I feel what Nora is feeling. "Looking for a reason to exist" (12). Her favorite philosopher is also MY favorite, the transcendentalists. At this point, the message is that whatever decisions you make, life is what you make of it, and you have to trust those decisions. "They seem so damn happy to have made it, and you don't resent them, but you do resent yourself for not having their ability to work it all out" (60).
