fact that she is dead. Susie has brown hair and blue eyes. She likes wearing colourful clothes like her cap with pompoms and jingle bells. Her sister and she looked very much the same. When people look at Lindsey, they see her dead sister.

       Every day she watches her family, and you really get the feeling that she cares about them. The problem is that she can't help them in any way, just see them, and all their problems.
