Bechdels Readers Response 2

This story was very confusing to me I dont know whether it was because it was in a comic strip form or what but it was very hard to understand. This story seemed very dark and lonesome. Them living in a funeralhome is already creepy enough. Her family didnt really communicate with each other her parents were both engish teachers but they didnt really pay any mind to their kids. They showed no type of affection to eachother or to their kids which was very sad. Alison tried to talk to her mom but she didnt want to be bothered by her. Her father was weird he kept primarily to himself and was actually contemplating suicide which he ended up commiting because he didnt like his life. I dont think I couldve been Alison because her life was to dry and lonely. Her naming this story the fun how is ironic because her flife was the complete opposite. When her family was out fin public you would believe she had the perfect family but behind closed doors they struggled even communicating with each other. This goes o iin many peoples lives. They may seem alright on the outside but you would never know whats going on in the inside. The family decide to tell peole that their father was hit by a tractor trailer on route 150, which completely false because he decide to commit suicide. The story was very disturbing in the fact that she had such a lonely up bringing. Im not really into the kinds of stories so it wasnt that relateable for me.
