In Doll Bones, there are three 12 year old friends named Zach, Poppy, and Alice. The day they became friends they’ve been playing a continuous ever-changing game -a game that takes place in a world populated with pirates and thieves, mermaids, and warriors. Ruling over them all is the Great Queen, a bone – china doll imprisoned in a cabinet, cursing those who displease her. But then one day Zach’s father threw away his action figures.

    Analysis of a Doll's House

    A Doll’s House has several high points that lead up to what I’ve considered the most defining moment. When Torvald finally reads the letter Krogstad (a fellow schoolmate and an employee at the bank) wrote revealing that it was not from Nora’s father that she borrowed money, but from him, what follows was totally unexpected by me. It seems that the situation of her husband falling ill and the decisions she had to make in regards to that, forced her to grow. In the end, Nora makes a decision that she doesn’t want to be married to her husband Torvald any longer, and she tells him so. The line, “We’ve been married for eight years. Doesn’t it occur to you that this is the first time the two of us, you and I, husband and wife, have had a serious conversation?” (Isben 1879 p. 590) says Nora, licks at where she is going with this conversation between the two of them.…

    Matilda Bone

    * Matilda, 14 years old and raised at the manor where her late father was clerk, is left at Blood and Bones Alley where she is to be apprenticed to Red Peg the Bonesetter. She is ill-suited to the job, as her education has been more intellectual than practical. She learned to read and write Latin and Greek from her father, and after his death, the manor priest, Father Leufredus, tutored her in theological matters. (The reader also learns that Matilda's mother abandoned Matilda and her father when the girl was a baby.) Matilda's talents include petitioning the saints for sympathy; they answer her, almost never quite the way she hopes. She is very good at fasting and lying prone on the floor to pray, and is inventive enough with her spoken Latin to create expressions of frustration such as "Saliva mucusque -- or, "spit and slime." None of these skills, of course, is particularly useful to Peg, but patience and a degree of firmness are essential to bone setting, and Peg applies these qualities to the task of shaping Matilda into a proper apprentice. Slowly, Matilda begins to master her duties, even if she still wishes Father Leufredus would return for her. New people enter her life. Doctor Margery is a woman physician with a quick temper, a curt tongue and a practical competence, and Grizzl Wimplewasher, Peg's friend, is a woman who tries to be cheerful in the face of her crippling ailment. There's another Matilda, called Tildy, a servant in the house of the eminent physician Master Theobald, Nathaniel, the apothecary whose eyesight is failing, and Peg's husband, Tom, a traveling healer. Gradually Matilda starts to understand that…

    There is always a time in a person's life when they feel threatened by the fact that sometimes imminent death comes sooner to some than others.

The remaining four members of her family all deal differently with their grief throughout the book. Her father begins to obsess over finding the killer, her mother turns in on herself, beginning an affair with the investigating officer, and then running off to California to keep from dealing with the pain, and her sister, Lindsey keeps to herself but become’s very curious about the nearby neighbors and how they may be involved with Susie’s death. Although Susie has been murdered when she was introduced, oddly enough, this story is also about coming of age. She watches the life she left behind, from her own personal heaven, and how everything begins to shift and settle without her in it.…
