"I would like, so much, to be one of those independent women like Barbara Stanwyck in baby face or Jean Harlow in Red Headed woman or any noir film in any old movie who can love'em leave'em with impunity."
"These are the same tears I cry when I hear the gospel song that goes This little light of mine, I'm gonna make it shine, and I think of the way that ordinary people are able to triumph, in many ways small and large, over adversity."
" I am an artist manque, someone full of crazy ideas and grandiloquent needs and even a little bit of happiness, but with no particular way to express it."
The writer's style is effective to me because she uses relatable descriptions. She captures readers mind by making them think about a time when they felt like that in a particular moment. The author develops a character by showing her compassion for women. She talks about the empowerment of women by discussing the book "Surfacing" and the female gymnasts on the TV. She wins us over by showing how true life situations can cause depression, for example the end of a relationship. She's interesting because she takes you through all the different levels of depression. First she says she doesn't want to hear from Rafe then she's looking out for his phone call. Then she goes from taking different prescribed drugs to calm herself down. I think this was published and successful because it was interesting, she gave great descriptive insight to what she was going through. It is also relatable to females.
