Dorothy Allison 2

I kind of want to go off of what our last in-class writing assignment was and talk about the two or three things i know for sure. One that really stood out to me was, "Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I would rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me." and what i got from that quote is Dorothy saying that with everything that people say about her and percieve her as, she would rather go "naked" than walk around with all of these accusations about her. She wants to live pure and have nobody judge her. If people are walking around judging her then these rumors or sayings are going to get around to people and people are going to look at her in a way where she is judged on what other people say and not on who Dorothy really is. Going naked is like a fresh start. People looking at her with a blank slate and not having things said about her.
