I know I'm writing this very late but I figured I may as well put something up. I decided to write about "Bastard Out of Carolina" for my paper because it was my favorite out of all the books we read. I've heard that the author is a very interesting and unique woman and that she has an autobiography out and often talks about how her life as a child compares to Bone's. I think it would be interesting to compare the life of Bone and the author's life and reallys see how similar the two are. I want to know how much of "Bastard..." is actual fact, actual events that the author experienced and put in her book.
