Blog Post #6: ~SPOILER ALERT~What really hard things are happening in the text?

I have just finished my book, Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick, the third book of the Hush, Hush series. The book is mainly around Nora and Patch’s love. Patch is a fallen angel that is supposed to be Nora’s guardian angel. In the beginning Nora’s memories of things that happened after May were gone. She was kidnapped by her biological father, Hank Miller, and held captive for three months. After being held captive her memory was wiped clean and she was thrown into the cemetery to be found. Patch helped Nora by getting his wings torn off by Hank, which makes his position of Nora’s guardian angel disappear. Soon Nora finds out that a guy she bumps into that now goes by the name of Jev is Patch. There are many hard things that are happening in this book, like people being forced to do things they don’t want to do.

In the book Nora is forced to live her life like nothing ever happened to her. This is hard because she does not remember when she was with Patch and she keeps having flashbacks of him. She is forced to go on with her life by her mother while people around her are gossiping about how she was kidnapped and how she could forget everything for months before she was kidnapped. I thought that Nora’s mother was being a bit too hard on Nora. Her mother is just pushing her back into the world like nothing happened to her.

Nora was also being forced to live a life without her boyfriend Patch. She keeps seeing Patch, but can’t remember who he is until she sees her old friend Scott Parnell. Scott tells all he knows about the past few months which makes Nora’s memories slowly come back to her. Soon after Scott’s talk Nora confronts Patch and asks him some questions. Patch says that he can’t be with her because he is working for Hank and doesn’t want Hank to hurt her. I think that a life where you are forced to do things you are told to do is a life that is not fair to the person being bossed around.

As I finished reading Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick I realized that it is a hard thing when you are being forced to do things that you don’t want to do. I believe that having to be pushed around is a horrible thing and is a big issue in the real world. People around the world are being forced to do things that they don’t want to everyday. I think that people should be strong and not be pushed around to do things that they don't want to do.
