At first it was 13-year-old Cecilia. The little girl might not really want to die. Who would have thought that she would die if she jumped off the second floor? Especially before, she had witnessed a young boy from a new immigrant family jumped from the four-story roof of his house without injury. Maybe she's just playing around, or wanting the damn guys to pay attention to her, of course maybe she just wants to get rid of things quickly. But it just so happened that the little girl who believed in the Virgin died of a "serious sin" suicide.
But wait a minute, when the priest came to visit this family, their conservative parents turned out to be very indifferent. Are they really that religious? Compared with the well-dressed middle-class women in her neighbors, Mrs. Lisboa obviously lacks charm. Such a Puritan-like existence can't even be integrated into the daily activities of the women on the phone. Other people's home entertainment is tennis is the swimming pool, and Lisbon home is the evening TV time. She is a social loser above all. Living in her own community without female friends always reminded the invisible barriers around the housewife. So it seems that Mrs. Lisbon’s tyrannical management of her daughter is just passing on the unfairness imposed on her by others to her own daughter. Sadly, she didn't notice it until the very end.
Youth can't tell the level, but which step youth can go to can only rely on the financial and material resources of the family behind it. Children from poor families have short adolescence, which is common knowledge in society. Mrs. Lisbon has ruined such a short youth, and the good time has run out. At this point, there is no difference between suicide and running away. Separated from all the young playmates and went to a public university, can the four sisters successfully rebuild their identity?
Poor Lux can only be the queen of the school prom by relying on the school grass Trip. The sack-like skirt delayed her good figure. The real queens are actually those noble children who first entered the social world after graduating from high school. They are the fan of Yale prep students as soon as they appear. The customized skirts are like little hibiscus flowers. The parents of those children wished that their children could find male and female friends in the same circle.
Of course, the above are some secular stories, some silly gossip about class, comparison, conflict and vanity. For those adolescents, the five girls of the Lisbon family were their first myths, and they were not so experienced at the time. They share music through the phone, they communicate through flashing lights, and they watch through the binoculars at the window. But these boys didn't say a word, for example: hi, Bonnie, the last dance party was very happy, can I still date you?
If they could shout outside the door earlier... this youth wouldn't be too bad.
