The first thing that caught my eye is that the book is Dedicated "to the women"
What will this mean?
in Boys and girls
i find it intresint how she uses the statement Red Ballon tied to an anchor - means she feels held down. By her sister? By her Race? Lack of money? No friends? a very profound statement
Cathy Queen of Cats
in this the them of mocin appears. Esperzans has moved many times now her first frind is moving away.
She says its because the area is getting bad. Its intresting how she realizes that its families like her that make the area "bad"
hey blake :) as promised, i'm commenting on your blog haha
ReplyDeletebut i agree. this book is totally different from all the other books that we've read. but i think it's different in a good way. I do like the writing and how they're short choppy sentences/stories. also, in boys and girls i think she's expressing how she feels trapped and tied down in her neighborhood, when she wants to move somewhere else.
I also think that its dedicated to the women who feel oppressed and who are over powered by a domineering male- like so many of the women in the story
