Journal Entery

Date: October 15, 2007

Entery Number: 1

Page/Quote reflection on: Pg. 1

The way this story starts off has to be one of the weirdest beginnings of a book I've ever read. Our Protagonist, Esther, starts off by telling us about the Rosenbergs who were given the electric chair for something they did. "The idea of being electrocuted makes me sick, and that's all there was to read about in the papers..." At least the thought of being electrocuted isn't appealing to her but to start off telling her story with that obviously tells you there must be something not quite straight upstair. In other words she sounds a little crazy. She ends up going crazy, anyway, and that's probably why she wrote it like that. But it seems like there has to be something more behind telling us about the Rosenbergs first off. I'm not quite sure though. I think I'll look into it a little.
