Nan and Poppy vs Doris

I believe that Ellie, Albert and Marie like Nan and Poppy who they've pretty much just met better than Doris. A quote that proves that on page 116 is "But when Ellie awoke at Nan and Poppy's she was certain of where she was, certain she belonged there." This quote proves that Ellie feels comfortable at Nan and Poppy's and she never said she felt that comfortable at her own house. I predict that at some point in the book when Doris will abandon her family (i have predicted this before) that the Dingmans will go to Nan and Poppy for comfort and understanding.

    i agree ellen i think that Nan and poppy make better parents than Doris i mean they are ellies grandparents and teqnecly it's not their responsibility to take care of her but like in your quote they make Ellie,marie and albert feel better when they are with them then Doris.
    P.s: can u please change your font and highlighting colour it's really hard to read!

    I agree with you {that Doris might abandon her family} but I think that the Dingmans will go live with Nan & Poppy.

    Wait, I figured out what it said. I agree with you that Ellie Albert and Marie feel more comfortable with people that they barely know the their own mother.

    I think that it is a sign that Doris cares about nobody but herself because her daughter doesn't feel comfortable in her own home. There is something called a mother kid bond and this is something that Doris and her kids don't have.
