When reading this, I just felt anxious and scared of and for Junie this entire time. I don’t think that’s the intended feeling for this but dammit I felt it nonetheless. This narrator: whether (Reflexive) History be judging Junie, a Grade A Stalker and Hacker, the Father in third person, the haunting spirits of the dead children (which wouldn’t make sense since they write the articles as well, supposedely at least) or so on and so on, this all feels freaky on that end. Especially when they (unindexed and unidentified narrator who reacts to the Junie family) go and nitpick grammar and constantly belittle and pin all blame to Junie as being a clear rational agent. Very freaky reflection of modern journalism that’s completely sensational (like Yellow Journalism) and there to spin half-truths or not the whole but big enough of the truth stories.

On the other end of the aisle is the factors that lead up to her birthings and clubbings of the children and the choice she ultimately made. (Now that sounds like a weird compatabilism type of outlook to “Free-Will” and “Determinism,” yet I follow more of the Carnædes philosophical line on fate.) In any a case, society at large hadn’t properly instructed her on committing to safe sex (or made it sound serious enough), had reinforced no communal ties which forced her into desperation, presumably we are dealing with a post-partum mother which already will develop some lines of depression and act more dysfunctional (which is very orderly and done by the mind+body to avoid a greater pain), the means of subsistence where probably piss-poor for her to not support the kids and yet she ultimately had the choice of suffering the great pains of being a mother in her society or, which may seem irrational but is very much rational in an unconscious sense, to keep one alive as to make herself feel a lesser pain of had killing the two others than to suffer the pain of killing all of them as to avoid a Réal pain of caring for all three and them dying one-by-one to her situation.

Which ever makes this feel real and horrific in my eyes: that we got individuals that develop dysfunctions such as that to avoid greater pains, which ultimately is rooted by the economy, culture and ideology of society; equally so that society will not do anything to prevent another Junie but rather find ways to punish “a Junie” harsher after “a Junie” had done the deed, the crime, the sin and the unforgivable acts. In all such cases, it forces those “another Junie” people to do it more quietly or more smartly, or even to just end the life-line there. Too much Horror in such a small post like this; highly reflective of our bland reality and why it is so miserable to stare at...

So keep on writing and happy steeming!...
