Diary

This book reminds me of a sad love letter that is supposed to be personal, but somehow everyone finds out. This is written by the wife of the husband who killed himself. She writes as if he is going to read what she wrote some day, even though hes dead. She blames him for her horrible life, and writes as if she wishes she made a different decision. She never says she does not love him though, only that she wishes things did not turn out the way they did. She does not want to have to clean up the tracks that her husband made; she doesn't want to feel responsible for his mistakes. It wasn't her fault that he killed himself, and now she has to fix all the rooms that her husband vandalized and made disappear. Diary, has many inner connections to feelings and emotions that help portray how the author wants the reader to feel about the husband and the widow. The missing rooms and the suicide help us understand what kind of image we see the husbands as; helps us decide what we think of the relationship the two share.
