Opposites

The novel Bean Trees is told through the eyes of Missy, a small town girl with low hopes of ever becoming something more. Although one day she finally decides to take off from her all to simple lifestyle, and discover what the world has to offer for her.  Unfortunately it doesn’t happen the way she planned. After reading, I learned Missy’s honesty plays a realistic effect on the book. In some cases I rather not known the truth although in others I am glad we are informed. Unlike Missy, Lou Ann is on the opposite spectrum, she became exactly what Missy tried to avoid. Therefore Lou Ann’s perspective isn’t happy but a real  result of what happens when you are not careful.
