Lucas sat down with his father after he returned from his sudden disappearance. Here is what they have to say.
Q: How was life away from home?
A: Honestly, it was very depressing. You never know how much you will miss something until it is all gone. I never thought I would miss my wife as much as I did. I never thought how much I would miss the sound of my kids fighting and how much I would miss avoiding them. There are a lot of thing that you do not realize you will miss until they are gone.
Q: What did you miss? If anything.
A: Like I said in the previous question. I missed my family so much and I missed my daily life. SO much goes on when you are gone and you just can not get that back so many memories and so many things that you just

To me helping Violet was the solution to all my problems. Violet had everything I could have ever wanted and she was going to leave it all to be if I helped her kill herself. As much as I knew Violet wanted to die, I did not do it for her. I did it for me. I did it for what she promised me. She promised ,e all her money and all of her belongings. She gave me enough to make myself a new person. To give myself a new identity. To be someone who I have always wanted to be. I knew that if I did not help Violet then I would not have been happy with myself. Although I have come to realize what I did was so terribly wrong, in the moment that was the most perfect thing I could think of and it was the perfect way out of my life that I hated so much. Killing Violet made me someone who I would never want to be or meet, but gave me everything I …show more content…
First off I love you so much and I am so terribly sorry for what I did. I do not expect you to ever forgive me or to even look at me but I ask that you remember that I will always love you no matter what. I have missed out on so much of your life. Those are memories and things that I will never get back. Leaving was the worst thing I could have ever done because it deprived you of a father. I left you and our family in the dust with nothing. Nothing to hold on to nothing. I just am so sorry Lucas that I caused you to go through that and that I am the reason things are this way
Amos should not have bought Violet for three reasons: She cost a lot, She might not be happy, And she might get hurt.
She is fairly new to the work world and has lied on her resume’ to get hired, and realizes that the job is harder than she first thought. All hope is not lost because Violet assures her that she can be trained. She ends up succeeding at the company and telling her husband she will not take him back after he comes back begging for her love again.

Violet is a very cute, feminine name which fits the character’s role as the femme in the lesbian relationship. One could accentuate the fact that whenever Violet is away from Caesar, she appears to be less feminine. Also, whenever Violet is talking to men, her voice becomes high-pitched which seemingly makes her vulnerable ensuring her to be taken care of. This can be seen in many scenes from the film especially the scene where Caesar opens the briefcase and finds nothing in it except a stack of newspapers. Caesar asks “Where could the money be?” Violet replies with her...
She becomes an active protestor against the feed, as she experiences many issues of her own, and she brings the idea of invisibility to the surface. Violet mentions how she wishes she could be invisible when she says “"What I 'm doing, what I 've been doing over the feed for the last two days, is trying to create a customer profile that 's so screwed, no one can market to it. I 'm not going to let them catalog me. I 'm going to become invisible” (page 98). This quote is significant because it shows her desire to go against this corporation and to attempt to gain her privacy back. She has experienced many issues with the feed, especially when it was hacked and crashed on her. This was essentially what prompted her in trying to hide herself from the constant spotlight, where her every move was watched. Violet is the prime example of my argument that these characters are striving to find their own identity, and definition of being human. She is proving that they have become so accustomed to the feed that they have allowed it to completely take over their lives, to the point that the idea of being separate from technology, as we are, seems almost unthinkable. Her character decides to make a change as she goes against what this futuristic world pushes on people, and her proactive personality marks a major element in this
This malady, her scar, makes her physically grotesque, much like Joy/Hulga in O’Connor’s “Good Country People.” She has never been beautiful, and that is one of the deepest desires of her heart. While on the bus ride, she picks apart other people’s features as though she’s shopping; she wants that person’s hair or those eyes and that nose, all features to make her more beautiful after her scar gets healed. This desire to be a beauty is also a kind of grotesque quality, as is her loneliness and need to be loved; she wants it so badly it nearly overwhelms her personality and is all that she can thing about. Like Joy/Hulga, she is lonely in the lifestyle she lives, and is looking for someone to love her. Just like Hulga befriended Manly Pointer, so Violet befriends Monty, but with more favorable events than Joy/Hulga’s newfound friendship. Monty truly seems to love Violet; in the end of the story when she comes back from Tulsa

In The Body Finder, Violet is very torn from her feelings and even more in her secret power. Though with this power comes a “Pulling sensation, the tugging that propelled her almost without her awareness” (Derting 59-60). Violets pull can be related to almost everyone. A pull to food, to succeeding. Everyone has their guilty pleasure; Violet’s pulls to the dead are the same thing. No one understands her pull, but it’s drawing her. Violet’s character is strong, independent and determined. Derting is trying to teach us to go for that pull, this can lead someone to success. Though the drive Derting is trying to teach us about can also lead to failure
happiness with Daisy when she fell in love with him. There was no hope though,
After a while Violet finds out that her Feed chip is malfunctioning. It is continuously causing parts of her body to just stop working. This is all because her chip was implanted when she was 7 years old instead of at birth, which increased her chance for it to malfunction. To fix the malfunction, it would cost a lot of money, which her father doesn’t have. One night at a party, Violet’s Feed malfunctions, which causes her to freak out at Titus and his friends and then feint.
He tries to marry Violet. He does this because he wants to get their fortune. This was a plot twist because he is supposed to be her guardian but he tries to marry the child he’s watching. The way he gets her to participate is by stealing her little sister Sunny and locking her in a cage that is hanging off the edge of a tower. This is a plot twist because he is supposed to take care of them and keep them safe.
In the end, life for Jessie had ceased to be. Her life is gone; the turmoil finally removed…a sense of relief perhaps, maybe a permanent state of rest. By committing suicide she sealed her optimum destiny and achieved closure to her life. She reached nirvana.
She seems to be an innocent and beautiful princess, who revenges in the name of her sex. The superiority of this female character is shown by the high angle of the camera in her boss´s office, in which no matter how many masculine books he possessed, he is condemned to the final of his tyranny. In fact, only in Violet´s fantasy, he admits his faults. Thus this revenge becomes only an excuse to take the control over
If you’re reading this Luke then I am probably dead, he finally found me and he did what he always said he was going to do. Now you know everything. I'm sorry I didn’t tell you before. But I truly did love you Luke with all my heart. I need you to do something for me, take care of Carson. I'm sorry, you are already an amazing father to him. You are his father. I love you both. GoodBye.
