Virgin Suicides pg 61

" As he did, however, the ghost turned, and he saw that it was only Bonnie, wrapped in a bedsheet. "Dont worry," she said, quietly. "They took the fence out."

I feel that the way he described her and the way he thought of her as a ghost was foreshadowing what she will become. I think it showed that she will kill herself and become a ghost just like Cecilia did. I also think it characterizes Bonnie because she is described as being wrapped in a bedsheet. When I heard that I thought of a kid dressed up for halloween in a white sheet. I think that shows how immature they all are because they dont seem to be morning over this death at all, or they are all doing it in a weird way. Overall I think that these lines have a very strong meaning behind them because they show the foreshadowing that Bonnie will eventually kill herslef, maybe not in the same fashion as Cecilia, but she will die and become a ghost.
