Review of Protecting Marie
The title of my book is Protecting Marie by Kevin Henkes. This book was about a girl named Fanny Swan who used to own a dog but her Dad gave the dog away because he couldn’t stand the dog. On her birthday, he gave her another dog named Dinner. Fanny is afraid that the dog might disturb her Dad and that he might give away the dog again.
One day, Fanny came home and Dinner was not there. She was afraid that her Dad gave Dinner away to Stuart Walker who once said, “If you can’t handle the dog, give me a call. I’ll take her in a heartbeat.” This made Fanny nervous and scared. Sometimes she’s angry at him, as quoted from the book, “Even when Henry told Fanny that

    Fanny is betrayed by the father of her child, and the man she is infatuated with, when he abandons her and leaves her to beg in the streets. Her pregnancy outcasts her from the community and ultimately is the reason she is unable to rejoin her former life after Troy abandons her. This is also intersected with the fact that as a woman her situation was frowned upon and she was unable to regain respect in her vulnerable position. Fanny’s position as an unmarried, poor, pregnant woman is what ultimately causes her death of fatigue and starvation. This story of tragedy is similar to Pecola Breedlove’s pregnancy. Pecola was betrayed by her father, Cholly Breedlove, the man who is supposed to love and care for her the most, when he rapes her. This rape destroys Pecola psychologically and causes her to become pregnant. Despite the fact she is pregnant with her father’s child, her community continues to look down on her and outcasts her. Due to the oppression she faces as a girl, she is looked down upon and shunned at her lowest point, rather than cared or loved. The combination of being unloved and shunned, and pregnant with the product of her rape, Pecola is driven to a psychotic break. Both girls are unable to control…

    Furthermore, Connie had very little respect for her parents. She would disobey her mother more than her father, for he spent all his time at work. Connie's mother would ask her to do simple tasks, such as carrying herself in a specific way, keeping her room clean, and going particular places with the family. For example, here's a line from the text when her mother asks her to obey her wishes: "Why don't you keep your room clean like your sister? How've you got your hair fixed—what the hell stinks?…

Stew was married, but his marriage didn't seem to fill the void that was missing in his life, his wife was never home, so Stew was usually home by himself, they had one car so he could come and go as he pleased. He really wanted to get to a store to buy that magazine to see what Kitty had said about him. He was so worried about it, that he imagined what the outcome would be. "Maybe she had written an article about how wonderful he was, and she was too shy to show him right away" (pg. 229) He knew better than to think that because he knew his daughter, she wasn't shy, "This was doubtful. Kitty was quiet, but she wasn't shy. She was untactful and she could be aggressive. Uncertainty only made her doubly aggressive" (Pg.229). His memories of the past was clouding his judgment of how…

    She feels that she is a “burden” to him because of her “nervous troubles”. John seems to treat the narrator as if she really does have something wrong with her even though her “case is no serious”. He tells her that “nothing was worse for a nervous patient than to give way to such fantasies”. He puts the narrator in a “nursery” as if she is a small child. He refers to her as a “blessed little goose”. He also tries to keep her away from all contact with people. He tells her that her baby makes her “so nervous” and when she wants her cousins to visit he tells her that “he would as soon put fireworks in my pillow-case as to let me have those stimulating people about now”. The narrator describes the wallpaper as “torn off in spots and it sticketh closer than a brother,” which talks about her relationship with John which is strong but they still have a few problems. Also she says, “must have had perseverance as well as hatred” which means that she believes in John and thinks that he is doing what’s best for her however she does have a feeling of hatred sometimes for him because he keeps her locked in and doesn’t treat her as a normal…

    She attempts to tell John multiple times throughout the short story about her issues and/or ideas to fix her mental health. John continuously finds ways to ignore or push away any thought that she has towards her sanity. One interaction between the two was when the narrator notices something “strange about the house” (687). When she tells John, he dismisses her worry and insists it's the draught, so he instead shuts her window. The narrator feels anger towards him; yet, she believes it's an unreasonable emotion towards him, and that she’s too sensitive. The feelings that the narrator has, such as being too sensitive, are common reductions of emotion noted by women in a male dominated society. Another moment in time the narrator complained of her room. This was also another problem the narrator associated deeply with, until this was changed by John. For multiple pages before and after, the narrator expresses strange feeling towards her room. If she had changed her room, possibly, the wallpaper would have never been an issue. Instead, John refers to the narrator in a belittling tone and pet name. He laughs at her about the wallpaper, and then hugs her saying she is “a blessed little goose” (689). John does not take her seriously, once again, and treats his wife like a play toy. Right after, the narrator seems to forget all about her worries with the room, she begins to agree that the room…
