I was astonished by the way La Rue treated Charlotte in the end of this book. It upsets me because this is how some people today treat others. I don't like how some people live for themselves and themselves only. They do whatever it is to get what they want and don't even consider other peoples feelings. My father as far as i can remember has been telling me never to think only about myself. To consider other peoples feelings while you are making whatever decision it is. He told me to keep my self at a higher priority than others but never to forget other people have feelings to. With reading this book i can say that i really realize that my father had really advice. I don't know how La Rue can live with herself and then have enough dignity to show her face to the Temple's and let them take care of her when she has no where else to go. The Temple's must have a huge heart to be able to forgive her because i know i would never have. Also, if i was La Rue i don't think i would be able to show my face in town again. it just shows how nasty of a person she is and how she only lives for herself. Maybe it is good survival skills but to me if your a good person and actually have friends then she would have never been in the positions she is in now because they would be there for her at her moment of need. It is funny to see that even though this book was written such a long time ago people really have stayed the same if not became worse.
