I think it is so sad how Esther's father died. But I think it is weird how her mother didn't even cry when he died. Esther wasn't allowed to go to the funeral because she was only a kid so it had all seemed unreal to her. It's really sad when she starts thinking about all the stuff she could have learned from him if he hadn't died. "I couldn't understand why I was crying so hard. Then I remembered that I had never cried for my father's death...I laid my face to the smooth face of the marble and howled my loss into the cold salt rain." It is really sad. I bet if Esther's father was still alive, she would not be this way. She has a lot of unresolved things in her life, her father being one of them. She needs to get her life sorted out. Then things will get better for her. She really needs a dad.
