Rossy was a lonely child who has one little brother Miguel but she always felt lonely, her mother and father left both children in Dominican Republic to move to United States looking for a better life. While Rossy was growing she was hearing and seeing things that no one else couldn’t see or hear but her. As a child she used to have long conversations with friends and actually seeing things went nobody else was there just her, Rossy was purposely looking for place in the house where she could be by herself and has her conversations. One of her favorite place to be was the “patio” backyard, specially evening time, because it was dark, just the light of the moon, a few stars, so she could have nice and calm conversation about anything and everything with her friends and seeing how thinks move or faces in the sky smiling at her. Talking to herself …show more content…
was becoming a normal behavior for Rossy, sometimes people could hear her talking a loud, like her brother was passing by her and her her saying, “Yes, I know that exactly what I thing about it” Her bother looks around, noticing that she was by herself and asks “Rossy who are you talking to? Nobody, I just talking she used to always reply to him. You’re crazy! You told to by herself? Only you! “I like to talk to myself there’s nothing wrong it me”, that was her only respond every time someone said something about it. Rossy grow up and didn’t have friends or socialized until she was in 7th grade, and even thought she was always alone, maybe have only one friend. Therefore she prefers to be alone and continues talking to herself and her imaginary friends. When she went to high school , she begin to be more friendly and hang out with a group of her classmate , but it was just to fitting in, so no one couldn’t judge her or said that she was an antisocial. However her conversations with herself never stop, she can talk about how her day was any school problems, family issues or the boy she may like and have her own opinion or advised of how to resolve an issue or dilemma without been judge by others. Because her imaginary friends were always on her side, giving her good advised, showing her that love and support that when she needed, they were basically her family , her imagination was creating those friends to help cope with her missing her parents and been raised with people that were no good or supported to her. As an adult she always has been questioned for having those conversations with herself by others, her husband was one of the one that make comments about her behavior. Frank never undertook why she prefer to talk to herself that to him, he was very friendly, liking to talk to anybody about anything without problems, her personality was the appositive of Rossy because she was very shy and kept to herself.
Are you crazy “who are you talking to?” “I never see someone talking to herself so much like you do!” Rossy begin to feel some type a way, because she didn’t think that it was a problem to talk to herself, those conversation was making her feel good, releasing her stress and anxiety, she was a child but now she was trying to hide it and control her behavior because nobody understands. The bathroom in her house was the best place for Rossy to be, she waited to everyone to take shower and she tend to go inside for long period of time and talk and talk and talk with friends and hear what they have to reply to her, sometimes she was feeling weird and ask to herself “am I crazy? Do I have mental problems? Rossy , didn’t knew what was wrong with having those moments because in reality she was enjoying these conversations even though is seeing like it was an abnormal behavior for
others. She enrolls herself in college and while studying psychology she begin to think that she was probably suffering for some type of mental health issues because it no a normal behavior for an adult to continues hearing and seeing things, however, she believe that her behavior is normal and that there nothing wrong with talk to herself as long as no one get hurt. the voice she was hearing were just telling her to continue been the good person she is, that only cares about other, those voices and things she has been seeing all her life, were product of her imagination to keep her with good vibe because she think that we live in a world full of hate, discrimination, racism, stereotype,people who don’t care about other feelings and are for the most part judgmental . Rossy , believe that without her imaginary friends and the voices she’s being hearing , she will be completely lonely, hopeless and sad, with her imaginary friends she crated own world , full of love, caring peoples and happiness.

Baby narrates her story through her naïve, innocent child voice. She serves as a filter for all the events happening in her life, what the narrator does not know or does not comprehend cannot be explained to the readers. However, readers have reason not to trust what she is telling them because of her unreliability. Throughout the beginning of the novel we see Baby’s harsh exposure to drugs and hurt.

It was very similar to hers, containing multiple cookie-cutter homes and an assortment of businesses, except no one was there was her color and no one in her neighborhood was their color. All of them had chocolate skin with eyes and hair that were all equally dark. Across the road to her right, a yellow fence contained honey colored people. She enjoyed seeing all the little, squinted almond eyes, much smaller then her own, which were wide set and round. One little, sunshine colored boy with dark straight hair raised his arm and waved his hand, but before she could do the same back her father called her into the house. His lips were pressed and his body was rigid, the blue of his eyes making direct contact with her

Jeannette Walls grew up with her 3 siblings and her dysfunctional parents moving around constantly. Her family lived in extreme poverty her whole childhood. Her father was a violent alcoholic and her mother didn't want the burden of children. But when her father was sober he taught her important life lessons. When her mother was in a good mood she taught her reading, writing and arithmetic.
The narrator’s journey into insanity is caused by her husband isolating her from societal influences and also the long period of time in which she was imprisoned without anything or anyone to stimulate her intellect. While some critics may claim that she was insane upon entering the mansion, it is clear that she was able to think and reason well and be able to hypothesize during the first few weeks of her confinement. By feeling demoralized and useless in the presence of her husband, and also not being able to vocalize her own treatment options, she slowly became the incompetent women that needed her husband to dictate her life. In the end, she escaped the realism that she felt was holding her from expressing herself and became an individual not scared to express what she was to her husband.

Her mother was very close with her parents, two brothers, and two sisters. When her grandmother was diagnosed with asthma the family had to move. In those days a warm and dry climate was recommended, Arizona was the chosen state. Because her grandma could never quite leave home, KY, the family made many trips between the states. These trips back and forth dominated Marie’s childhood with her uncles and aunts being her childhood playmates.
