Literature Analysis Questions

      1.) It all happened in an instant. Mélanie and her brother Antoine were going to a surprise trip for Mélanie's birthday, Mélanie not knowing about the surprise. They both got into a tragic car accident, meanwhile Mélanie was injured, Antoine was fine; not knowing whether his sister survived the crash, he's just constantly thinking how he'd tell his parents his sister is dead. From the surgeon's feedback on Mélanie, surviving the tragic accident, Antoine noticed Mélanie wanting to say something. Mélanie had gotten all her memories from her childhood and she guessed where Antoine was taking her for her birthday surprise. After talks and talks about their childhood at Noirmoutier Island, Mélanie knows a family secret from the past that can fix the present. The family secret was that their mother, Clarisse, was murdered and neglected by her doctor. This family secrets destroyed marriages and family relationships throughout the story.

      2.) The theme of this book, A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay, is to not let things whether they're negative or positive flashbacks from the past taunt you. Although we may all think ignorance is the answer when forgetting things, at one point it will catch us up when we least expect it. It's better to face the fact and get over it.

      3.) The author's tone was more of a curiousity and suspense. By the author's tone I can make up that she was a night person when writing her book. I can tell she's a night person because the tone is more in a dark way, and night is dark and full of suspense. I'd say the author drinks her coffee hot with no caffeine. It seems like she's a yoga mediation person, I think this because old people mostly like doing yoga.
