The Bell Jar: Chapter 16

Journal Enty

Chapter 16
Page 222 Paragraph 4-6
Quote:
"I laid the clippings on the white spread of the bed. 'You keep them,' Joan said. 'You ought to stick them in a scrapbook.' I folded the clippings and slipped them in my pocket."

The taking of the articles means that Esther is accepting that she is crazy. She will always remember her lesson because she put the articles in her pocket to keep safe. Esther sees that Joan is crazy, but getting better, and realizes that she too can get better is she really tries and wants to. I think Esther will make a turn about and get better, and get herself out of the asylum.
