1. In Ian Evert’s post I agree with the fact that no child or any person should have to go through that punishment. But in the book Lilly did not kneel on oats she actually knelt on grits. Also in Chris’s post he talks about how she feels more at home and safe in her room, she is away from all the abusiveness. Besides her room there are also the orchard where she feels at home with her mother. This is a major part of the setting.
2. In Nikki Jackson’s post she tells how she sees Lilly holding her mother’s things to her heart as a metaphor. I agree, it is like Lilly’s protection from her father. Whenever Lilly is scared or in pain all she has to do is think of her mother or hold her possessions. This idea of protection from a deceased loved one is shared universally but is demonstrated clearly in this book and analyzed in Nikki’s post.

I was wondering--you are not one to neglect your work. Nice comments, even if a day late.
