This chapter made me feel really sad. It felt like, as
Kristen’s family broke down more and more, the house was showing the rotten
corruption within rather than the perfect American Dream House. I increasingly
held similar feelings to Kristen, believing that she needed to leave that house
as soon as possible before she hit a point that she couldn’t turn back from as
well. And of course, I wanted her and her siblings to leave before they could
possibly get cancer.
The
fact that she didn’t believe the protests and held her father’s views surprised
me. I would have thought her to be someone who would see the sense in what the
protesters were saying and then understand why weird things would happen in her
area. I liked that Marc was interested in it though and thought maybe he would
win her over and they could protest together. Reading the end of the chapter
made me want to be absolutely and completely done with the book.
