Me too on this one. Adolescence being a vulnerable age for most, it does shape who a person becomes in the future wether good or bad.
Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.

This is more than an awesome reply to the question. It leaves the readers thinking about the questions thrown back.Bettercallyourbookie wrote: ↑01 Apr 2018, 09:04 I think the prologue does convey strength of character even in an unhappy home.
Consider a few things for me: does circumstance define the strength of a character? If it doesn't, what does? If it does, doesn't being resilient in the face of hardships qualify as strength?
Also, even if she wasn't a strong character in the prologue, does that really matter? One of the most compelling things for me when I read a new book is character development. The process of finding that strength and resilience will probably be a better story than her being an unchanging source of strength throughout the entire novel.
Just food for thought.

I really like that and agree. We all have faults and weaknesses and as we progress in life it is hoped that we progress to. Not to be expected to be perfect at first or have perfect circumstances but to be refined in the process of life.Spirit Wandering wrote: ↑01 Apr 2018, 10:05I would agree that being resilient in the face of hardship does qualify as strength. It is unfortunate but true that, for many of us, the experience of hardship is what brings maturity and growth of one's personality. I enjoy evolving character development in a novel, as it encourages the potential for us to do the same in our own lives.Bettercallyourbookie wrote: ↑01 Apr 2018, 09:04 I think the prologue does convey strength of character even in an unhappy home.

I agree completely. The unhappy home doesn't make her less strong. If anything, she overcomes more and perseveres which makes her stronger than most. Strength and happiness don't always go hand in hand.
