How Does Sookan Change In Maturity

When she does speak to others, her father is skeptical of what she has said. This is evident on their bus ride to Bend when she engages in a harmless conversation with the women sitting next to her. Her father tells her “you were talking to that lady sitting next to you. She is watching us. What did you tell her?”

We see this when she talks to the Reverend to give him an idea of what to say about her late husband at the funeral. She only has negative things to say about Bud. Anytime the Reverend says something that he could say that would paint her husband in a positive light, she quickly corrects him and lets him know that is not who her husband was. She decides on what to put on his tombstone and tries to bypass the rest of her family, knowing by hand the task to relay the message off to her nephew. She wants the tombstone to read “Mean and Surly”.

Overall, Sookan changes numerous amounts of times. I picked the three times when I felt her change affected the book in some way. These times made me as a reader realize the true meaning of the book “Year of Impossible

(Didion, 88)”. I think is very relatable to most people, as I can remember many a night, and day for that matter, where my mind wanders back to something stupid I had said or done in the past, months, even years

In Year Of Impossible Goodbyes Sookan goes through a lot of changes. One of the ways Sookan changes in the book is when she grows out of her fear toward the Japanese. Another way Sookan changes in this book is the time when she realizes that family is the most important. The third way when Sookan changes is when she becomes less reliable on others and more independent.

Y’all watch her in case she collapses dead of hunger.” (8, K.Stockett) To think it was her lack of empathy for the African Americans would be reasonable for her to raise her voice at her mother, or it could be her intense hatred for her mother. Maybe even both could be in effect. Another instant of her being cruel is when she deliberately shows how malicious she is by leaving out Celia Foote of The League even though se offered to help with the Benefit.

In "Year Of Impossible Goodbyes", there are three moments that define Sookan as a character. When grandfather passed away, when the war ended and the Russians invaded, and when Sookan took care of Inchun until they crossed the border. All of these moments help her mature into a better person.

Her body's punctuation was fierce and prominent. She would stand there yelling and hollering with the same rigid posture a Nazi officer would have practicing in front of a tall mirror singing "Deutschland erwache aus deinem beinem bösen Traum!", and on every moment she decided to take a break she would light up a cigarette like red glowing full stop at the end of a sentence. Also, she would have this talent to work in poetic metaphors to camouflage her cruelty to justify her poetic accusations, which integrated with my own susceptible personality, something I cannot un-condition in later
