(Prompt 3- Atonement) In our book we identified the Atonement as when Dicey finally is able to convince Gram that they should be able to stay with her. Our theme says that we need courage to overcome our difficulties so that we don’t fail ourselves or others. This is just what she does. Because Dicey gains the courage to stand up to Gram and speak her thoughts, she helps her family finally find a home. Close to the end of the end of the book after her Grandmother has said that they can’t live with her, we read, ‘“Well you should,” Dicey said fiercely. “You should let us live with you.”’ This is just before the Atonement and we see here that Dicey has gained the courage to stand up to her strict grandmother to help her
