“Photo Journal”
In this activity, students create a photo journal to analyze the important things in life.
In The Lovely Bones, Susie’s hobby of taking pictures serves as a reminder of what is most important to her family and friends. Other photos in the novel also play an important role for the characters, such as the photos Fenerman uses to keep track of his cases and the photos Jack and Abigail use to remember Susie. Eventually, Fenerman and Abigail release some of the photos because they are connected to items or belief systems they can no longer hold on to.
Create a photo journal as a reminder for you and those closest to you of what is most important. Draw comparisons between the photos throughout the novel to your own photos as reminders of what to let go of and what to hang on to.
- Begin by dividing your photo journal into two sections.
- Create a label for the first section of “What to hold on to.”
- Create a label for the second section of “What to let go of.
