Sara’s comments from the S.S. Rebel Alliance (Silent Sustained Reading Discussions) group.

Nine Years Under has progressed with the coming of age of the main character and the theme of death. the main character tells her side of her own responsibility growing the longer she is working at the funeral home. she has also survived her first trip to the basement where Mr. Wylie prepares the bodies.

I have continued to read Nine Years Under, so far Sheri has gotten a job at the funeral home where her aunt was prepared for her funeral. she feels that this job has brought her closer to her dead aunt, in a metaphorical sense. While she works, she has several realizations about death and how people cope with the death of loved ones.

I am currently reading Nine Years Under by Sheri Booker. This book is about her job working in a funeral home, thus i have concluded that the theme is about death and dying. Saddened by her aunt's death, Sheri falls into a deep depression, until a family friend offers her 15 year old self a job working in his funeral home.
