From the Paper:

"Several important insights were viewed when reading this book. While the girls sought to be happy with one another, the aspect of no one truly accepting them other than the lesbian teachers seem to drive them into each others' arms. This allows for a very close-minded environment to be established in the book--something that seems unfamiliar to a city such as New York. While individuals may not have chose to accept the behavior, the storyline of rejecting the relationship seems to only build the morals of the story of accepting those of different ways."
