Her Last Death ( 121 - 200 )

Summary
     The relationship with Susy and her mom has changed greatly through out the book. Susy has what i thought was a coming of age point when she loses her virginity to her English teacher. I thought this was her coming of age point simply because after what was going on with her and her teacher she cut her mom out of her life. She started to lie about they guys she was with Her mother and her up to that point kept no secrets away from each other until that point on. After losing her virginity it was as if Susy had changed greatly. Even though  she hated what who her mom was she was be coming like her more and more. Just like her mom after she stopped having the affair with her teacher she started sleeping around with men as if it was nothing. She thought life was all about sex just like her mother had taught her.

Quote:
   "Sex is the way of the world." (Sonnenberg 197).

Reaction
This shows just how much Susy's life is all about sex. Her mom taught her since when she was younger that it was the only thing that was fun in life other than drugs. She hated her mother for what she was but, I don"t that she ever realized that she was becoming just like her. This quote shows just how important this is to her in her life. Its as if her and her mother was addicted to it . They thought about it none stop. To them it was all that mattered.
