In the end, all the characters in Everything I Never Told You survive-- except Lydia. James and Marilyn reconcile, emotionally and physically. Hannah begins to receive love and appreciation from her mother especially. Nath gets to punch out Jack, go to Harvard, and eventually (as one line of the novel reveals) becomes an astronaut. But Lydia dies. Why was she the family's fulcrum for suffering in the years leading up to, and why did she drown in the lake that night? Why did the author choose to have this family suffer the loss of the "favored" daughter, and the daughter to become the eternal victim? This is a fiction, after all, and the author could have chosen to let the character live. But would Lydia's survival been unbelievable? Was her death necessary for the others to survive psychologically and spiritually?

We don't have one intelligence. We can be intelligent in many different subjects. Not knowing a lot about something that disinterests you does not make you unintelligent. Intelligence should be broken down into different topics, interests and subjects. Breaking it down this way helps many people find the...

She occasionally is a little late to work (although she states that she is in the parking lot by starting time and it is not her fault that her workstation is so far away from where she parks her car), tends to “stretch” her lunch breaks, and routinely leaves her work area five to ten minutes early every day. She is not a...
