Repeat

This is the first time in the story where the connection is made between Jean and Stephanie. It is about how it doesn't matter where you are in the world, the role you play is important. It also introduces the first page of the book, and illustrates how mundane and repetitive the main character finds her life. As if her life was set to Repeat!

Soccer Moms

Soccer Mom-

In the story Me and Jean, the main character is torn by being a soccer mom.  

Here is a little something from the book:

I don’t like the term “soccer mom” it is less of a term and more of an unwanted brand, people give stay-at-home moms to make them feel worse about their lives. None of my friends want to be called a “soccer moms”, I specifically got rid of my minivan to avoid the label. Standing up for soccer moms everywhere I would like to say it is a lot of work. What the outside childless judgers don’t realize is soccer momming could be a full time job. First there is the gear, then the snacks, then the fold out chairs, the other moms gossip (it is high school all over again, and I am the weird off beat art kid no one likes to sit next to at games), the meetings the tournaments, it could really take half your day if you let it. I refuse to let it. Soccer you will not win, you will not beat me.
