Susana is now involved in an affair with her English teacher, Dr. Crawford but he allowed her to call him Wyatt. She lost her virginity to him and they occasionally had sexual encounters when his wife wasn't home. He told her to promise that she would keep their relationship a secret. If she told this would result in him losing his job which was why she didn't tell anyone although she was dying to tell anyone. Susy’s mom wanted to take her on a trip to Mexico, just the two of them. Everything was going smooth until her mother took a comment she made the wrong way. “When you were in Payne Whitney he gave me a book about- What does that mean? What the **** does that mean?” I’m not entirely sure what upset her mom about this but she kicked her out the hotel room for a little while where she wondered alone and met a man. He tried his best to convince her to have sex but she refused. After some time passed, he himself decided to tell his wife what had been going on. She explained to him that she would allow it to continue so they no longer needed to cover up anything. Susy was unaware of how she should act around Mrs. Crawford and how uncomfortable the vibe may be. Her first year in college she began to drift away from Wyatt and began a new relationship with a boy named Jason. He told her she’d “jeopardized his marriage for selfish wishes and her craven need to feel special” until she stopped answering his phone calls. Susana formed relationships with numerous men. She went from Jason to Noah to Gordon to Christopher. Jason just wasn’t meeting her standards, Noah had a gambling issue, and Gordon left her for Holly, the girl that would often show up to their parties. She’d struggled to get over him which stopped once she met Christopher. She just didn’t know how she would get him to agree upon sleeping with her. She needed it and it bothered her that he wouldn’t cooperate. Eventually she got what she wanted. Her need for sex became out of control and she started doing it with everyone, literally.
Quote:
“Sorry, I said. I should walk you down, he said. Otherwise people will think I’ve paid for you. But I don’t look like a hooker. It doesn’t matter what you look like. But whom you are with.”
Reflection:
I read this quote and I was beyond confuse but could somewhat pick up on what the man was trying to explain to Sue. I didn’t understand what the difference would be between him walking her down and her going alone. What would make people think that he paid her if she was by herself? What made him different from other men that were in Mexico? It gave me a small idea of how people there think when they see situations like that take place although she didn’t fit the image of a hooker. When he was trying to have sex with her but she told him no I saw the Susy I saw in the beginning of the book come out but this made me wonder how she could have become obsessed with sex later on in the reading. I don’t understand a lot of the things that occur in this book but I read it because if I understand everything I would take less interest in it.
