Cut+Meeting+3

In the ending of the book Callie make huge steps to recovering from her deadly addition of cutting herself. She starts to open up to her therapist which a huge feat considering she never wanted or predicted talking to anyone at Sea Pines, the mental hospital where she stays. After Becca, Callie's friend, relapsed of her bulimia, it put a lot of girls in a set back in their step to their own recovery. It affected Debbie, Tara, and Callie the most. Seeing her do that to herself after she is trying to get better and fooled everyone in the process really affected the girls. Callie was able to open up to her therapist about how she felt about the situation and soon understood what it felt like to truly recovering from her cutting habits. When she was released and brought back into her home in the book she "recovered" but the temptation to cut will always be there for Callie.

Do you think that Callie will ever really recover? We think that Callie had gotten help, and gotten past her habit of cutting, but we don't think she will ever fully be recovered from cutting.

Why do you think that she finally opened up to her therapist? She finally opened up to her therapist because when Becca relapsed it proved to Callie that you obviously can't get better on your own and you do need to let people in that are only trying to help.

In the book Identical written by Ellen Hopkins, two sisters, who are completely different, share a bond that no one understands. The book is told by both the sisters, but at the end we find out that Kaeligh had gotten in a car accident many years ago with their mother, and Raeanna was so lost without her that she became schizophrenic and acted as both sisters. Switching from personality, hurting everyone around her, sexually abused by her father, trying to find love, Raenna has totally lost touch with reality.
