Today in class my group and I discussed In Country from pages 106 to 163. I was mainly concerned with the relationships between characters and my group and I discussed that thoroughly. Shiori and I discussed the idea of the characters having a feeling of lost identity or confusion. Emmett seems to be keeping a secret about the origin of his pimples. Sam is keeping a secret from her boyfriend Lonnie. (Sam has feelings for Tom, Emmett's friend). Sam's mother and Sam has a strange relationship in that sometimes Irene acts as Sam's mother and sometimes she is too selfish and only cares about her new baby and treats Sam like a stranger. I commented mostly on character-character dynamics and through further reading I think the true personalities of the characters will become more clear.
