After Pia’s visit in Chapter 35, Olivia decides to take action on her own. What did you think of her decision here? What might you have done in her place?
Olivia liked Scott so when she decided to go after him to prevent any mayhem - after trying to reach Merritt - I think I would have done the same. Scott really had all the onus of incompetence on him when he was really being misjudged too much.
I thought Olivia was putting herself in too much danger. I may have called the authorities.
I didn’t agree with Olivia’s decision to take action on her own. It seemed way too dangerous to me. I agreed with her decision to try calling Merritt first. But with no answer, I would have called the authorities next. It made me angry that Merritt did not respond to Olivia. Merritt did end up saving Olivia, but I thought she should have responded to Olivia also.
I thought it was a stupid and dangerous decision to go off on her own. I do understand why she did it because she wanted to ‘save’ people and had empathy for Pia.
I felt like Olivia’s decision to take action on her own was careless and irresponsible. I would have physically gone to Merritt and woken her up. I was thinking the reason Merritt hadn’t answered was because Scott was with Merritt, holding her hostage or something of the sort.
I thought she was very brave, but not very thoughtful about it. Granted, she didn’t have a lot of time to think before she acted, but she put herself in a lot of danger. I would probably have called the police but but gone after him. I would be too scared.
