Reading response on other blogs Blog Post On Other Blog's

I read Izzy's blog Post on House Rules by Jodi Picoult and I loved her blog post.  It was very informative, and clearly showed the views of all the characters in the book.  The book is about a family with a child with autism. Although many readers will want to focus on the child with autism, Izzy focused on all members of the family to show all the views of the book.
I found it most interesting how she describes Theo, who's brother has autism. Theo feels like he just wants to be normal, which is impossible for him because of his brother. Izzy did a good job describing how Theo feels, saying that he always wanted to have a older brother, and now he is the older brother. Living with someone that will be forever branded "the person with the weird brother" will affect Theo deeply and I think Izzy was very smart to have understand Theo's personality that well.
Izzy also described Emma, the mother of the two sons, very well. She showed her thought and also used some retell to fully understand the character. She comments on how it must be very hard for Emma to out in a brave face and go on living with a kid that has  autism. If something as small as the car next to them is orange, she has to find another place to park. I think Izzy did a good job of describing her character as someone who feels alone and stressed but still manages to be brave. I also liked how Izzy added her own opinion to make her ideas more true. I also agree with Izzy that if I was in her situation I would not be able to face having to change my life for her son, Jacob.
Jacob, is one of the most interesting characters in the book is a complex person. Izzy describes him as smart, smarter than other people give him credit for. I agree with Izzy and that because people see him with autism, they think he cannot do anything himself. This makes me think of many common stereotypes and how people think of others.
In all, I think Izzy did a very good job on her blog post, it was organized very well and made a lot of sense. She had the perfect combination of thoughts, retell and evidence from the story to form her conclusion. I would like to try her strategy of describing all the main characters of the story and not focusing so much on the themes of the story.
