Response post: Chelsea Dunn

My response is to Melissa's blog post. I really liked how she was able to relate to the story through her own experiences. When Melissa stated, "The fact that she refers to herself as 'comic relief' just seems so negative to me." this was interesting to me, because it made me think about what i really thought about the situation. I agree with her that it did seem somewhat negative, but i think the character was finally seeing how her life played a part in her parents, and think it helped to character grow as a person. I also like when Melissa is talking about seeing the signs of something so obvious as an affair. And i agree with her that the people do present themselves in certain ways to come off as normal or something other than themselves.
