Q3 Blog #2

This blog is supposed to be about someone overcoming struggle or facing a difficulty so I decided to write about the book Diary difficulty. Her husband tried to kill himself but instead put himself into a coma. She now has to pay his hospital bills. She is a forty year old by Chuck Palahniuk. In the story the main character faces muchalcoholic who works as a waitress. She has to support her daughter and mother-in-law. On top of it she finds out that her carpenter husband was writing threatening messages in closed off rooms in the houses that he remodeled. It is clear that she faces many difficulties. So far she has not been able to solve these problems. Her mother-in-law believes that if she starts to paint again she can earn a lot of money. She on the other hand does not believe this. The author shows that the main character has given up all hope while facing her problems, she is content to never recognize her dreams of painting. She is okay with her job which she hates. I believe that later she will be inspired to paint again and overcome her struggles.
