Question: Why does Coraline constantly go to the flat of Miss April Spink and Miss Miriam Forcible, her neighbors, if they are so elderly compared to her? Shouldn't there be plenty of children in the neighborhood since her mother is preparing her to begin school? Coraline seems friendly, so why doesn't search for friends in her new neighborhood?
Comment: I think that the plot of the story is quite intriguing. The fact that Coraline has a different mother and father that no one is aware of is a great twist to the story. Coralines' other parents are well aware that she has a different set of parents and even refer to each other as her "other mother" and "other father" in such a happy way. The author imagination in creating a completely different family really fascinated me because he created this family to really satisfy Coraline when it came to her taste in food and even bedroom decor. I like the fact that her "other parents" look similar to her biological parents, yet they are easily distinguished by particular features.
Critique: I don't understand the point of having children without being able to give them your all. Coralines' biological parents are always either too busy working to play with her or just aren't paying attention to her. When Coraline asks her father a question, he simply doesn't even look up from his work and when her mother looks in the fridge, all she sees is cheese with mold on it. I think its very irresponsible to bring a child into this world if you are financially and emotionally unable to handle the ability to take care of the child responsibly. A kid needs care, love and attention and without it they could find themselves getting into trouble kind of like Coraline does with her new discovery in the "drawing room"
