Freewrite on Bastard out of Carolina relating to video posts
Use specific scenes, do not summarize, and avoid jumping to conclusions-
Allison telling of Bones first (and maybe only) experience with Glen sexually abusing her and how confused she was but didn’t summarize and showed the thoughts of Bone to help the reader to put in her awful situation.
Show contrast between reality and expectations-
Showing that Bone was hoping Glen could be the man Anney needed and then showing him hurt Bone and that it isn’t what anyone, reader or child, had originally thought was going to happen in the car.
Showing conflict- Man vs self
Allison shows a conflict internally with Bone after the incident in the car where she now struggles to find out why it happened, if it really even did happen, and whether or not Glen could really love her ever.
Symbolism- with the fire that Bone masturbates to
I love this symbolism; passion and desire and even the power to save one’s own life would just get one excited and overstimulated in general.
