The bell Jar

This story was about a girl named Esther who is about to be released from an asylum. She was allowed to go in town one day and she happens to meet a professor named Irwen. Esther has one thing on her mind, losing her virginity. Irwen takes her back to his place in which they sleep together. Esther didn’t even know if she had lost it or not, but all she felt was a sharp pain. After wards Esther noticed how blood was gushing from between her legs. At first Irwen tells her that is normal, but when it wont stop Esther gets nervous and ask to be taken to her friend Joan’s house. Joan quickly calls several doctors and after four of them refusing to take Esther they finally take her to the asylum hospital. When Esther was fixed and feeling better she gets news that Joan has killed her self. Joan was Esther’s best friends and this was a real shock for her. Then the story jumps to when Esther ex boyfriend, Buddy comes by because his truck gets stuck in the snow. He seems worn and he asks Esther if he was the one who caused her to go crazy. Esther just laughs and reassures him that he was not. At the end of the story Ester nervously waits for the doctors to see her so that she can be asked a few questions and be released.
When I first started reading The Bell Jar I was confused and I didn’t like the way the author was jumping around so much, but once the story really got going I was completely absorbed in it. The author really just threw you into the story with no background to really grab. It also jumped around a good bit, but over all the entire story really caught my attention and I really enjoyed it. There was pieces that were left out that I would have liked to know like what was Esther problem that was making her bleed so much. I would have also liked to know more about the death of Joan like how she had gotten out and did have to do with Esther sickness at all. This story over all was very entertaining.
