Fast Fashion.



Fashion, to me is about the game of ferocious speed, and the book the Bell Jar by Sylivia Plath underlines that to me. I feel as if there is a since of the idea of speed in the first four chapters. As the reader, it caught my attention like a fire storm gone bad. I could relate to Esther (the main character) in many aspects. From her life challenges to her goals that she's completes, and every step in between.

Esther is apparently an amazing writer, and here paper wins her a trip to New York City. However, she gets tossed in to writing for a major magazine and has to compete with other girls to get the position. At this point, a lot of girls in her position would be happy to get the chance to work there. But to Esther she does not see this at all, she feels a since of displacement form the new environment that she is in. She also, early on starts so see the disconnection with herself.
            I completely feel for this poor white girl. I mean, I always feel this since of I don't belong here all the time. From new city's or locations, and even at times social events. So it's understandable to see how Esther can have the feeling of lose in a big city like New York City. I think it's the sense of self-doubt that's gets a lot of is in the end. I'm excited to see how she deals with this problem in her life.
