Suzy's mommy has a false daughter. How? It all started on a day where Suzy's mom went to her first visit to Montana. Suzy's mom took Suzy and Christopher to a dinner, and they were having a nice talk until things began to get too quiet. They did not have much to talk about, and when the waitress came over to ask them what Suzy, Christopher, and Suzy's mom wanted to order, you just see Daphne, Suzy's mother, sweet talking with the waitress asking her so many questions in such a polite manner. The next day, Suzy saw her mom in the waiting room and the "false daughter" was the waitress, Daphne took the waitress out to eat and bought her clothes, treated her like her actual daughter but in reality, the waitress had no relation to Daphne. Christopher and Suzy are having such a wonderful relationship, and to top it all of they are going to have a baby! Suzy is thrilled, she is anticipating everyday for her labor day. "Hello. Daniel." the baby, Daniel, was born and oh what glee did this family have. Having Daniel around was hard because Christopher and Suzy were not rich and did not have much food to give the baby. Suzy in the story you can see how she has grown, she always talked about sex and she would expose how people are in bed, now she just keeps it to herself. When the narrator said the deeds that Suzy does for the baby you can see that Suzy does as much as possible to keep her baby in good condition. As the story keeps going in chronological order in the way that the events of her mom's accidents happened, you see that the narration changed from second person to Suzy talking, speaking to the reader. Suzy was talking about all the good things her mom has done for her and how her mom was always there and now that Suzy's mom is in the hospital about to die, Suzy did not want to be there for her. When Penelope ends up visiting, they talk about how selfish Suzy was for not being there for her own mom. Suzy did not feel sorry because what she did, was done. This story ends with Suzy saying that she is going back to her home and she is going to be with her family, happily.
Quotation:
Suzy said "We will be laughing" (Sonnengberg 273).
Reaction:
Through out this story you see Suzy grow as a character and she always had problems, either at home, school, or love. Suzy always wanted to see the good side in her downs. Suzy tried to always be happy, but failed when her mom would be in the picture and intrude, or ruin the moment. Suzy was seeking nothing but her happiness, she would replace it with sex or found things to do to take her mind of her problems. In the end, you see that she says we will be laughing. When she says "we" she is saying that she included people in her life that bring joy. Suzy laughing shows how her character went form one of the most misunderstood children, to the most happiest by looking deeper into life and coming to find that life's only good, when you feel happy for the right reasons.
