Your Ugly, Too Question # 1

I believe that Zoe's eccentricities were pointed out to show how she was different from other people her age. She is very unique and different from her contemporaries. This is also shown in her interaction with Earl. He seems to be a hopeless romantic and she is the opposite. I think she wants to experience love. However, she never gives anyone a chance because she assumes it will end badly. At times like this, I feel sympathetic the her. However, I don't think I can truly show sympathy for someone that kids around by trying to through a man off of a roof.
