Summary.
In my ROAR book I read from pages 49 to 88 , which provided me with alot of information. Susanna showed me in the story how she can be normal and crazy at the same time by her actions. Through out this part I read flashbacks and sometimes she thought right and i questioned why she was there , if she started learning. Although what I was thinking faded away as she revealed that she gave blow jobs and didn't seem to care. She shared out her business with everyone and had this weird mentality. Her mentality told me how she switches night and day , she becomes frustrated with parents and she volunteer to go to the McLean hospital.By the evidence I see how crazy she really is since she signed herself up without knowing anything. Susanna is the type of person who knows the right things at time, but there's time she thinks without her brain. In this part of the book also I got to see how the other characters become desperate for sexual interaction. The girls discuss how they'll share boys, the nasty things they'll do, and also how they act out when their in public. IN addition to all of this we were introduced to a character names Lisa Cody. Lisa acted just like the other Lisa and was as crazy as the rest of the girls so she fit in quick. I don't see any hope in them but Susanna but with all these influences surrounding her, I doubt she'll make it out.
Quotation.
" I had a character disorder. When I got my diagnosis it didn't sound serious, but after a while it sounded more ominous than other people's. I imagined my character as a plate or shirt that had been manufactured incorrectly and was therefor useless" ( Kaysen 74).
Reaction.
My reaction to this quote was surprised and I thought of people that go threw the same thing Susanna goes through. I was surprised because I found it akward how she explained her problem like a disorder, even though it was true. She was beating behind the bush or anythign, she simply admit her problem and was ok with it. Usually the patient avoids the truth and acts af is everything is ok with her , when its not like that. I thought of how i nthis world there are people like her that need help, butI feel liek hse doesnt need it as much. I feel like this becuase she knows better when she wants to, but theres days she simply acts diffrent. When shes alone shes a whole diffrent person but when shesi n front of the other girls, it seems as if she puts an act.
