"You don't think so, or you don't think that I'm the one?"
serious crayons:
I understand Cassie's motivations in that scene just fine. It's Alma Jr.'s I'm not sure of. Does she know more about her dad than she lets on and is giving the brushoff to someone she has reason to resent? Or does her sort of blank expression indicate she's perplexed, too?
Come to think of it, there is something I don't get about Cassie here. What exactly was the "point" that Alma Jr. got across to her?

I've wondered that exact thing. Anyone?
henrypie:
Well, my parents got divorced when I was thirteen. My dad remarried pretty soon, and I was okay with that because I wasn't very connected to my dad. When my mom started dating, I was a horrible creep to the guy, because I was jealous and threatened, because I felt very connected to my mom. Alma Jr. is no horrible creep, but I'm sure she's jealous/protective/insecure/grouchy about anyone going after the parent with whom she has the closer connection.

The point is that Alma Jr. doesn't think much of Cassie, and certainly has no personal affection for her, but if her dad is going to marry, she (Alma Jr.) won't get in the way.

I hope its not off topic but... I just have to say I really liked Cassie. I found her to be refreshingly honest. She wanted Ennis-so she went after him. She wanted to know more-so she asked Alma Jr. She wanted to know why she had been dumped- so she asked Ennis. She didnt have the emotional baggage the other characters had, (at least none that I could see). She fell in love with Ennis. Certainly she cant be faulted for that.
