Curley's Wife
I am lonely and flirtatious. I wonder what my life could have become. I hear the negative things people say about me. I see their disapproving faces telling me not to speak to them. I want to be able to have the freedom to make my own choices. I am lonely and flirtatious. I pretend to be an actress. I feel angry when I think about how I was unable to take the opportunities that would give me a better life. I cry when I feel lonely and unwanted. I understand how I could have been wealthy and famous. I say that I am a natural at acting. I dream of, one day, being able to take the acting opportunities that I once had. I try to fit in with and be accepted by those who work on the ranch. I hope to someday leave the ranch and become a rich, famous actress. I am lonely and flirtatious. |
