Reading at home Ch. 7

This chapter begins with a letter of a young woman named Ophelia Dahl, which states that she can't live a life with him, she says that she likes the way he is, and appreciates how he tries to help other, but its hard for her to fit in his life. The picture to the right is a picture of Farmer and Dahl which as you can see she was white as snow, and how the book states, she used to get really red because of the temperature of Haiti, but in normal temperature her skin was beautiful. Ophelia standed out in Haiti fir her whitness and Haitians would called her "Blan Blan". Between both of them, there was a lot of love, but while time passed by, Farmer started paying more atention to patients, and Haiti situation than her. Ophelia tried to fit in, she would write notes about everything that was going on, but she didn't understand many thing. She saw that Farmer had changed and she wasn't liking it. This chapter shows how Farmer used to live, he had a big house, but alone only them two and a Haitian woman who cooked for them lived i there. He usually would write in his room; one day he wrote a poem to Ophelia. Farmer didn't had a lot of many, and Ophelia did, she shared every cent she had with him. For me it seems that she wasn't that happy, it obvious that she loved him, because she tried her best to make things work, but at the end she realized how hard and confusing it was, and she ended things, and she left him. At the end Farmer called her a slut for leaving him.
