The novel Dreamland. So much to say but so little time. I started reading Dreamland about two weeks ago, and I must say the character Caitlin is one awkwardly unique girl. Let me tell you something, she is one of the most bravest person throughout the book, why you may ask. she loved a man, a man that mistreated her and she never let him go. her simple life of being the youngest child in her family was rough to come against to her older sister. Yet when Caitlin's sister left and their mother was brought into tears and heartbroken. Caitlin took part into her sisters " perfect" life. Starting with cheer leading and on.
Caitlin talks about how she met the most ungodly amazing guy at the gas station. But like in life we can know everything perfect comes with flaws. He wasn't much of your typical guy that would say the wrong thing and just get dumped. he abused Caitlin at the toughest times throughout the book. You can tell how she felt and how her emotions came in. She wasn't just scared but she was just a girl confused and didn't know what to do but love him dearly. I mean how many girls do you know would stay witha guy that would physically hurt her.
If I was Rogerson I would have had a little white lie turned into a big deal. If i were him I would think it's just an accident but not after the first time it's out of control and I'd have nothing to worry about but, I'm cluttered and confused and just keep going with it as if it was a dirty secret that will never be scared. This wasn't something like a rumor at school that everyone would spill the peas about. this was abusive relationship, and very unhealthy. If Rogerson had his side. It would be as if nothing happened and she would be making it all up. but soon karma can get you back as I always say. You realize something is being done. I will not say, why? Because the suspension may ruin the ending but If i were Caitlin i would have done something. I would never be treated such pain and love someone the same time. it would seem impossible.
If I could change the ending to the novel. It would be the way I pictured it. As I see it, the couple together somewhere far, Caitlin waiting to make a move to run away from her. she would have give him the pain she gave her and she would just run at all might back home packing as if there was no tomorrow. Writing the heartfelt sorry note to her mother and next move was to start a new life somewhere far from the troubles where no one would know where to look. And she would get her happy ending.
