Does their relationship being distant play into the confusion of the story and what is wrong with her?
Chay
9:15
If he doesn't 'love' her, then why do you think they married in the first place?
Josephine Deuel
9:15
Do you believe the husband was neglectful? Why do you think the "honeymoon period" doesn't seem to exist in this relationship?
Courtney

Why do you think Jordan does not show his love towards Alicia?
Cheyanne
9:16
Is the parasite figurative or a literal tick?
Josephine Deuel
9:16
In response to Chay: I feel as though he did love her very much, but I believe he did not understand that until later,, this also could have been a pressured marriage
jersee
9:17

Landon
9:17
D you think he would've noticed the parasite if they were closer?
Chay
9:18
Do you think her sickness represented her going insane/losing her mind??
Zach Freed
9:19
How does your understanding/assumptions of what is causing her sickness change over the course of the story?
Chay
9:19
To Landon, yes. I think he would have noticed a difference in her. But, since the two would rarley talk and she always had a miserable tone about her when around the house, he didn't
Gabi
9:19
In response to Alex: I think this monster represents their marriage because it just kept on getting worse and worse until there was nothing left to hang on to.
Zach Freed
9:19
The house connects to their relationship. It is big but sort of empty.
Chay
9:20
To Carly, I see it as a love lost story. All shown when love is shown the right way too late.
Josephine Deuel
9:20
Do you think the doctors could have done more?
Zach Freed
9:20
While reading, at one point, did it seem like she was being "attacked" by a vampire?
9:21
Do we know a time period for this story? Would that affect our assumptions?
Courtney
9:21
In response to Josephine: Yes I think the doctors should have done more and looked closer into her problem.
mckenna
9:21
Was the lack of investigating the mental causes of Alicia's condition indicative of how women's emotions are viewed  by men?
Zach Freed
9:22
TIME PERIOD!!!
