A Bird In The House: Death and

seen throughout the book there are three types of death; physical death, death of a

relationship, the death of a previous life or the death of a dream.

Vanessa has been through a lot of family deaths. Some of these deaths have been

un-preventable, such as the stillborn baby sister of her’s. When her grandfather Connor

died, it was un-preventable. He died of a stroke and Vanessa wasn’t even there. Also,

when Mr. Pearl was going through his death, her father was just there to watch him die.

Vanessa was very inconsiderate about his death, she talked grotesquely about it to her

grandfather, just to stand up for her father. Also, there were also some deaths that might

have been prevented. For example, her uncle Roderick died because his eye was shot out

and it made the war tougher for him. He might not have died if he hadn’t lost sight in his

eye or he didn’t lie about his age and go to war

. . .
Grandfather Connor also had a relationship break up. Grandfather Connor’s previous life died

when grandmother Connor forced him to go bring uncle Dan inside.

In the book A Bird In The House dreams died and many people’s past lives

passed away.

splitting up relationships.

Connor would let them know they were not accepted. Ewen and the European

woman he had a relationship that split up because Ewen wanted to go back to his

hometown, to return to his family. Ewen had a previous life too, that

he may have liked more, with the European woman. Grandfather Connor

used to be controlling and wear the pants in the family until this happened.

There were a lot of deaths of relationships throughout the story. First of all when her aunt Edna took home boyfriends, Mr. With that operation she might not have died. He had a fun life with it, then it stayed in the shed, and

was never driven by him anymore.
