Also, it can be hard for kids to learn to grow up and accept responsibility because they realize they have to care for themselves out in the world and sometimes it feels like time is slipping by fast and the childhood dreams of being protected are slipping away and you see the reality of trying to make a path on your own. In this way, Mclean Hospital could also represent a barrier between the real world’s responsibilities that the patients aren’t yet ready to face. There was no school today or tuesday due to 3ft of snow which will give me time to finish Girl, Interrupted and analyze it fully for my ap world history teacher which I will also have for psychology next year. I think I’m going to love psychology next year because one of the books that is read is Girl Interrupted and i already have a head start, also I love learning about the mind and how people think. I feel sad for the characters in this book and I almost feel like this book sheds light on lots of issues of adolescence into adulthood and the meaning of life. In the book, Susanna also is curious about Jim Watson because she feels like he has discovered the secret of life and she wants to know what it is, she wants something to let her know that life isn’t just passing her by and that there is a place and meaning for her in this world. In the book, Susanna talks about how she sometimes envies those people who are self-assured and have a future because she is uncertain where her future is. This book has given me insight on how sometimes I feel in life, drifting wondering if I can achieve the goals I want to in life.
