i stress the again part because i almost went crazy when i almost finished my entry and somehow my computer made the page go back. so now im typing it again. Lord knows what is preventing me from spouting words out of my mouth that only demons can decipher. Anyway, Bernice Bobs her hair is about social acceptance and female liberation. These themes appear at the beginning and end of the story respectively. She is tearning for acceptance from her peers after being portrayed as an "ugly duckling" by Fitzgerald. However, when she gets too much attention, her cousin Marjorie, gets jealous and insists that she bob her hair, which Bernice saw was a big mistake when it was too late. The liberation part of the story for me is when she takes her own revenge on Marjorie (LOL) and flees on the train. trully classic!!!
