In an older post, I talked about how Rachel decides to put an extra flourish on some of the words she uses. The first time I noticed, she changed execute into executrate and I didn't realize what or why she has done this for. I let it go, filing the fact that she changes and uses some wrong and weird words regularly. For me, I group all of the Price children around the age of 12. It's my general age that I picture when I am reading from each character's point of view. Recently, it hit me that Rachel was the oldest, and was even older than me! I think that using different and made up words to make yourself sound smart is pretty childish, especially for a 17 year old. I have asked myself, is Rachel immature? Does she not know better? I don't know how they were brought up, but I am sure they don't really get any kind of school education in the Congo, were they've been for about 2 years. Leah and Adah are younger, around 15 I believe, and come to think of it they are smarter than Rachel, and they know their words fine. With the years in the Congo and her regular personality, Rachel almost acts as if she is 14 or so (educated wise). I thought that I could relate to Rachel in some way since I am around that same age, but I think that relating to Leah or Adah would be more practical.
