Blog post: The virgin suicides

          In the book the virgin suicides by Sophia Coppola, is an intense literature of five sisters. These five Lisbon sisters attempt to suicide one by one. While the neighborhood boys are watching them from afar. The first one to attempt suicide was the youngest      Lisbon. She had killed herself on her small kitty pool. Then came Cecilia, and the rest of the Lisbon sisters.

          While I read the beginning of this book, I kept thinking why the girls wanted to kill themselves. I though t that it was because of the mother, but not the father. It was said in the story that the father couldn’t understand why the mother was so strict. She wouldn’t hit them or anything, but she didn’t let them hang around with the kids around them. It was almost like they had to be safe wit her. 

                   This story was kind of confusing me but, I think when I finish it all the pieces might come together. I want to know why the girls wanted out from their lives. I know that there is a twist somewhere in the story. I just have to find it!
