We have finally finished the novel Sarah’s Key and I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for
following me as a read this book and I am sad to say that this is this blog’s
last post. I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment.
“What are you going to tell Mom and Dad? She asked. About
not coming to Nahant? And about the baby? God knows” (Rosnay 223)
In this quotation Julia is talking to her sister about a
huge secret which she is keeping from her parents. I can totally relate to this
quotation, because my brother and I have kept plenty of secrets and we have
spent hours on how to explain them the truth. One particular situation that I
can think of is one time my brother and I broke the basement door while playing
mini sticks (basement hockey). When we broke the door we spent countless hours
trying to find a good explanation, but none of our ideas seemed reasonable. So,
we tried to hide the accent as best as possible but, my parents eventually
found out. From my personal experience I find that it’s better to truth right
away rather than trying the truth. Sarah situation is definitely more
complicated and she has been going through a lot, and it is difficult to just
tell your parents that your parents without creating a reaction.

In this section we get to see both Julia’s and William’s lives get completely flipped upside down. We get to see how one event completely changed their futures for better and for worse. For William, after he found out who his mother really was and after pursuing more information about his mother, we learn that he got a divorce and he got a new girlfriend. He also even states that his live has completely changed after he found out. “That was my girlfriend... I’m divorced now, Julia..... You know, after you told me, everything changed” (Rosnay 287). Then for Julia, her actions in wanting to learn more about Sarah, resulted in Julia’s and Bertrand’s marriage to fall apart, then after the news of a baby, it caused them to split up. Sarah got a new boyfriend as well and she named her daughter after the child who changed her life, Sarah. “My Sarah. An echo to the other one, to the other Sarah, to the little girl with the yellow star who changed my life” (Rosnay 293).It was amazing to see that one little girl’s named Sarah and her story was able to change both of their lives. Although, I have never had an experience which changed my life like Julia and William, I have had many experiences which have impacted my future. For example, moving to a new house was definitely an experience which impacted my life. Moving to a new neighbourhood, making new friends and living in a place that my family was definitely wasn’t used to be all things which resulted because we moved houses. It’s
interesting that one small or large experience can affect the future.
