On Such a Full Sea - Murals

The section on the mural made by the sisters, about Fan and her journey thus far and still to come, struck me as creepy but really interesting. Even after reading and thinking more about it, I still find it really odd. However, I think this form of direct foreshadowing creates a sense of confusion and comfort-ability in the world of Fan. On page 259, it says "Naturally, they began pushing for Fan to reveal what 'happens' to her." This idea of happening is furthered at the beginning of the next chapter. It reads, "The funny thing about the tale of Fan is that much of what happened to her happened to her." This quote, from the perspective of the people of B-Mor, reveals that the things that happened to her are what they are but it always seems like there is much more to it than just that.
