“[The Rosenbergs' execution] had nothing to do with me, but I couldn't help wondering what it would be like, being burned alive along your nerves. I thought it must be the worst thing in the world.” (Pg.2) Ester in this quote gives a small foreshadow into how she will feel about getting electroshock therapy to try and cure her mental illness and her thoughts about it.
