Lady in Blue
The Lady in Blue interested me a great deal. She speaks a little Spanish, and she had a passion for music. However, she gave this up when she met the "man of her dreams." I believe that love should never cause us to give up that which we love, but it should push us to pursue our dreams more. She gave up her passions for a man that did not love her the way in which she loved him, and to me, this was one of the saddest parts of the book. A few of the ladies did this. The Lady in Red pursued someone who didn't love her for a while. I feel that this is a theme to the book: going the distance for someone that you love and not receiving the love that you deserve back. I just wanted to reach out to these girls and let them know that there is a love that will be returned back to them. I believe that this is a societal problem as well; my generation seeks love in places that will not give it back. The Lady in Blue and the Lady in Red (and others) were left with the pieces of their hearts that were shattered by unreturned love. This is such a sad part of this story. I believe that these ladies tried to find their identities in love, and they lost their identities when the love was not returned.

its interesting how they each handled thier unrequited love. the lady in red obviously has issues in which she is out to get all men. she turned into this wild seductress women who seems to not have a care in the world except for breaking the hearts of men. she is anger and bitter and seeks revenge while this is not the case with the blue lady. she is the oppsosite it seems like... still searching for him.
