In the story we have our two main characters that we follow along, Titus and Violet. Through out the story we see their relationship bloom but one big the leads it to a halt. Violet, because of having her feed put in late, is slowly dying from a feed like cancer. Now I would normally say the I personally feel like Titus in this situation but that is not the case by a long shot. Yes me and Titus are in similar situations ( Him with Violet and me with my mother ) but I definitely wouldn't ignore my mother's final wishes just because the list would be so long, I wouldn't purposely ignore her, what could be her final words, just because the messages were too long. I'm not going to say I feel a personal connection to Titus, I am going to say that I feel a connection between Violet and my mother. Though I do not know my mother perspective on it was truly the same, but from my perspective they are very close. Violet and my mother never let their sickness control them, they were determined to beat it till the very end even when the doctors knew they wouldn't, She always looked out for me, always wanted to make sure I was doing well and asking me how my day was, much like the messages that Violet leaves for Titus. They are both extremely passionate about what they believed in, for Violet it was the past and how she wanted to preserve it, and for my mother it was seeing her children and their children to be successful. This is why I am reminded of my mother when seeing Violet, especially now.
