"Snap out of it, you retarded girl-person. Where is your mind? Where is your heart? Where are your eyes? Where are you ears? You've been blocking out everything good in life and concentrating only on the ugly and the bad. That's sad. Its bogus mogus, and you nogus it. If this little fragile bird creature can get its life together after its smashup, surely you can too."
What just happened was, that they found a bird and it was hurt. And that after it felt better, it was happy and singing. So Nancy, was saying that after she was raped, she became all depressed. She just wants to be "happy and singing" , in other words, she wants to be happy again.
I chose this quote because, I like that she knows she can get back up, and become more positive. She knows that she needs to go back to her old self. She wants to feel happy again.
What happened after was, she named that bird Impericle. That name was a little secret between her mom and herself. Personally, I think she did become more positive. There were stll times when she was sad, but she got over it quick. I think the bird helped.
Nice blog post! I am wondering, what book did this quote originate from? I think Nancy was a sweetheart for just taking the bird off the street and raising it on her own. Anyone who is raped aren't usually the type who can get back on their feet easily and this character is a brave young fella' for trying to be happy again.
ReplyDeleteI like how you chose this quote because life is all about being positive! :D This bird, Impericle is a blessing because it's rare that you come across any of these little creatures that makes you happy after a horrid situation.
Thank you for sharing your reflection in this blog post! Take care!
