The Book of the Dead

I think I liked this story the least. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't my favorite. I don't understand how Annie lost her father. He was a grown man, and I eventually figured out that she was a grown woman. I thought for a while that he might be ill and have alsymers or something like that, but no, he was just fine. I don't agree with the way he handled his daughter's statue either. He felt that he didn't deserve it because of his past as a security guard. However, I think he should have just been honest with his daughter and tell her that he didn't want her to dedicate the sculpture to him or something like that. Throwing the art into the lake only put a strain on their relationship. That sculpture could have made Annie's career take off. She could've lost a lot from the incident. I can't believe they went to the buyer's house either. It seemed like they just went for the food and to be nosy. If I were Annie, I think I would have just called and explained the situation. From there, I would've either made a new statue or given them their money back. I did like the idea behind the Egyptians, the museum, and the statue's inspiration. Annie wanted her dad to know that she was interested in his life and brought up the little things like the Egyptians and the museum. I can relate to this because I am doing my final research paper on Vietnam because of my dad. I really do find it interesting, and I enjoy the time I get to spend with him in order to do the project. I think this is somewhat of the same story behind Annie's statue.
