  • What Are The Multiple Perspectives Of The Break By Katherena Vermette

    731 Words  | 3 Pages

    After reading “The Break” by Katherena Vermette, I think that one of the many purposes of the book is to give insight on how the relationships in your life can determine how you heal from traumatic experiences. My thoughts about self-governance changed drastically after reading the novel. I now believe self-governance, while important, is not beneficial in the long run without family to rely on. I found that Vermette successfully used multiple perspectives, a character in the story and storytelling and flashbacks to support the idea of how trauma can be dealt with more efficiently in a loving family community, compared to dealing with it alone.
