19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult has a lot of messages, that everyone can learn. It talks about a main character, Peter, and how the story of the shooting comes and how people react to this situation in different ways. Another main character in this novel, is Josie Cormier. Josie was injured a little in this shooting. In the begining, Peter's plan was for Josie not to get hurt. But, Josie's mother is a judge. Her names is Ale Cormier. One difficult thing that Josie mother has to do is balance her motherhood life with her court life. So, Alex has to go to court and fight for this case. She is the prosecuter's defendent. How could Alex fight for this crime in court, when her daughter was injured in that same crime? I believe, this a difficult situation in Alex's part. She has to choose one side, either her family or her job. This decision is very hard for one to accomplish because one can not turn down their job too.
My reading progress so far is okay. This book is getting very difficult for me to read. It takes me a long time to read it. Overall, I really enjoy 19 Minutes and I hope you will too.

You have the story wrong all along, Alex Cormier, Josie's mother WAS a prosecuter's defendent but at the time of the accident she's the judge. And she can turn down her job, she must do so because her daughter was injured and she will not be impartial.
ReplyDeleteThe book itself is not really dificult to read, in fact the vocabulary and grammar are pretty easy to understand.
