*This'll probably be a short entry because I didn't finish this week's 100 yet because it's only Tuesday. But I was reading and something big just happened:

Oh snapple! LOL! I cannot believe that Dolores' mother died. Her mother just died! It's sad how it was the same night that they had another fight about whether or not Dolores should go to college. Her mom wants her to go, but she doesn't want to. They argue about it constantly. Finally, the night her mother died, they had another fight, and her mother angrily said that Dolores could do whatever the heck she pleased. Then, all of sudden she heard police downstairs in the living room. Wally Lamb didn't even say who it was that died. It was just a "she" in the book until a new lonely paragraph said the night my mother died...

Dolores of course is upset and keeps wondering if she'd just gone to college like her mother wanted, she'd still be here. But I think Dolores' problem is her self esteem. She's super overweight and she'd been abused and raped so there's a lot of anger and hurt there. I hope she stops smoking, goes to college and get on the good track, but knowing Wally Lamb and knowing how books go, there's a high chance that it won't be like that.
