MT: how cats are treated in the book represents how women are treated throughout history. The cat that was killed via a WWII bomb represents how women are historically mistreated and that women will always be mistreated because history repeats itself. #367britlit #milkman

MT: Carmels makeover near the end of the novel is symbolic of her character growth. While she does grow in ways that are positive, she ultimately still remains rather hateful and full of grudges- in the same way that makeup can enhnace one's features but not fundamentally change them. #367britlit

Carmel kind of sucks in the sense that she's abusive, but I do still feel bad for her. The situation has been all kinds of messed up from the beginning #367britlit

Despite the seemingly randomness, the dance the girls do at the end of the novel symbolizes the greater forces at play in the novel and represents a feminist vision of hope #367britlit

These tangents are crazy, it's easy to forget what's going on in the story. I felt for middle sister when she was talking about the issue women though. Between other things she's said and her thorough discussion of them, it's clear how much she yearns to be part of a group like that. #367britlit

Mini thesis: The treatment and perception of clones closely mimics systems of slavery throughout history and illuminates the way that superior classes have rationalized slavery and humanity's role in the creation and destruction of life. #367britlit
