The Bell Jar

I started to read the book The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. So far this book is about a girl and her friends being in high school. They go and hang out and they smoke cigarettes and they drink. The main character is under the name as Elly, but th at’s not her real name. They call her Elly because she didn’t want to tell the guys her real name and where she was really from. They spend all night out and they order drinks. They order drinks and get drunk. Elly only orders straight vodka. Then they go over to Lenny who is Doreen’s boyfriend. Doreen and Elly are staying in a hotel together. When they go over to Lenny’s house Doreen is drunk and her and Lenny and they bite each others ears and take off shirts, it’s weird. Then why they are doing that Elly walks back to her hotel which is forty-three by five blocks away. By the time she gets back to her hotel she is sober. When she gets home she goes and gets in the bath. She likes really hot baths, like as hot to where it may burn you to put your foot in. She sits in the bath and feels that it makes her feel purer. Elly gets out and then goes to bed. Later on that night she hears knocking at her door and she hears someone calling her name. Doreen is at her door. She doesn’t feel like getting up so she waits awhile. She then gets up and she carries her in the door. Doreen is so drunk and so she puts her on the floor because she starts puking. She leaves her there for the night and when she wakes up in the morning the puke is cleaned up and Doreen is no longer in the hallway. She woke up in the early morning and she went to her bed.
