Final Memory

In the book " The End or Something Like That" the main chaacter Emma could not let go of her old life. The conflict being of letting go and always remembering the memories she had with her bestfriend. With that conflict she lied, and sometimes couldn't understand what was going on, whether to do something or not, and even asking herself, where she was at the point. Not saying in a way where the death of her bestfriend wasn't letting her move on, losing someone is hard and I understand as well as many other do. The hardest step is accepting they're gone & that's what Emma just about had a problem with. She couldn't let go of her old life, couldn't accept that it was time to move on and continue to try and be happy. Overall, she did overcome this conflict, but to this day many suffer thru it & are in Emma's or were in her shoes. The conflict is relatable, and very trus. Moving on isn't easy, but neither impossible.

Saying I Wouldn't

In the book "The End Or Something Like That" by Ann Dee Ellis, Emmy recently had lost her friend and also a teacher, although she didn't think Ms. Homeyer was kind. " I wasn't going to go to Ms. Homeyer's funeral." " Why would I go to her funeral?", "but for some reason, I felt like I had to go. Like I was supposed to go". So then Emmy did end up going with her two classmates that were also in Ms. Homeyer's class. Emmy knew it was the right thing to go to her funeral, but she felt like she had done a lot to hurt Emmy, but she wasn't all bad. Although though, she was saying one thing to herself about not going, yet she went. That then just tells me that she isn't a bad person, that she knows what's right from wrong, and if she feels like she has to do something she isn't exactly fully comfortable with, she faces it and sucks it up. As a character in the book she seems to really think one thing to herself but ending up saying another. So showing then, she thinks before she speaks and goes over what she's about to decide on and not make the wrong choice.

Learning to live

In the book " The End or Something Like That" by Ann Dee Ellis, two friends that planned to have forever together, didn't. Kim the friend of the main character Emmy, had passed away, leaving Emmy with many unanswered questions. "Why Kim" "how did she know it was gonna happen". The message I was able to get through this book was that sooner or later you'd have to let go, and learn how to live being happy. Emmy thinking to herself that Kim wouldn't have wanted her down all the time trying to change things from her perspective, but couldn't. I was able to understand that you have to learn to live without some certain people but always know that they are there. That's simple and maybe too easy for an amazing books like this but, it's true. Learning to live on with life might be hard but isn't impossible, you should be happy and always know that they are they with you in your heart.
