The Short Bus Reading Response 3

The chapter I enjoyed the most from this reading section was chapter 9. This chapter was about Jonathan's sister Kelly. I found myself being able to relate a lot to this chapter because I have a lot in common with Kelly. The section that talked about how Kelly and Johnathan would sit on the couch and eat ice cream out of the container relates directly to my brother and I. When my depression episodes get bad, we sit and eat ice cream right out of the container and have deep life conversations. There were too direct quotes from Kelly in this chapter that were also things that I have said before (pg. 135: "Good can come from bad. I just haven't found the good yet." and pg. 137: "Sometimes these painful things make you who you are.") which brought me a sense of relief in reading, knowing that someone else has the same view as me.
