Children of the Sea.

I really liked this one. I like how the girl and the guy wrote in journals, about everything that was going on around them, but still speaking to each other. It reminded me of praying, when you pray (or at least from the few times I’ve done it) you think about everything you have done, but you are talking to God and asking his for stuff (luck, money, miracle, etc.)

The love that these two share is enormous, it practically jumps out of the pages and into your SOUL (if you have one). They describe their love with things they see around them (how cute). What makes it interesting is that they are both in some sort of danger.

What is kind of obvious is that the guy is more educated than the girl. That’s not what I wanted to talk about though. I really liked that the girl’s father saved her life, by buying off the soldiers that wanted his daughter. This is what a typical dad would do to save his little girl, and he didn’t think the guy was right for her. Like a normal daddy he wants the best for his daughter and he didn’t think the dude would give her that.

The pregnant girl on the boat, was really cool too, the symbol of her baby being born in the middle of all that crap (literally) is there. Then the baby is born dead, he won’t cry, and she doesn’t want to trhough him into the water, and when she does she jumps in after it, so they both die. A mother’s sacrifice, and everyone else doesn’t give a f***k crap. I guess that the fact that a baby is involved makes it all that more realistic and horrible. =’{

The ending really got me sad, because they make you think that the guy dies, and she is running away from the butterflies of bad news. He didn’t want to trough his book overboard, but has too, she didn’t want to hear the bad news, but hears it on the radio, they are both running away from something, poor souls.

  1. It was MORE sad when the tragedy of the boy was told indirectly. I think the ending could be debated too, it's a nice way to end it like that because it gives the readers hope. And that hope, is that it was a different boat. Yaay:D
