i guess i don't know how to phrase it, but i wonder if she was wondering what people would think about her. I mean, throughout a lot of the books she seems to worry that everyone else sees her as edging toward psychotic. It wouldn't surprise me if she wonders if this will further this edge or redeem her from it.
"And for years I believed
That what went unsaid between us became empty,
And pure, like starlight, & that it persisted.

I got it all wrong.
I wound up believing in words the way a scientist
Believes in carbon, after death. " --Excerpt from Winter Stars by Larry Levis

Continuing the off-topic, but Jake at least IMPLIES his family is Jewish in Megamorphs #3, during the dystopian future bit:

"Blacks and a lot of Jews, although not in my family. My dad was a certified POE - Patriot of Empire. Still, if you had any Jewish blood in you at all, you had to be extra careful so no one thought you were a radical."

On-topic, I'm thinking it'd be something along the lines of if it was worth it, if she did the right thing. She's not normally the super deep type, but it was clear she was doubting herself at the end there, asking the Ellimist if she made a difference or not.

Also, just noticing just how long this thread's been dead. Sorry. >_>

I wonder if I did this right. Also its definitely true that jake is from some branch of christianity.  Not the exact quote but from Ax "Cassie's familly is very different from Prince Jake's. Jake's familly does a religous saying before every meal."

Jake's family is heavily implied to be at least partly Jewish: presumably on his dad's side, and most people seem to think that Rachel and Jake are related through their fathers (personally, I'd love to see the family tree drawn out that gets us there; and the evidence for it)
Besides, just because the family prays before meals-(and I think in...16, they have a meal without a pray. mute point) doesn't mean that everyone at the table is devout.
Plus other religions pray before eating too. (I assume)
I know I know. Off topic. I'll just shut up now
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

each forum has its own policies, some explicitly forbid it.  i just found it odd that there was a bunch of old threads up top last time i logged in.  if you have something constructive to say it probably is better to bump an old one than start a new one though.

It never says any of them attended church and none of their parents seemed religious. Also Jake never mentions saying grace in any of his books, so maybe KA changed her mind on that one?

Cassie and her parents are Catholic. "Roman Catholic, Episcopalian or Eastern Orthodox"

wikipedia probably should not say that.
It is mentioned that the family has ties to a Father. That is not a good reason to assume she is a Catholic. And I don't really recalling her praying. I mean really pray rather than Oh god no, Oh god please etc.
But again, wrong thread for this
