A Fools Journey (Pg 22-38)

This chapter has really taken me back. I always get a bit creeped out with black magic.
My grandmother believes in the tarot card reading and there's a few family stories that make me believe that this stuff is real.
One time while my grandmother read her own cards she saw the death of her child. My uncle really did pass away. Another time recently I had my cards read and there were things that were told to me that no one else knew. I later came to find out that a couple close to me was getting a divorce and nobody knew about it. At the time I wondered who it could be? Then it all made sense!

The pulling or cutting of Deidre's hair is very scary and sets the tone for the rest of the chapter.
What a mystery?
Will she ever find out who is after her?
Mrs. Ruiz character makes me laugh!

I'm not sure about Panda. She is fun but I kind of don't know if she really is a part of this whole thing or just a witness to it all.

"The Fool' Journey" by Mary Chase (pg 7-21)

This book starts off with a scene of a rainy Seattle day at Pike Place and it immediately made me think of my brother Eric.  Eric used to live in Seattle and we used to go to that shopping maze as you described.  I really enjoy the way you are using adjectives like rain-washed to describe the city.

I also enjoy the images that come to mind with the way you describe this windows that glittered.

This first chapter infuses many emotions to my mind as I so wish I could relive the days I was in Seattle with my brother Eric.

He passed away in a car accident 7 years ago and I still suffer from his sudden death. Actually I think I want to write one of my papers on him.

I really think this book is very interesting from the start and I love the friendship that is being shared between Deidre and Panda. It reminds me of my friend Shelby and I.  These girls are really funny together and have dirty mouths...
