Chapt. 23 Q 2) I think Victor reflects the fact that in such turmoil, prejudice and upheaval, there are always those who fall through the cracks, and always those who are marginalized and hated by all sides. I don't know that it was necessary for Pamela to be a witness to this brutal event, but I think it served to bring home to her just how brutal, unfair and unforgiving life really could be for those on the edge. It certainly pushed her activisim and desire to bring change to Northern Ireland ahead and made the situation more personal and immediate for her. -- Cindy's Cottage

Chapt. 23 Q3) I think most people have been, or felt like, outsiders at some time in their lives, even if it's only walking into a party or meeting where everybody else seems to know each other and you don't know a soul. I've definitely felt like a fish out of water in the last two places I lived, where the majority raved about how wonderful it was there and I wasn't so fussed. My views tend to be a little farther left than the mainstream, as well, and many of our friends are in business etc. and so are more middle, if not right of center. And I won't even get into my opinion on how doctors and hospitals deal with birthing women :) I've never felt deliberatly excluded, though, or as if others were hoping for my downfall.
