In the second section of The Hotel New Hampshire a lot happens after the hotel is bought and the bates home sold, small things and big. Some of the small things include Frannie's crazy driving causing her to knock down a tree, John visiting Ronda when it rains, and john meets Juniors sister. Most of the big things that occur involve many aspects that have happened in the first section that i have not yet mentioned. As most people call it the butterfly affect I will demonstrate(write) about one of these affects. In the first section Frannie is gang raped and John gets help from the black students of their school, then she asks for Sorrow their dog but as it turns out that very same day they put him down for his offensive farting problem. Sorrow causes a lot of pain in this section, even dead. when he was alive it was just his smell. when he was dead it was the fact that he was not gone and that "Sorrow Floats". As a gift to Frannie, Frank decides to stuff Sorrow. During the process Iowa Bob their grandfather wakes from a nightmare about Sorrow getting ready to attack, then on Christmas when Frank brings Sorrow back into the hotel he hides Sorrow the ever opening closest in Iowa's room, when Iowa drops a weight it opens the closet and out lands Sorrow in an attack pose, scaring the old man to death. though Sorrows troubles do not end there. After receiving a letter from Freud(the first ever), Win sells the hotel to Fritz's circus and they all get ready to fly to Vienna where Freud has his own hotel that needs fixing up. As parents of 5 win and Mary would never be able to fly on the same plan and so win flew in the first flight with his 4 oldest children, and Mary with the youngest, Egg. as a fan of Sorrow(now in a begging pose), Egg begs to bring the stuffed dog with him on the plane. A day or two after the first part of the family arrives in Vienna they hear of the plane crash into the ocean, the deaths of Mary and Egg and how Sorrow floats.
Quote: "it was Franny who said, later, that we must all watch out for whatever form sorrow would take next; we must learn to recognize the different poses."
Reaction: In this book Sorrow the dog only brings well sorrow and he never leaves, he just keeps coming back. The only reason the government knew where the plan crashed was that they saw something floating in the water. John states here how he and his family need to find the next Sorrow before he finds them and messes their lives up farther.
I don't quite follow the description of "butterfly affect" for these plot events
