A conflict in the book

Submitted by love-u on February 26, 2008 - 11:57.

One of the conflicts in this book is when Helen and James are trying to find a body for her. Why I thought that this was a conflict is because it was a little hard to find the right body for Helen to be in. They went to the mall to try and find a body for Helen and when she tried to enter the body she started to see weird things that happened from the girls past. This was really weird and then when Helen tried to get out of the body she couldn’t really get out she was kind of stuck inside the body for a slight moment.

Conflict

Submitted by Nelle on February 26, 2008 - 13:35.

What about the conflict of deciding to inhabit a living person's body, let alone the "right" one? Does this seem like something Helen would normally do? Does she justify occupying someone else's body with her spirit just so she can physically be with James? Is it okay to do this when someone's spirit or soul is nearly dead?
