I think Lynn's death had created a huge impact on Katie's life. She has become way more matured than she was and also Lynn's death had made her willpower and responsibilities bigger. According to the story Katie works harder with her homework and sometimes gets an A and mostly B's. I think Katie does this because sh knows that Lynn the perfect daughter is gone and she feels like her parents are really upset because Lynn was way more talented and more intelligent and thus she doesn't want her parents to regret this death and so makes it up to them by working more harder in academy! I also think this willpower in Katie will help her get a way more brighter future than what she would have got.

Lynn longed to get better and make many friends,Katie also wished the same and they had promised Lynn a phone in her bedroom when she got better so that she could talk to all her friends. Suddenly they hear a phone ring once and then stop. It was almost like the phone ring was not real, like a momentary granting of Lynn wishes for getting better, having friends and talking to them over phone. Thye moth is also probably a symbol of her momentary dreams. Moths normally have very short lives you see them at night and most die by the day. The moth flying in through the window must be like a secret wish of Lynn. Lynns eyes were following the movements of the moth almost like chasing a dream and then her eyes lits up as if her dreams were getting fullfilled and then suddenly dies off....and so she goes to sleep.

Interesting fact about the navajo people..

I think that the most interesting fact about the Navajo people is that when a person is very ill and is going to die instead of getting a doctor they held healing ceremonies to help the person get better. They usually have a medicine man come over which is usually another member of the tribe and they have him do various things before they turn to the proper medical treatment. The medicine man usually uses tools such as crystal rocks and chants prayers based on the illness.
