I really want to see it

It's good, but the ending is a bit regretful. I always like happy endings. However, there were too many cuts in Tomato, and the essence was lost. The two most important points were: first, the relationship between mother Colleen and her first husband was uncle-nephew, and second, Cassie developed some love with her brother. And what can they do after they escape? A boy who is about to become an adult, a teenage girl who has missed several years of education, and Kelly who is malnourished and has lost her twin brother Corey. They can't do anything. In the years in the attic, their only connection with the outside world is a TV. They have long been out of touch with society. They may be poor, they may become famous people, they may die for some reasons, they may not be able to be a painter, ballet dancer, etc. Because of their livelihood. Maybe Kelly will be depressed, no longer healthy, or die. I don't know these things, but I sincerely hope they live well in another world, find their mother, let her have nothing, or they can be happy. Once again, I sincerely hope that they can live well. I can't do anything for them but wish them well. This is a blessing from a lucky person to an unfortunate person.
To be honest, what makes me the most angry is their mother. She used to love her first husband so much and gave birth to four perfect dolls, but... Until later, she no longer loved them and was completely confused by money, and the four dolls turned into three... My grandmother gave me the feeling: I really want to slap her! It also tells us how wonderful life is. There are people we love, and there are people who are worthy of being loved by us... Even if God does not write a good script for people on earth, the power is in our hands, and we can do everything we want to do.
The complexity of the characters is perfectly displayed. My mother has the most beautiful appearance and a sinister and snobbish heart. Behind her vicious and perverted mentality, my grandmother has a little pity and tenderness. A few unexperienced children, from innocence to independence, originally pure souls, have to crawl around in the sludge of the world at all costs to survive. The author's writing style is really strong!
I feel so bad for Cassie and Chris. They spent three or four years growing up in the attic. It would be an understatement to say they were imprisoned. The perfect mother of the past is no longer and can no longer be relied upon by them. It turns out that love really isn't the center of the world – money is.
People's hearts will change due to environment, people, money, rights, etc. As the saying goes, one day is like three autumns, which is not unreasonable. People have not changed, but their thoughts and psychology have changed. Just like the mother in this book, from the beginning, I felt that Colin was very selfish. Her four children plus her own things could only be packed in four boxes. She directly said to her children: "I want two boxes to pack things. You have to find a way to pack all the things for the four of you in the remaining two boxes." Some clues emerged from here. Maybe she still loved his four children at first, but later she completely fell into the extravagant life of dissipation. The truth is truly staggering. The anger inside is unspeakable, and the ending is that the kind-hearted child forgives what his vain mother did. I know in my heart that letting go is the way to let go of others and myself, but I can't do it.
Every kind of twisted heart has an indelible mark. The hateful grandfather cast such a vicious curse on his descendants because he lost two sons who he considered rebellious and disobedient, because his daughter ran away and lost face. The hateful grandmother was jealous of everything in others because of her own imperfections, including hair. And that selfish, ruthless, cold-blooded mother was a money worshiper from the beginning to the end. That kind father may have been in a car accident because he was too tired from work and driving fatigued! He works so hard just to satisfy his wife's greed and materialistic desires! If this story is true, then I think the three surviving children will have a good life waiting for them. After all, they are so smart, strong, and brave. The attic may become a shadow of their childhood, and it may also become a beautiful memory for them.
The mother in the book is actually untrustworthy from the beginning. Because from the moment their father died, the fate of the children was in her hands. Emotions make her treat her children well. But feelings - they are the most untrustworthy things in the world.
The story begins with a happy family, and ends with the children seeing the lie: "Life is always uncertain, but one day, the sun will shine into the hidden darkness." The lives lost in the attic finally awakened those who survived. Corey, the sunshine you want to see... Has appeared. Kelly, please work hard to live and have your own courage and determination like you did when you were a child. The nightmare will eventually leave, and your future should be bright. Cassie, you are always worthy of being loved, and you will also find the "him" you longed for in your youth. Life may be difficult, but at least we still have dreams. Wise brother... Be a good doctor
They were free, but Kerry, that genius brother, left them forever. If I had thought about leaving earlier, and if I had seen through my mother's scam earlier, maybe the outcome would have been different.
Very well written, never give up hope or yourself at any time. I think the author's writing is very empathetic, the writing is very good, and I feel relieved. Even if the ending is not so beautiful, it can still create happiness. To be honest, watching life and watching this, I feel that in the eyes of others, their life is a tragedy, but maybe they themselves have old cows, happy times, an infinite future, beautiful fantasies, and regrets, but they are not regrets, but they are the best.
Until my mother disappeared for a long time and went to get married, I felt that my mother loved them, but she was immature, and because of her childhood education, she did not lack the means to survive. She was also very pitiful. The protagonist and his brother are really awesome. It's great. They take on what parents should do at such a young age.
Throughout the book, there is not a trace of sunshine. The hidden hope is that Cassie and Chris are determined that they can escape from the attic. In the end, they did it and took care of their sister, but their brother unfortunately passed away. I originally thought that their mother had her own reasons for allowing her grandmother to be locked up in the attic, but when I slowly looked over, I only saw the selfishness of my mother, the scolding and even abuse of my grandmother, who allowed her children to be locked up in the attic for more than three years. In these three years, the two youngest children have never bathed in the sun, while Cassie and Chris took on the responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings when they were still children. At the beginning of the original article, I thought their mother loved them. A woman took her children back to her mother's house to survive, but I was wrong. If she really loved her children, she would not have allowed them to be locked up in the attic by their grandmother. They could not go downstairs, could not eat well, could not sleep well, could not even look out of the window, were whipped by their grandmother, and the two youngest children had not bathed in the sun for three years. She did not want her children to affect her in finding a man. So they began to blame Cassie for not understanding their mother. Cassie and Chris kept convincing themselves that their mother loved them, but what they waited for was their mother's indifference. The attic room was locked, and their brother died in the end because he was ill and did not receive timely treatment. When his brother passed away, their mother did not show sadness. After reading this, they felt heavy and hoped that after escaping, the three of them could live well for the rest of their lives.
It is really unimaginable that four children lived in the attic for more than three years. Cassie's strength is worth learning from. 1. Her words really touched me a lot. I said to myself in my heart, no matter what kind of blow life gives me, I will never let myself fall into this situation where I can only rely on men, otherwise I cannot guarantee my life. But at the same time I felt extremely ashamed. 2. The rising sun shines on the top of the mountain, driving away the fog surrounding the mountainside. As we got closer to the station, the sky changed. Nothing is eternal, not even family love.
This book is truly the most disturbing book I have ever read.
Cassie is so pitiful, my brother is so pitiful, the twins are so pitiful Mom should have known for a long time that they were going to be locked up, but she didn't know if the donuts had poisoned them. Grandma was so speechless and her religious beliefs were a bit outrageous. Grandpa was also perverted and tortured people even after they died. Why didn't Mom have children? My mother is probably the luckiest person in this book. She always has money to spend, but she only got beaten once and returned to the upper class. It's really scary. The children who used to be beautiful are now like rats in the attic who want to be killed. Will it be possible for my brother to become a doctor, and will it be possible for Cassie to become a ballerina? The twins have been ruined. It would be better if they were given away in the first place. The twins were sent away far away. Cassie and her brother could have run away. It was really shocking. Anyway, my mother has implemented that money is everything. I hope she has no money.
This book is really good, but I'm not happy with the ending. I want to see their future, my mother's fate, and make her regret for what she did. I hate my mother more than my grandmother. It was my mother who harmed them.
Life is never uncertain. One day, the sun will shine into the darkness. The whole book gave me a very depressing feeling, and the last paragraph made me directly appreciate the ugliness of human nature. How did great maternal love evolve into this? I think it has something to do with this mother's upbringing. First of all, her mother didn't teach her how to be a good mother.
Think deeply, as parents, are we also imprisoning our children in the attic for the sake of wealth? Invisible attic, hurtful words, low-quality companionship, let go naturally. I can only be glad that they are still good kids
It's very exciting. I have a strong sense of immersion in the characters. I almost got angry several times.
It's not love that makes the world go round, it's money.
After reading this book, I was instantly filled with fear...
I can't believe there is such a mother. She didn't receive any punishment in the end.
Children rely on each other in the darkness and grow up with their own strong will. Even if all the lies are shattered, they still dream of a better life in the future. We should live towards the sun and not complain about the hardships of life.
Art reflects life. There are still many people in this world who do not love their children. There are cases where courts and civil affairs bureaus divorce children despite their crying children, beat children, and even kill them to cheat insurance if the child insurance coverage is too high. The mother in the book is so eager for money that she locks her children in the attic and lives happily outside. We may not be able to provide our children with a life of prosperity and wealth, but please give your children all your love and care without reservation or stinginess, so that your children can get warmth and companionship in their hearts. There should be only clutter in the attic, not children.
The ones who love wholeheartedly are incredibly deceived and come from their mothers who are in it for money. The writing is concise, the theme is profound and clear, the content is sincere and rich, and all descriptions and descriptions are not redundant. Rare!
After reading this book, I felt very depressed. Four such lovely children were deprived of their freedom for three years. The most heartbreaking thing was Kelly. Such an independent baby finally became lonely and desperate. It can't be said that Colleen was at fault. She had to sell her mother's love under the last resort. Their grandfather was so terrible that he blocked all their chances of living under the sun. In fact, when I read that Cassie was reluctant to cut off her hair and the twins starved for a week, I suddenly disliked her. She was the first to disbelieve her mother, but she put everyone in trouble again and again. I admire their elder brother more, he is rational, hopeful and decisive. The twins are the most distressing, so small, so cute, and so smart. They have adapted to life in the attic in a short period of time, and they even forget that there is a bigger world outside. They are the first to see their mother clearly, so they have no requirements for her very early. The book ends forcefully. I don't quite believe that they will live a good life after they come out, but they should be free and able to run under the sun.
Has this book been edited out?
Her mother should be punished
If it were me, I would have escaped long ago
I'm looking forward to their next life.
