  "There are notes for happiness,too,if you listen past the ache." (264) This quote appeals to me because its true. Everyone has hard times and it feels like things will never get better. But you have to find the beauty in ugly. Happiness isn't easy to get, you must believe that something wonderful is going to happen. The past is the past and it can't be changed, but you can learn from it. You put that information to make your life better. If there are hard times you must search for happiness. You must let go of what hurts to grow. For some people is being in a bad relationship or friendship. For other it might be an opportunity they missed. If you had the chance to do something great but were afraid it put you're whole life back. You might never get the chance again or if you do the fear you got first might come back.You must remember that sometimes the best things come from things that scare you. This quote fits in with novel because it shows that amazing things will happen if you believe they will. Carey never thought she would actually live with her father again or get away from the woods. Yet after pain, light shone through and gave her the best she could ask for. She got another sister, a real mother, and her father back, as well a a three legged dog named shorty. Life can be hard and unfair sometimes, but believe and happiness will break all the ache even if you think it won't.
