“TOWN TATTLE”
She is quite immature and impractical on this new life that Tom has given her
“let four taxicabs drive away before she selected a new one”
Dog is a permeant thing, she wants this type of life to be pernemant
“I want to get one of those dogs”
Myrtle tries to change herself just to have this new life
“personality had also undergone a change”
Lies about her dress and life
“it’s just a crazy old thing”

Full of life and strength
“vitality”
Her jealousy toward Daisy and her life, victim of Tom’s abuse
“I’ll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai –” “broke her nose”
George does not provide nor satisfy Myrtle
