Class Reading--Till We Have Faces
Sisters

     In some odd, strange, embarrassing ways I am able to relate to Orual in Till We Have Faces.  I have two beautiful, talented, funny sisters that are loved by many people.  Growing up, it was really hard to not be jealous, especially of my older sister.  In some ways I see myself in Orual...jealous, yet overcome with love for my sister.  I loved her, yet resented her.  I also used to think that my sister's judgement was clouded by the glory around...also similar to Orual and Psyche.  Although my sister wasn't being courted by a god and living in a castle, she was surrounded by a lot of fame (in a way...she is a performer) and was not a believer.  I thought that I could convince her, like Orual thought she could, that it wasn't real and that she needed to see the Truth.  Like Orual, I had a lot to learn about my own character.
