Susanna enters her new room at Claymoore to meet her roommate
Georgina. Georgina is seating on her bed surround by books. She has a short
haircut and a sweet, childlike demeanor. After Valeria introduces Georgina and
Susanna she leaves the two girls alone. Susanna and Georgina start conversing
about Susanna’s cigarette box that Susanna believes is the type of cigarettes
smoked by the French resistance. Georgina also speaks about the book she is
reading, The Patchwork Girl of Oz. I find that Georgina reading the child’s book The Patchwork Girl of Oz as a very interesting
detail of this scene. These two women are in the psychiatric program at
Claymoore presumably needing some patching up in their lives.
But, could it be that all of the women at Claymoore are just
patchwork? Composed of different events that have created them into the pieces
of art that each of the women are. They are held together by thread and some
patches are coming a little lose. I think that not only are the women of Claymoore like the patchwork
girl, but the rest of us too. We are all composed of the different events in our
lives and some of us are just better at staying patched together than others.
