5 Reasons why Rhine from Sever is a pessimist

 

Rhine lives in a world where the immortals have a curse of living in a perfect body but at the price of living in for only 20 years and as such she believes that it would end horribly for her

She doesn't really believe in what people tell in especially if its in a positive outlook

Even when people try to she only dismisses it and tries to think for what could've happened

1- She believes in nonexistence

When characters die in her life she believes that they wouldn't exist anymore and that they have disappeared from the earth. she tries to think of an after life but the struggles she faces thru the story make her think differently on everything and she becomes more filled into despair. This thought is always in the story because the time limit that everyone has because of the disease as they call it ends life immediately as such Rhine always think whenever the outcome of something is always bad she gives in.

2- She hates blindness

When Cecily, a friend of Rhine acts all happy and carefree somewhat angers Rhine to where she wants to yell at her and make her see the reality but she does not knowing of what her life was like. example would be when her sister wifely loves linden so she would do anything to please him like how she would betray Rhine  shouldn't necessarily mean to out of hate and she somewhat her and when her husband linden she feels guilty posing linden to the world and doing everything to his life

3- She is scared of superstitions

When she escapes the mansion and travels thru the country she meets a fortune teller and she describes the future Rhine would be in and though she does not necessarily fear what would happen she is scared of it actually happen and is completely paranoid of it happening through the book. what turns out to be true is that somebody does die in the exact way that it was said and she tries to come to come to terms that it happened.

4- She does not like medical facilities

Though she does think of herself as a bit odd due to her eyes she despises the medical facilities in that her parents where killed because they were trying to find a cure and that it would bring meaningless hope to anyone and thus hates being around them and she becomes more saddened because her brother now bombs them and she realizes is that it was only for selfish gain. also in the 1st and 2nd novel she is tormented to experiments set up by Vaughn to study her eyes and she t helpless the whole time and when she has finally escaped she becomes somewhat scared of being alone in a hospital room or building all together

5-Vaughn

Her father in law Vaughn did unjust things to her and those around her and who she cares for and throughout all 3 books she expresses her distaste for him yet could never stand up to him and only sly her way thru the conversations. the perfect example is when she sees thru Vaughn's trickery and when Cecily's child becomes stillborn Vaughn tries to lie by wording his way thru the arguments to get Cecily and linden to come with him to the mansion. though she do at some point believe in what Vaughn says but quickly tries to dismiss it.

I think that when a story would be considered non fiction would be that when you can relate to the story so well that you can even have a story of your own of what would happen because when you can relate to it that easily you could possibly think of yourself being in the story and living it out and if its so relatable be able to predict what could happen next or be shocked what could happen next.

Yes have truths are okay , because Laila Lalami a writer quotes "When your writing non fiction to me its based on fact, naturally in the process of writing there are going to be things you remember differently than other people" and she talks about when people write about a personal experience they are going to remember it by their memory and personal experience, and when James Frey does talk about the accident that occurred between the 2 students he did lie on that he caused it but he most likely wrote on how he felt when it happened

No, mostly because though when we read a novel we don't really care what genre it would be if we loved the story so much we would pretty much ignore the genre altogether and try to just continue reading the story and even if it were non fiction or fiction a majority of people would put their place in the main characters to want to get a glimpse of what it would be like
