In "Bones," there seems to be a lot of separate stories going on at the same time. the reader doesn't know why Ona killed herself, or what was going on in her life. Leon does not speak much. Mason wants to start his own shop. Mah is constantly grieving. Nina has her own life in New York. I think this is a nice way the story is written. It gives me a lot of perspectives because it revolves around everyone's life. And everyone's life is connected by the death of Ona. Her death bought on a lot of suffering to everyone, but its made her family realize what they truly want out of life. Sure the family separated and things aren't as smooth as they used to be but I think everyone went to live the life they always wanted.

Ona's life is just a traggic loss to the whole family that they are yet to get over. Leon and Mah have actually being separed after this incidence which could have brought parents together but the fact that Leila has a little clue of what might have led to her death but did not let the rest of the family know is probably more troubling. They might get a relief from knowing and putting it behind them .
I think its interesting that as a family, the Leongs become weaker after Ona's death, but as individuals, they each become stronger. While after Ona's death the main connection they had was their grief, each of them was able to grow as individuals and live the dreams that they were scared to live before for fear of what it would mean to their family. Ona's death showed them the shortness of life, and helped to give them the push they needed to live their own lives.
