I'm exactly like Meredith Grey.

*so as i wrote this blog, I came up with the title, so the part about meredith is closer to the bottom*
As I was reading this part of the Bell jar, I was thinking that this is probably one of the most pessamistic books i've ever read! Every chance she gets Ester puts something, or somebody down. I personally belive that life is too short to look t the glass half empty, you have to look at it half full in order to get the most out of your life. Slyvia Plath is so descrptive in her book that she makes me feel like i've known Ester and her friends for a long time. Though at some parts, she's a little too descriptive..but other than that I like this book. Its not that hard to get thorugh, and it is kinda of interesting and modern. I also think that Ms. McDonald picked most of these books becuase of their way of showing that women can step out of the boundraies, and not follow the common housewife way of life. Though Ester is kinda young, she still shows that when she grows up she's going to be the next Edna (well maybe not that extreme) but she's not going to get married, and start a family, like everyone wants her to do. (cough cough buddy cough cough) I really wanted them to get married, but then i was thinking, if they got married, this book would be so boring, and unorgiinal, it would follow the same old disney movie plot line where girl meets boy, they get married, have a family, grow old togethe & live happily ever after. So i thought it was good that Ester showed to us that she wasn't going to put up with men, and how controlling they are. (like the control their boats, and cars.or boys are just power hungry.) Another example in this book of boys who like to eat power, is marco. I hate him. I really do agree with Ester and her "women-hater" aspect. What he did to her was wrong on so many levels. And why wasn't anyone there to see it? Weren't they at a public place? Weren't they just off to the side...or am i really confused? But i think what Ester did was smart, and shows why every woman should take a self- defense class, just like the girls from keeping up with the kardashians (which by the way, i don't really watch, I only watched that episode) But think about it, if you were out, and someoem was attacking you, could you really get away? Probably not. The next thing that I found about this book, someone else pointed out to me, and then i followed the common theme. (props to Josh) When Ester goes out and she drinks, she most of the time doesn't get what she wants. This shows that she is unhappy with her life, and that she can never accomplish goals, or even reach them. For example, her summer course that she wanted to take, she didn't like her vodka, so she didn't get to go. Also when Marco ordered her a daquri, she had no control, just like she had no control over what he was about to do to her. So really, her drinks oculd forshadow what was in her future.
Since its Thursdays, and I'm counting down the minutes until Grey's anatomy, I sort of feel like Ester is like Meredith. She is always pessamistic, and never lets anyone close to her in her life. She has majjooor trust issues, and has tried to be in a realtionship (that was on off) and it doesn't last. Just like Mer & Mcdream. After hte interns found out that Meredith was sleeping with Mcdreamy, or when the girls in Esters house found out she was going to prom at yale, they seemed to grow in popularity, and had more friends, trying to get into their life.
Well its 9:00, and Grey's is starting!
