Lucky

I've spent some time annotating Lucky and trying to comprehend things a little better. I'm at the point in the book where she returns home and explains how it feels to try and live up to her parents standards. This is a point in the book where I feel as if a lot of people can relate to this situation. I have a friend for example that always feels like she has to be better than her older brother and she feels like he is the favorite child and so she feels like she can never meet those expectations.In reality though, parents will love you no matter in most cases. This girl had low self esteem before because her parents would always make comments about her weight and her appearance, he mom would always buy her clothes 3 sizes too big. Her mom said it was better that way so it keeps people guessing. Now that this girl has been raped, her self esteem has been sent in to an all time low and her friends are trying there best to help her get through this.
