Vita…
Hasn’t seen her father for almost three years
Writes a letter to her father every night, but doesn’t send them because she doesn’t know where to send them; she puts them in shoe boxes at the back of her closet
Burned all the letters to her father in Argus’ old dish and spilled the ashes in Argus’ urn
Knows all of Helen’s lines for the play

Vita…
What Vita SAYS makes me think…She wants to be
beautiful.“Would Daddy think
I was beautiful?”
She’s really jealous that she didn’t have the role of Helen.
“I hate Helen. That’s all I can say. I hate her. Helen McGuire is playing Helen, so Mr. Dodd says, because, out of the entire sixth grade, she most embodies Helen of Troy.”
