Dede, 4th period Ellie, Jon, and Mary Claire

Identity crisis- when you are trying to figure out who you are and where you fit in Dede's identity crisis- On page 5 Dede says, "This is certainly why Dede shies away from these interviews. Before she knows it, she is setting up her life as if it were an exhibit labeled neatly for those who can read: THE SISTER WHO SURVIVED" "Dede looks up at those young faces, and she knows it is herself at that age she misses most." page 6
 * When she says "exhibit" this shows that it was set up for her and was planned
 * When she says "The sister who survived" this shows her identity but also how she doesn't want this identity she wants to be Dede not just the Mirabel sister that lived
 * When she says that "this is the age she misses most" she is saying that she wants to go back in time to a place where she wasn't just the sister that survived she wants to tell stories of her own not just be forced to tell her sisters
 * She regrets not having more of a role in the movement
 * Dede wishes she could go back and rewrite her story
