Rose Mellie Rose

"I am happy the truck driver gave me his address... I have not forgotten how much I owe the driver. Thanks to him, I'm not a virgin anymore."

This quote, along with some others and certain aspects of the book, really disturbed me. I think it is ridiculous that Mellie let him do that to her without question, and then she is under the delusion that she actually owes him for doing that to her. It makes me question the way she was raised, because I would think her naivety would cause her to be scared or unsure about what is going on, but she willingly accepts what he does to her. On top of that, Miss Martha says she is at the "right age" to be having sex with guys in bathrooms. I am wondering what sort of society they live in...
