Bone Chiller is a book written by Graham Mcnamee. This book was a horror filled science fiction. The book wasn’t scary to the extent where I was terrified of not reading anymore, but it was scary to the point where I wanted to read more. I wanted to know what was going to happen to Danny and his friends. At the outset, I thought at least one of the characters was going to die.

To answer that question – no. I think that the world is full of heroes. They don’t need powers or superhuman strength, or turn green.

Dealing with the grief of losing a loved one is different for everyone, some may feel guilty about it while others may feel anger and some may just feel sadness. When a child deals with grief, it is different than that of an adult. Children can sense a feeling of loss and insecurity, some may even blame themselves and say things like “I could’ve done more” or “Why didn't i spend more time with that person?” or “If only I had done that instead of..” etc. Some children may have sensations of yearning, helplessness, confusion, sheer shock and sometimes an overwhelming feeling.

Pisters explains generally that “the concept of becoming-woman is understood as “a way of understanding transformative possibilities— the ways in which identity might escape from the codes which constitute the subject” (Pisters 79). The film begins with an unsteady understanding of Irene’s identity. It is assumed that she was invested in a marriage with fidelity and when her husband broke this, she was so distraught that she killed him along with Agustina’s mother. The act of killing her husband breaks her out of an old identity and now she is dealing with both the consequences of her actions and finding herself again. The investment she had in the marriage may have been a reason why she was blind to the violence her husband inflicted on Raimunda.
