This book is about a girl who has Asperger's syndrome, and her experience of her brother getting shot, who is very important to her because he helps her through situations. She also experiences being an outcast in her school because of her odd behavior. Her father also deals with depression because of the brother's death. While reading this book, I had one question about the book, which was whose perspective was missing in the book, and what would it be like if I put it back?
I think that the answer to this question is that the father's perspective is missing in the book because it is mainly about the girl and her father overcoming these problems, even though it is in the girl's perspective. Another reason why I think that the father's perspective is missing is that the book shows a lot of the father and his depression of his son's death, and I think that it will be nice if the book would show the father's opinions and thoughts about the events happening in the book. It would show the "normal" thoughts and reaction about Devon's (the brother) death. It would also compare the two sides of reactions and thoughts of each event. It would also show the father's depression more easily and it's reaction to Caitlin (the girl)'s actions. It would be nice because the father can recall more memories of Devon than Caitlin and he can show how dear he was to the father. Furthermore, he can tell how connected the community was to Devon and his thoughts on closure.
Overall, I think that the answer to the question is that the father's perspective is missing from the book and it would be depressing if it was put back into the book.
