The term "plain" refers to a woman's look as being uninteresting, appealing, or gorgeous. It's not the same as saying she's genuinely unattractive, but it's certainly not flattering. Plain girls are usually considered average-looking or even pretty, but never stunning or beautiful. a b Sorensen, Virginia (1953). "Is it true?--The novelist and his materials". Utah Humanities Review. 7: 283–292. When Esther is forced by the law to begin attending a public school, she worries that she, like Dan, might be tempted by the "evil" outside world and stray from the life that her parents have given her. Secretly Esther is excited about the prospect of attending school, but an important part of herself wants to dislike it, in deference to her father. Janice Sessions, a Jewish New Yorker, feels limited by her plain looks. To compensate, she seeks out the company of other men when her communist husband goes to war. The woman is flawed and sexually promiscuous but her dalliances do little to satisfy her. They divorce, and in post-war New York, she discovers her independence, eventually finding fulfillment with a musician, himself physically flawed, whom she marries and lives with until he dies in his sixties.

The story is slight dwelling on her first marriage and it feels like the couple talked nothing but politics. Granted the political situation in the world was such that no one wouldn’t have had something to say about it but it keeps us from delving into more interesting aspects of the character. After all, politics is her husbands preoccupation not hers. a b c "Virginia Sorensen, Mormon Novelist". Ldsfilm.com. 17 September 2002 . Retrieved 29 October 2020. As a Christian parent trying to raise children to, not shun the world, but to live counter to the worlds standards, that is not the message I want my children to hear. Beautifully written, with engaging characters. Esther really comes alive. The issues she faces are real, and portrayed in realistic complexity. There's humor, and drama, and even disobedience (secrets & lying).Tarsal fixation is the only way for the younger person wanting bright eyes. As the result is obtained without a scar and the surgery does not need to be repeated, there is nothing to be gained by waiting until older. The correction can be done when young for the maximum enjoyment of the benefit of bright eyes now.

Once done, it becomes as if you were born with bright eyes and with all the benefit that flow from having bright eyes, and stay that way to slow the appearance of facial aging. But I will say that it showed the good things about living in a simple Amish community,in terms of how they helped each other, and how in many ways families that love each other are alike. Loved this book. :) There were a few parts that gave me pause because of the questionable theology, but overall, I enjoyed learning about the Amish ways. :)

People fortunate to be born with naturally beautiful eyes, have usually inherited this feature from their mother. Their mother in turn tends to keep those beautiful eyes into older age, which helps her look ‘young for her age’, another revered asset. Whereas, ordinary eyes tend to lose their youthfulness at a young age, some even in their twenties. It does not seem fair for these young women that their eyes do not serve them well in the appearance stakes. a b Sorensen, Virginia (Fall 1980). " "If You Are a Writer, You Write!"
