ROAR POST

Summary
In my roar book I read through pages 114-158, which is close to the end of the book. The book at this point talks about the hospital and also her life after she left. Susanna was giving us all this time a flashback of how it was for her in McLean Hospital and their actions.Throughout these pages in the beginning she told us more about how was the hospital. She also went through a rough stage , which showed me she is crazy.She thought she didn't have bones so she bit herself until se saw blood. Then she questioned over and over if she had any bones. The nurse Valerie and Georgina told her she did but that wasn't so convincing. This part showed me how she does need help because she keeps nhaving moments of where she's not thinking at all . Then further in my reading , I noticed how it was after she left and her life was out of place. She was married but was unemployed and wasn't able to get a drivers licence. She couldn't because she was viewed as a "loony bird" and because as soon as she said where she use to be everyone treats her different. On top of treating her different they question her as is she was a retard which aggravates her in many levels.

Quotation
" As long as we were willing to be upset, we didn't have to get jobs or go to school. Wecould weasel out of anything except eating and taking our medication"(pg 114).

Reaction
My reaction to this quotation is that these girls are giving me the impression that the hospital is a joke. As if that place was to have them do as they please since the nurses do as they say. Knowing this makes me wonder if they ever want to move past this stage and be able to live life as they please. But as if now the girls just make me think they're even more crazy and need more help. Because I know that, I would despice being watched, token care of and all of that. In life you get to a point where you want to be able to count on yourself and independent. Although these girls have a way different mentality and with that mentality they won't make it through in life
