Summary
For my last post I read through pages 162-204 , which was to the end of the book. The end of the book gave me a better understanding of Susanna as a person and I finally got a answer to why the book was called " Girl Interrupted". Through these pages Susanna speaks of her life after she had left the hospital and all her thoughts. She thought alot about normal topics and why she had the mentality she did. Susanna spends alot of time thinknig to herself and about how she is crazy. She is the type of person that could thing she is alright but she knows deep inside shes going cucu-bananas. Susanna thinks about herself most of the time and tried to understand life in her own way. Getting closer to the end I saw how she doesnt want to have kids or none of that after bumpingi nto Lisa. I foudn that her motivation on planning not to have kids is because maybe shes thinking of her life and how thats affecting her. At the end when shes at a painting galleria with her boyfriend there was one called Girl Interrupted which had the same things she did and things she went through. As she saw this she cried becuase that is what she is , a girl who was interrupted and in her world is being misunderstood.

Quotation
The quotation that hit me the most and stood out to me was at the end of the book. This part leaves you with somethign to think about and brings up many comments and arguments. At the end of the book it was said, " The girl at her music sitsi n another sort of light fitful, overcast light of life, by which we see ourselves and others only imperfectly, and seldom" (Kaysen 204).

Reaction
My reaction to this quote is that this whole book was like To Kill A Mockingbird. The book leaves you wondering of where the title came fro mand leads to a final scene that brings the explanation to msot of your questions. In this book Girl Interrupted was a painting of a girl in her music which describes Susanna and htish er hard when she sees it becuase it reminds her of herself. The book led on to this scence since the book was a flashback and at the end it was a normal day for her until it led to the end where she saw this and gave her final piece of her though. This quotaton tells us how the girl is lost and sees herself alone in the future. I agree with this bok because it goes perfectly with Susanna and it was a good way to end the story .
