Picture: 1960s Dentist


I selected this photo because it illustrates the setting of a dentist's office. Susanna has to visit the dentist's office to get her wisdom teeth removed. The reason this is so important is because Susanna freaks out when she wakes up from the anesthesia. She wants to know how long she was out, "It's my time and I need to know how much it was" (109). Susanna keeps stressing that she needs to know how much time elapsed during her surgery: "'See Valerie, I've lost some time, and I need to know how much. I need to know.' Then I started crying." (109)
