Internal Conflict

"In fact, I hardly saw thier contorted bodies because I was focusing on the faces. " (134)

Kathy never mentions looking for her model. Even while she flipped through the pages of that magazine she could not really tell why she was doing it, she herself hadn't fully developed this idea yet. And over the course of the story she never admits to looking for her model. This goes along with the idea of her not fully understanding herself before she became a carer. Also, this is an idea that never really receives much thought after Tommy confronts her about it, and they go on to hunt for the tape. Well, its only natural to want to know who she was modeled after, to know what their life is like. I wonder what would happen if Ruth did actually did find her model. Obviously, it could not have played out the way Ruth imagined. So, what if Ruth were to go and talk to her? I guess that this detail was left out because most possibilities end in some body taking charge of the situation. Maybe they would relocate her, and take away driving privileges, so she could not try to go back. This is just one possibility, and I am sure that it best that the character only dream of their models, proving once again that they have souls. With out souls, they would not care where they camme from.
