I don't understand why Esther began to cry when it was time for her to be taking her picture for the newspaper. Maybe it was the shock of finding out about Buddy. Maybe it was because of the hard decisions she would have to make and didn't know which one or ones to pick. Maybe she just felt really out of place and like her life was going no were or slipping out of her hands. I really don't know why she cried. "I felt limp and betrayed, like the skin shed by a terrible animal. It was a relief to be free of the animal, but it seemed to have taken my spirit with it, and everything else it could lay its paws on." THis quote is important to this topic but I can't think right now and don't exactly know how it all connects but it does seem to connect. It was rather strange when she cried. Maybe I'll find out later.
