| Well one may link this to awful experiences in one's childhood, but it seems that the repetition of patterns through the paragraphes rather highlights the notion of trauma encountered by children under 10-12, than the reason of trauma. Under that age, children lack cognitive development that helps them to rationalise painful experiences (and I'm absolutely not reducing the effet that rape might have on a child) the brain prefers to push away, to forget, to put aside. This experience influences your whole affective and cognitive development, and may give an impression of "a child grown up too fast" or "an adult who isn't grown out". And that seems to be expressed by the last sentence. | |
