Critical Question #2: The Thruth about Forever

Question: What really hard things are happening in this text? Are these things happening in the world now? Where?

      I'm currently reading the book The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen. Macy is actually a very smart and fun person and she has been running and has won races since she was a little girl but instead of being remembered by that she was remembered as the girl who saw her own father die in front of her eyes. She tries to look her best all the time so people don't think that she looks messy because she's still upset that her father died.
          The really hard thing that's happening in the book is that Macy had to see her father die. Macy loved her dad, they did so many things together, and they were really close, and inside she's a horrible mess. In the book Macy explains that she is angry and sad but she can't let anyone know that, so she dresses herself neatly and professionally. Even though back then when her father was still alive Macy would never care about her appearance now she was kind of forced to care because if she wore some random outfit and didn't do her hair at all everyone would look at her with a sad face and she got tired of it, so she was forced to change how she talks, how she dresses, and how she acts towards others. 
     These things are happening in the everywhere in the world because people lose people who they love and care about everyday without a warning and then there are those other people who see their family members die right in front of them and they can't do anything about it but sit down and regret everything.
