The story is about a girl, probably in the twenties, who hates the whole world. Not because she just hates it, but because the world hates her. Everything in her life comes not to her plus, she’s just an ordinary girl. The girl people don’t care about, she’s all on her own. She’s used to say “fuck it”, and then push all her thoughts away, when things do not ends up, to her good. Trough the whole story she talks like a person who’s from the lower order in the society. </o:p>

In the story you get that impression, that the family on her mother’s side is a posh family. When she was a child she was having a nanny, who was giving her money all the time. Maybe it had been the nanny who was taking care of her, and her possible siblings. The mom had maybe been at work all the time, or something else which doesn’t include kids. </o:p>

</o:p>

The narrator describes the nanny more specific and warm in the story, than her own mom. Actually we only hear that her mom hates her, and didn’t even wanted to pay her own daughter out of jail. “My mother wouldn’t even put up the ?500 bail for me. I guess I understand her point. I’m bad news.”(p. 11 l. 128-129)</o:p>

In the way she’s talking about her mom and money, it’s also shows that 500 dollars, isn’t that much at all, it’s just a little sum of money. It would not look good, if other people saw, that the mom had paid her out. What would people think, if the knew the mother was supporting her criminal daughter. It’s like her mom doesn’t want to be seen with her daughter, she’s pushing her aside, only because of what other people thinks. Because of that, it also shows that the narrator is from an environment, which is very fine. Those things she is doing, doesn’t fit in there, she’s not a part of the fine family. </o:p>

</o:p>

The narrator doesn’t have any personal thing, which is special to her. The only thing she feels like she owns is a bench, a public bench in a park. A bench other people can use, if they want to. </o:p>

When other people sit on her bench, she panics and feels like they’re taking some of hers. </o:p>

“When I get to my bench and it’s empty, it’s as if I’ve been waited for. Like an older cousin who stops and holds out a warm friendly hand, not minding being last together with you.”(p. 8 l. 20-22)</o:p>

When she describes her bench, she is looking back of her childhood. Maybe she was the youngest child, the annoying child, the child which other children’s, or siblings, doesn’t wanted to play with. The one who was always left behind. Maybe her mother was busy taking care of her other children’s. The narrator simple just become used to be left behind, being the annoying kid. </o:p>

Because of that, she learned how to take care of herself on her own, with resulted in robbery and jail. She compares the bench with one of her older cousins, a warm person, who doesn’t care about being left behind with the little annoying girl. The bench is always there, always waiting for her, she can count on the bench. The bench doesn’t just moves from one day to another. </o:p>

She knows where the bench is, it would never move, and it would never leave her, not as everyone else had done. She uses the bench to some kind of a support, actually you could call it her best friend.</o:p>

</o:p>

The narrator doesn’t have any real friends or a boyfriend. She was in love with a guy, who only wanted one thing of her, sex. She had taking it all so serious, she really thought, that he was in love with her. It all seems so good and nice. But the day he found out, that he had got her pregnant, he stopped all contact to her. He said that he didn’t wanted children, not with a trashy whore like her.</o:p>

</o:p>

She sits at her bench in the park, not really care about the baby, or the fact that she had been with a totally idiot. She just doesn’t care, fuck it. The only thing she cares about is getting the baby away.</o:p>

A lady sits down at her bench, she’s telling her about that she can’t have children. The narrator seems not to care, and says that it’s none of her business. Then she starts thinking about it. She could have the baby, and then give it to the lady. The lady wanted a baby. She tells her mother about the idea, but it doesn’t fit in to her ears. </o:p>

“Don’t you DARE give my granddaughter away.” (p. 12 l.156.)</o:p>

Her mother only thinks about herself right in the situation, it’s her granddaughter, not her own child’s daughter, but her granddaughter. </o:p>

The narrator goes to park several times, but the lady just isn’t there. </o:p>
