GREALY/Mirrors

After reading about Lucy's brutal years of torment and hatrid due to her facial deformities it only shows that people are close minded and have no space to accept people that are different. I did not find this read intriguing, because it was very predictable. After a year of not looking at her reflection, I do not see why Lucy would expect anything other than not recognizing herself. If she had only watched herself gradually change then it would have enabled her to observe the transformation.
I was dissapointed that after all her negative experience she did not make a break through into a positive mind set. Growing up her parents and all of her doctors told her she was a "Brave Girl" and her life could be a lot different if she let herself believe that.
From her description of Chemo therapy, I understand that it must be very hard to go through, and you have to be strong to get through it; but if she could get through that, then I feel she should have been strong enough to get through anything else.
