Jordan, as I said, I never finished the book. But from what I do remember hearing about it, she wrote about her first two attempts and she even wrote about the future third attempt with she was going to attempt. I think I’ll finish it finally.

She wrote about three suicide attempts, the third of which worked? And she wrote about it? Hm…
We like others to know about our pains for some reason. We love it. If you don’t believe me, take a look at Facebook statuses, many of which are “Name is tired of this crap” or “Name is so, so hurt.” I’m not sure what people expect, revealing their depression (or otherwise overreaction) to the world. A sympathetic word will not cause our pains to cease existing, but we enjoy it when others try.

There is actually an entire kind of autobiographical novel about Sylvia Plath called The Bell Jar. I remember reading maybe half of it last year but I got so tied up in other things that I never got to finish it. I remember that it was first written under a fake name to hide Plath’s crazy ways. I believe it went into detail about the three suicide attempts that she tried to commit. However, the third one, which I mentioned above, she actually did succeed in. It’s crazy for me to think how this woman put so much into her own suicide, but simultaneously, wanted to reveal all of this self-hate to the world in a book.

Sylvia Plath did commit suicide by sticking her head in the oven and turning on the gas. I think first however, she baked placed out bread and milk for her children and sealed the kitchen off from the rest of the house and also left a note for the neighbor to call the doctor and she had arranged for someone to come and take care of her kids.

So at least she wasn’t careless? She’d attempted to suicide before and this time, after her husband left her she succeeded.

I thought the poem was really vivid she seemed so fascinated by the fact that she’d cut the tip of her finger off. It seemed very detached, tone-wise, even though there was a hinge in the middle of the passage, : )

These new groups will be interesting…

Bicarbonate has dissociated into carbonate ions and hydrogen ions…

And I still don’t really like the name Cornbread (I’ll get used to it soon).

so i’m pretty sad i had to leave (white) bread and butter we had some good times there. but now i’m the only girl at my table. I think our name is ($$$)…i don’t think Mr.E accepted our other one. anyways, i find it interesting that Sylvia Plath committed suicide…does anyone else? i mean she was doing well by writing all these amazing poems, so why kill yourself? i know she probably wrote such good poems because she was a wack job, but i find it sad that she had to resort to that! especially with her children around!!!! okay well that’s what i believe. have a good night everyone!
