When I read chapter 3 of 'Lovely Bones' its basically talked about how, on Susie's way up to heaven, she passed this girl named Ruth. Susie and Ruth went to school together yet were never close. Ruth had this dream about how Susie was running toward Ruth in the schools parking lot. But Ruth didn't know it was Susie. She was a ghost. Ruth described it as: "It was a female, I could sense that. It flew up out of the field. Its eyes were hollow. It had a thin white veil over its body, as light as cheesecloth. I could see its face through it, the features coming up through it. the nose, the eyes, the face, the hair"
There was a lot of conflict in this chapter. Like how later on, Ruth saw 2 of Susie's friend, and then how she smoked a cigarette. She was saying how, when someone dies, and their souls are going up to heaven, they touch someone. It could be just a light, gentle poke, but apparently we feel it. Like how someone says that they feel a chill, its actually a soul touching you. I think that the book it amazing so far. It really made me care for the characters, even though they are not real.
