In the book "Dark Souls" by Paula Morris, Miranda Tennants and Her brother Rob Tennants were in a car accident 6 months ago which caused their friend Jenna to die. Ever since the accident, Mirandas parents have been so worried and protective about them, but they don't really seem to care as much as their parents do.
One example that they're over protective about them even though they don't really want their parents to worry is that in the book, her fathers boss, Lorde Poole, talks about the death of a famous person in York, the town they are visiting, named Magarette Clitherow. Poole talks about how she was crushed to death, and immediately her parents got very anxious since Jenna was crushed to death in the car during the accident. But when her parents told Poole that they had to get back home Miranda kept asking questions about her death because she was really interested about history. This shows that she didn't really mind the fact that it was about death.
Because of this, I don't think that Miranda is as fragile as her parents think that she is. Because in her parents head they probably think that both of thier kids are about to have a mental break down if they're exposed to anything that'll remind them of the accident. But really to the kids it's just a horrible memory that they'll never be able to get rid of. That's why this shows me that Miranda is stronger than her parents think she is.
I think that what her parents should worry about is how Miranda can see ghosts. But they don't know this because Miranda is to scared to tell them because she doesn't want them to be more worried about her and possibly send her to a mental hospital. Miranda honestly thinks more about her parents sake of mind than her own.
I think that one theme in this book is that sometimes you should pay more attention to someones feelings than their actions.
