Hey again! This is Ryan and Natasha. Welcome yet again to tell about Each Little Bird that Sings here in book club. Today we are going to discuss Section 2 pages 57-100.

Summary:
In the second section, Comfort’s cousin, Peach, comes, (much to Comfort’s dismay…there’s a little bit of E.L.B.T.S. humor for you!) and Comfort talked to her mom about having to watch Peach that night. She begged, and after a long time, her mother said that Comfort didn’t have to watch him. Instead of going to Aunt Florentine’s funeral that day, Comfort makes the decision that she would like to just sit in her closet. But after, a while, she gets dressed up into her funeral clothes and heads downstairs for the funeral, because she decides that it is the right choice.  Peach is misbehaving a lot at Aunt Florentine’s funeral, destroying her clothes, make up, and hair, when he clings to her lifeless body during his tantrum. After the viewing Comfort yelled at Peach and Peach begins crying. Declaration then shows up at the funeral, which is great, and what Comfort wanted, but she is acting very mean to Comfort.

Respond – If you saw a loved one in a casket being prepared for a funeral, how would you cope with your feelings?  Would you just sit there watching, letting all of your emotion bottle up inside of you?  Or would you cry, using up all the Kleenex and Snowberger handkerchiefs?
