At what age does the confident woman get her guts?
In Lanes story of Bittersweet Diary, the only thing she was determined to see was age six.
She wanted her piece of the world. She hungered for dignity. I felt like a dog. You know the ones where the jogger is getting his workout but dragging the poor dog along. Dont they realize that even that dog gets tired sometimes?
She longed to know the simple pleasure of feeling ice cream running down her arm on a hot summer day. She wanted to know what it felt like to laugh so hard with her friends when she couldnt catch it in time. Wanting more was only part of it.
