Chapter 21 How Did You Get Over It?

• All of the stories were about her misfortunes with men. She kept repeating, “Women can depend on no man.”
• After a while, Arianna began to tune her out. She had her own thoughts and did not interrupt Helena, though she wasn’t listening much either.
• The woman’s stories became more and more outdated and unconnected. Helena spoke about the unfaithful man she was involved with at Arianna’s age. Then she explained how she went on a hunger strike for an unrelated cause.
