Seedfolks, Paul Fleishman novel study: Ana reflections

reflections of Ana's monologue chp.2 : We think Ana thinks negatively of others, is constantly suspicious of others; she is the typical "nosy neighbor" spying on, wondering about other people's business, watching; enjoys gossip and gossiping about others; slightly creepy nature; territorial of her space/neighborhood; maybe Ana should involve herself in the community directly instead of watching from afar. We think that she judges others harshly; we don't approve of her discrimination; she needs to readjust her attitude towards others - it's rude and disrespectful because we should embrace diversity; stop being the nosy and creepy neighbor. I think Ana should "move on" with her life and not get caught up in the drama of the neighborhood because it seems she has nothing else to do but spy; she could have been hoping that the community would return to its original days with other Romanians; she made a good choice to stay on and see how the community evolves over time; her choice to stay may turn out to have a positive effect/influence on her; she can't "let go" and wants to maintain a close connection; it's surprising because she seems to be critical of everything and everyone, so why not leave and move on? but Ana LOVES the drama of the community she may learn that people are good, that you shouldn't prejudge others on their ethnic background; she may learn to trust in others; she may not change her attitude/perspective of others; others may change the way Ana thinks of the world; she may "repent"
