What Is The Blood In An Egg
Plot Points:
Travis suggests they can come here when they have sex the first time. Travis tries to get Nomi to take off the hood that she has been wearing the whole time but she refuses.
After the episode at her uncle's house, Nomi believes that her mother goes into a period of grieving. She goes for long walks at night. She stops speaking. The kids at school ask Nomi if her mother is crazy.

The gender roles are pretty much solidified in this town. The women can work but they are shunned by the other women in the community. The men are the ideal bread winners, their job is to work and earn money for their family. Nomi questions these roles in many different ways. First off, she rebels from religion, then she starts smoking and staying out late, something that was seen as an insult to their family by others. As the story progressed, Nomi started to actually break free, but not before she entered the dark realm of drugs and sex. She wanted to have that ideal family life but after her mom and sister left, she didn't know where she belonged. Those roles that were put on her specifically because of her gender had no meaning to her whatsoever. Nomi describes her mother's attitude as one of grief. She may be grieving because she misses her daughter. She may be grieving as a result of the point to which her brother has pushed Tash by the way he has presented religion. Trudie is also stressed by her younger daughter's reaction to Tash leaving. Nomi not only misses her sister but is convinced that her sister is going to burn in hell. This was the worst possible though that could come to her, she wanted her sister to be happy. This is where the reader reaches a crossroads. Some could feel sympathetic towards Nomi while others could feel different. It depends on the perspective of the reader and their personal religious
