NOTE: This novel is intense and mature on several occasions. The following subjects will be approached with maturity and an educational perspective. SEXUAL CONTENT • The novel revolves around a female character going through several marriages in her search for love. Several explorations of love including kissing and scandal • Men watch women as they pass in a sexual way •.A young girl discovers her sexuality by watching bees pollinate flowers. The scene is written fairly erotically • A married couple have a high-emotions relationship. At one point, they begin a violent argument that leads to them making love on the floor of their house. • The main character is the result of rape VIOLENCE • The main character is the result of rape. • A girl is slapped by her Nanny several times for kissing a boy • In her search for love, a female character enters into more than one abusive relationships. She is hit on several occasions. This is usually depicted as tragic as she leaves most of them. The only exception to this is the final marriage she has, which leaves the morality of the beatings more ambiguous since they are also described as loving each other • Delirious with rabies, a husband tries to shoot his wife. She has to shoot him in defense. This is also the climax of the story and very intense RACISM SEXISM AND SOCIAL NEGATIVITIES • Christian elements are depicted throughout usually as foolish, corrupt, or hypocritical • Inequality and discrimination are major themes of the story. Racism is depicted throughout, but never in a positive light. • Feminism is explored as a female character has to persevere the control and abuse of the men she is in relationships with throughout the book. She is controlled and manipulated. This is not depicted in a positive light. PROFANITY • h*ll • d*mn • b*tch • n*gg*r • c**n • d*ck NOTE: these words will not be openly said in class DRUGS/ALCOHOL • Characters smoke excessively throughout. • Consumption of alcohol to drunkenness
