Literature Circle Reflection- Exodus

During our literature Circle discussion, we discussed about how Ruth May's journey was short meaning that she i=died but the main thing is that her soul still lives on.
We talked about Rachel during Exodus and that she was simple, she didn't change the least and she seems the same by not getting nothing out of it even though Ruth May died.
when Ruth May died, Leah's whole life changed totally; she doesn't fit in anywhere anymore because she feels awkward in america and in the Congo.
Adah also changed completely meaning that Adah and Leah both have the same feelings and they both don't feel happy in the end.
We talked about the different reactions of the Price girls in Exodus:
Rachel is still trying to be independent, gold digger, and uses people in cluding the husbands. Adah is good at expressing herself.Leah is lovestruck with Anatole and feels guiltfor ruth May and the Father.
During Exodus, we discussed about the similarities and differences between Leah and Orleanna and that they are both devoted to husbands and the difference is that Leah loves Anatole but Orleanna doesn't.
We also talked about the similarities and differences between Anatole and Nathan. The similarity between them both was that they both were passionate and they both believed in deep devotion. The difference between them both is that anatole cares for othersbut Nathan wants God's acceptance.
They are also were both willing to take risks like jail, and family.
one detail is that all the Price girls have guilt, find a redemption but they got diffenrent.
Rachel- having a hotel
Leah- Helping the Congo
Adah- Med. school, finding cure to get rid of disability.
Orleanna- her garden, separates herself, starts new life.
On pg. 444, Adah can now express herself because she is emotionally needy, and now needs mother's love beacause now she can focus on herself, rather than others.
*Nathan's death was like jesus's death-m he was burned on the cross by his own sin.
I feel that this discussion was reall y productive because we desribed the feelings of the Price sisters through Ruth May's death and Nathan's death and their similarities and differences.
