Ah, so what to think about the connection between your jaded and faded high school teacher and Becca's father, the Comparative Literature professor who is passionate about her capitalist ambitions (and lack thereof) and only thinks of her music, her storytelling, as an impediment to a successful life? How much of Becca's closed heart is due to her father's closed heart?
