His ability to just walk in to a hospital and get a uniform is crazy. It says a lot about the value of the lower income jobs and workers in this city #367britlit

MT: The final chapter, called "The Art of Travel," is symbolic of the new path Barry is traveling in his life. Travel allows a person to expand their perspectives and see new thing. Barry is becoming more aware of the world he is living in rather than the one he has built in his mind #367britlit

MT: Barry's description of himself as a "surrogate mother" to Maxine rather than describing himself as playing his fatherly role illustrates his decision to forced choice of his life with Carmel rather than it being something wanted and planned. #367britlit

I'm already enjoying Barry as a narrator. The way he describes things makes me chuckle, "it feels more like opening a rusty tin of soup with an old-fashioned can opener" #367britlit

MT: Similarities between middle sister's encounter with third brother in law and third sister at the end and beginning of the book depicts how people in this community are blind to issues impacting them personally, but rather only focus on the ones that divide Unionist and Republicans. ##367britlit

"Also I could wear something lovely, he said. 'Not trousers. Something lovely. Something feminine, womanly, elegant, nice dress.'" This man made me gag🤢 #367britlit

MT: Throughout the novel, ma expresses her disbelief in middle sister. In this setting, it is easier to believe the widespread gossip, what society believes, rather than close relation due to the political turmoil. #367britlit

"'Is that passage about the sky? If it is about the sky then why doesn't the writer just say so? Why is he complicating things with fancy footwork when all he need say is that the sky is blue?'" If had a nickle for every time I've heard this... #367britlit

MT: The narrator mentions multiple times how she, at the age of 18, she knew nothing about encroachment, and since the milkman hadn't actually done anything, there was nothing to be done. Women are expected from a young age about to accept unwanted male attention. #367britlit

MT: In The Pillowman, Katurian has a struggle with justice, confession, and protection. He wants justice for those who were murdered, yet confessed to crimes he did not commit as a kind of protection for his stories. To what extent will someone go for something they believe in? ##367britlit

I feel as though writing a story that falsely tells Robbie and Cecilia's story is not atoning for anything. It doesn't make right what was wronged. Instead, it feels more like Briony making herself feel better for what happened. #367britlit

I found the part with the French speaking soldier very interesting and crucial to Briony's view of the world. I hope we talk more about it. I'd love to hear what others thought about it. #367britlit

Mini Thesis:
Briony is suffering from the consequences of her actions as she ages and matures. These interql conflicts have caused her to separate herself from the family she once thought so highly of.

MT: As Briony begins to understand the reality around her, she seems to feel the need to grow up faster than she needs and has a misunderstanding of maturity. ##367britlit

Though the siblings and cousins all have different perspectives of what is going on at the moment and are at different part of their lives, each character has so much potential for (and has already experienced) so much character growth and development. #367britlit
