Journal Entry

Chapter 17
Page 228 Paragraph 9
Quote:
"After the nurse left, I tried to puzzle out this new move on Doctor Nolan's part. What was she trying to prove? I hadn't changed. Nothing had changed. And Belsize was the best house of all. From Belsize people went back to work and back to school and back to their homes."

Doctor Nolan wants Esther to get better. She knows that Esther need encouragement to get there though, so she tells her she is getting better. Esther doesn't feel like she is getting better though. Esther thinks she is the same. Maybe that is because she can't see herself improve.
