For our final discussion on Quicksand, let’s think about Helga’s life after she leaves New York. Write a comment–roughly 150-200 words–in which you consider one of the following issues:
*what motivates Helga to leave New York?
*why does she leave the way she does?
*what’s different about her life in her new locale?
*do you think Helga will again repeat her pattern of enjoying a place, tiring of it, and then leaving it? Why or why not?
*what message do you think the novel conveys overall through its ending?
Then comment on one other comment, roughly 100-150 words.
