Period 8, Post 8: Letting Go

Hello, everybody. I hope you all had a nice week. Certainly, it was a much calmer one, after the craziness of the past two!!

This week, in class, we've discussed how the candlelit vigil in the cornfield on the one-year anniversary of Susie's murder serves as a way to "say goodbye" for both Susie and those she left behind through death. What does it mean, for the mourners to "let go" of Susie? How is Susie "moving on," as well? How does her father's reaction show that he has entered the final stage of grief, acceptance, as well?

Your response will count as a homework assignment for the second marking period.

    In my opinion "Let Go" it means "acceptance" because letting go is to accept that,that person is not here with us no longer and that we accept that we can think about them but not holding them back
