A House Like a Lotus

3 texts:
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle
Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery

Statement: I found it very strange that the day after Max made a sexual advance on Polly, she was sleeping with Renny. From other things I've read and what I would expect, if a girl is just sexually traumatized, the last thing she wants to do is have sex.

Question: Were all the characters really necessary? There were so many characters throughout the story, I couldn't seem to keep them all straight. She had 7 brothers and sisters, plus her cousin Kate, her aunts and uncles, all the delegates at the conference, and others. I didn't really understand why all these characters needed to be introduced to the reader when many of them didn't play an important role.
