I wonder what became of her. I bet she did well.

Damn, it’s so weird hearing the kind of rebellious teen mind in a voice and culture from so long ago. She sounds so mature, so aware of what’s going on. I remember thinking how hypocritical adults were, wanting to break free of all these stupid rules, yet also wanting guidance. But I never put it this eloquently. And yet I suspect that her rebellion wasn’t fully positively received, despite how nicely it actually was put.

I think she was reading, so she had a long time to put her thoughts together. Having said that, I wouldn’t have come up with something this eloquent, as you put it, at that age indeed.
