The Bell Jar
by
It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn’t know what I was doing in New York.
I know you this but i don't know why. I am reading this book because I watched a documentary on Sylvia Plath that centered on the Bell Jar. For some reason, i connect to Sylvia, almost as if she is mirroring me, which scares me a bit but pulls me in at the same time.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may
come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
