After finishing this book I came to conlcude that her saying it can be the truth or fiction was based on peoples believe. She stated in the book that her aunt didn't believed she was rapped because she only believed whgat she chose to believe and that same statement goes for who ever the listener/reader is because wether they believe it or not it is truth to her.
The cycle of women in a lot of families are the same or have similar oputcomes. Very few women have the strength to change. I believe it has to do more with them seeing the life and turing the look on it negative so it would be something they hate and want to change, It's like a family curse.You can't stop all habits you will eventually pick up some but it's the ones you choose to keep that make you stand out from all the rest. Dorthy's two or three things..., were a lot of truthful things about life and it help me understand the situations she was explaining better. My favorite two or three things was the one where she stated you can love and hate something and not understand why. i believe this is true about nost life instances and people settling for things they truthfully can hate but at the same time it's like they love it because they stick with it in a sense.
