Please choose and respond to one of the following questions:
- Eleanor says, “These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare not mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted� (227). Do you agree? Why or why not—explain.
OR
2. Eleanor says, “If someone asks you how you are, you are meant to say FINE. You are not meant to say that you cried yourself to sleep last night because you hadn’t spoken to another person for two consecutive days. FINE is what you say� (226-227). Why do you think this is the case? Do you think Eleanor is FINE? Why or why not?
