Fun Home Chapters 3-7

In these chapters, it reveals how she has her first lesbian experience which is ironic that it came in the same chapter when she found out that her own father was gay. Relating his death to other books made sense, and was something that I would have never thought of. She new he loved books obviously but it would always be a great wonder if that is actually what his intentions were, to kill himself close to when other writers or characters had died. In chapters following that it was always shown with emphasis that he alwways tried to make her as much of a girl as he could make her.
On page 97 when he is shoving that hairpin back in her hair, I don't think he would have honestly had that much concern wheather it was in her hair or not if she didn't show such great signs of wanting to be a boy.
I thought it was incredibly weird how her father had a picture of Roy within their family photos. Anyone at any given point could have found it wheather he was dead or alive and brought up questions about it. Also how he would bring his latest boyfriend on family vacations would be a giveaway in my mind. Who has a male babysitter that is in high school that you want to travel with you and your family when your wife could? But he always would go places where he knew she wouldn't, so it always seemed to solve that problem for him.
When she explains seeing the woman in the lunch place in Philadelphia she says that she recogonized her with great joy. I think that it must have been incredbily difficult for her to try and figure out and harness those feelings that she had about her sexuality. But now actually seeing a woman looking, dressing and acting exactly how she wants to made it settleing i think to let her know that there are others out there but heartbreaking because she can't be that person now.
Showing time in this novel simply through words and not through the gutter or anything is when she explains on page 168 how life continues after the play had ended when she is still getting her period. Also, movement is also shown when they are showing talking to two people like on pages 167 and 181.
Lastly, on page 191 when she talks about looking at herself in the mirror and calls herself a faggot, I think that he father raised her (not intentionally but just by chance) to be completely ashames of her sexuality. And by her not knowing what to feel or think that is exactly what had happened, and she further explains how she made no parallel to her and her fathers sexuality. But yes I think that being a homosexual can be a learned act depending in some cases maybe how or who you are raised by, but in her situation I don't think that it could have been that way. Her fathers sexuality choices were never out in the open like that to his children so I don't think that would have had much affect on any of them anyway.
