RR#2 Alison Bechdel

What I got from the story was that she felt that her whole family was living separate and some secrets lives. She blamed a lot of it on the fact that they lived away from the rest of the world. Even after the fact that they stated to be connected by roads and just the growth in society. She talked about her father having to be someone that he wasn't that he was kind of playing a role as a father and husband. That deep down inside he was torn about his sexuality. That being one of the main reasons for him ending his own life as well as the fact that he felt a lone. I loved the way she compared the dream she had of the sun setting before her father could see it to a sign of his upcoming passing. The pictures gave me great detail into what her life most of been like. How her family was always busy doing their own things. How it had made them all independent but at the same time also made them more isolated. When her mother was working on the play and they over heard her father’s voice she talked about how it was the same way in life both of them living only just to bass by. I could almost put myself into her shoes feeling what her and her mother both might of felt. The feeling of sadness because he was no longer there. I think that she focused a lot on the fact that her town was cut off of the rest of the world because she believed that if her father could of somehow got away he might still be alive.  Over all I thought it was a good story and I could see myself almost living her life as she did.
