Susanna describes the layout of her wing of the hospital. She tells of the blackboard that names all of the girls and their locations, the seclusion rooms, and their own dormitories. Every week the girls go out to ice cream at a local parlor. They were told to behave as well as they could but some still chose to act out. They just wanty to behave as themselves because as they say "It was all [they] had-- the truth" (51). Susanna explains the routine of checks that go on in the hospital. The nurses routinely open the dorrs to the patients rooms and say "checks" as they scan the room for the people they are looking for. Another Lisa comes into the hospital. She is also a sociopath and falls under the wing of the original Lisa. She ecentually escapes and becomes a junkie. Susanna debates on how long it took her to be admitted into the hospital. The doctor claims that it took much longer than she believes.
1. What purpose does the blackboard in the wing serve?
2. How would yopu react if you were subjected to 5, 10, or 15 minute checks.
3. How did the girls react to the second Lisa, specifically the original Lisa?
4. Who do you believe in the theories of how long it took Susanna to be committed?
1. The whiteboard tells where all the girls are at all times.
ReplyDelete2. I would feel like a child and very controled if i hard checks.
3. The orginal Lisa does not like the new Lisa and competes with her. The other girls do not like the new Lisa ether.
4. I believe the hospital because Susannas mind is unreliable.

1) It tells where all the girls are at all times.
ReplyDelete2) I would find it very annoying and irritating, everyone needs some privacy.
3) The girls did not like the new lisa because she tried to be like the old lisa.
4) I believe the hosptial because her mind was probly racing when she found out she was going to be committed, so she most likely lost track of time.

1. The blackboard helps track down all the girls to know where they are.
ReplyDelete2. I would be annoyed because 5, 10, and 15 minutes are all really short times, and that is too much.
3. The second Lisa tried to dominate the original Lisa, but the original Lisa would try to act more crazy to win her dominance. The girls liked the original Lisa more.
4. I believe the hospital.
