Rebecca Hanrahan, Comments 1 and 2

I agree and disagree with Megan’s post. Lily’s life is already bad enough without T. Ray’s crazy antics. The place in the peach orchid with her mother’s belongings is the only place where Lily can think without worrying about T. Ray snapping at her. Also, it is a good hiding place, until T. Ray finds Lily out there one night, and misunderstands the whole situation.

Although Lily feels calm and safe in the special place in the peach orchid, there isn’t really any proof that she ever feels loved. If Lily felt like she belonged somewhere in the world, she wouldn’t have escaped from home to a new, unknown life.

Very good, Rebecca. She certainly does not feel loved at all, hence her making the choice she did.
