Most of the stories depict a world full of misconceptions and overly scrutinized facts that deal with an indirect narration of the past. The story is long and dramatized to the point of disbelief. That bastard Caroline is just that. On the contrary, this book is simply realistic. Comparing the global sufficiency established by Dorothy Allison's idea of ​​the 1950s to that of today's standards, one might consider this world to be something out of a fairy tale; not really a fairy tale, but more of a nightmare tale. To the surprise of readers, this fictional story is based on the author's personal experience. In conclusion, what is said in this novel could be directly compared to life as it was in the 1950s in South Carolina. It is in particular the Whites of the time who are analyzed and compared. Allison was born into a macrocosm of poverty and sexual abuse. For her, it was the normality of existence at a young age. His life parallels Bone's existence in the book and provides an ideal structure on which to base the fifties hypothesis. What was sufficient “back then” is very different from what was expected and sufficient from today's perspective. Sufficiency is based on a linear social line of expectations. Society’s norms and ideologies also move in this direction. Define what exactly sufficiency means in this context: Sufficiency is the normality or acceptance of a certain level of knowledge, income, and interactive structure in a society. Essentially, it is what is considered “enough” at a given time. In the 1950s, for example, expectations regarding roles within a family were extremely different from those of today. Acceptance of a role today is more freely accepted than in the middle of an article... here. We can set the bar higher in terms of sufficiency for them because of technological advances that were not present in the 1950s and we can have more expectations for their future, but from a young age it comes back more to inherit a burden or a luxury rather than something unique. can control. Undoubtedly, one can break free from one's inherited lifestyle, but it requires motivation and determination. Anney's head was straight; she was unlucky enough to fall into various "destiny" driven struggles and enter situations blindly.
