"You're Ugly,Too"
At first, I felt really bad for Zoe. She was making her life a joke, but it seemed like deep down it made her sad. She made a joke about her not getting married when she said "I'm not married? Oh , my God..I forgot to get married"(30). I thought this was funny, but at the same time I felt bad. I thought of those people who joke about themselves to cope with sadness. Then, when Evan tells her she is getting married she is just blank. I think that showed that she really wished she could get married. Also, on page 363 when it says "This was what she'd become:a woman alone at the movies with everything in a Baggie". This allows shows that she isn't content with what she is. By the end of the story though, I really didn't like Zoe. She was so rude to Earl. He seemed genuine, and she didn't even give him a chance. She then pretty much called him a "fag" on page 369, and she pretend to push him off the balcony. None of this is funny. It is just plain rude.
