Unanswered Questions

Mia's family gets into a car accident, but she is confused about what she is seeing.

"I see a hand sticking out....I edge closer and now I know that it's not Teddy lying there...It's me," (Forman 17).

Is she a ghost looking down on herself and her family? Can her other family members see themselves? Is Mia dead?

Changes Over Time

Mia's relationship with her boyfriend improves as she gets to know him better, as well as herself.

"But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I'll be in love with tomorrow," (Forman 101).

In the past, Mia thought that the relationship between her and Adam was a joke. It wasn't very strong and they were only overly friendly with each other. Now, Mia realizes that even though her and her boyfriend don't have much in common, they can still be perfect for each other. I predict that as the story develops, more scenes between Mia and Adam will be revealed from their past and as she continues to stay in the hospital.
