Freedom in the cracks, self-expression and social expectations.

Jesse, an admissions teacher who can read on the way to the laundry room, just ended her relationship and agreed to attend the former professor's resignation dinner. Praise the "first favorite" professor in front of the "second favorite" professor, and face the professor's dissatisfaction... Whether the professor is surprised by Jesse's sophistication, zibby's evaluation of Jesse's dress at the party, or Jesse's age calculation It's full of such themes, "social expectations" jesse's embarrassment when a female professor passes by while reading a vampire novel jesse talks to a female clerk who matches her age, the professor's speech about age jesse rejects zibby, but goes out with a female professor who has the same age gap In the end, social expectations stopped Jesse from getting up the sheets. Zibby was used to the days without Jesse and looked forward to growing up. The protagonist of the story ultimately does not cross his inner moral standards, although there are also many people who do not care about such moral standards, such as the hat brother who may be an alien. If you are not bound in one place, you must be bound in another. No one is not living in the gap between self-expression and social expectations. Such an implication is too pessimistic. jesse is pessimistic, zibby is optimistic, they have the same language but different courage to life. Some people feel resentment all day long, and some people feel happy by observing the lines on the incense sticks. It's easy for people to take their perception of the world as the whole picture of it, even when you try to tell yourself it shouldn't be. The female professor is like this, the suicide boy is like this, jesse may or may not, but zibby is full of hope, she sees herself as a rough but full of potential script, even if jesse tells her that there is a world called adult world place. People who live a happy life will not be troubled by the meaning of life, but if you are the unfortunate one, you may be like the boy who committed suicide in the film, unable to resist the helplessness of life prematurely. For many writers, pain is the theme of life. For many scientists, when the higher part of their intelligence is consumed by science, it is even less likely to fall into the trap of self-entanglement and find happiness in the little things of life. Everything will be fine, zibby is holding the poetry collection Jesse has sent, the clerk smiles and leans against Jesse's arms, and Jesse closes her eyes in a thoughtful blank.

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Jesse Fisher: I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. It's just infinite choices ahead of you. You'd get out of school, and anything could happen. And then you do get out, and... life happens, you know'? Decisions get made. And then all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there. At a certain point, you just got to go, "Oh, I guess this is new its going down." And there's just something a little depressing about that.

  • Nat: Is your name... Ethan?

    Jesse Fisher: No, why?

    Nat: You look like an Ethan to me.

    Jesse Fisher: My name's not Ethan.

    Nat: How cool would that be, if that was your name and I just, like, knew it?

    [Jesse shrugs]

    Nat: Are you a student here?

    Jesse Fisher: Uh, no, but thank you for thinking that. You?

    Nat: Nah, man. Just here visiting a buddy of mine. It's not a bad place to kill a little time, huh? I'm Nat.

    Jesse Fisher: I'm Jesse.

    Nat: Do you hear that music, Ethan?
