I would appreciate hearing your reactions to what you are reading as well as descriptions of the events in the story. For example, have you had the experience of family members commenting on your appearance and it making a strong impact on you? My wife, for instance, can remember her sister calling her a "fatso" when she was just three years old, so the opinions of our relatives about our weight or appearance can leave a lasting mark.
返信削除Sounds like Victoria's father is quite controlling and dictatorial. That must have some influence on her self-esteem. It's strange that he thinks teaching isn't a "real job."
