i was forced to read this by my english teacher. all she does now, with my health teacher, is talk about the book because "symbols" and "mental health". ugh. probably the worst book i've read.
it's stuff, because everything in it is apparently a symbol, well, according to my english teacher, making it irritating. it's slow to get to the point, and boring, because nothing interesting happens, just her being speechless of how she doesn't move on from being raped. that's the entire book, until she speaks at the end. wow! who would have ever guessed? that's probably the only climatic part of the book, unless i forgot some of it from practically sleeping while being in english boot-camp. i'm not kidding, if you read, keep the forget away from this book, it's cancer, it's old, and it's still spreading because it "teaches a lesson"
Kind of off-topic, but I know your pain. My english teachers in earlier years used to always ramble on about symbolism and metaphor, except that they were usually pretty far off. The thing is that, for some reason, many many people will constantly search for meaning where there is none, because they are unable to take what they are seeing at face value. Why they can't take anything at face value is beyond me.
"nonexistent"
yeah, that probably describes the situation pretty well.
