The Bell Jar ~ Week 1

The book I chose to read for my end-of-the-year book report is "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. I began reading it a few weeks ago and I thought it would be perfect for my report.
The reason I think this book would be a great book to do is because it is an American classic. It is memorable for the author's ability to portray the very real process of becoming insane, despite the unlikeliness of such a serene character losing her mind. I think the idea of the explanation behind such a strange person's thoughts is so fascinating and I would jump at any opportunity to look at it in a deeper way, as this book report is allowing me to do.
I am slightly afraid of digging too deep into the book, as it has been known for evoking thoughts of suicide in readers due to its purely depressing tone and layering of events. This is especially scary because the visual that I am using as an accompaniment to my report requires every ounce of my ability to become the depressed main character. I will have to find a way to portray the woman's emotions in her dystopic life without harming my own view of the world and its qualities. Fingers crossed, everyone.
Sayonara!
