Bone Marrow

Esch

Esch is the story's main character. She lost her mother at a young age and is raised has soley been surrounded by men her whole life. Her father is an alcohlic and lacks presence in his parental role. With no parental figure in her life, Esch has developed the desire of attention and affection. This is displayed in her dealings with men as she seeks their affection through sex and uses her body to feel as no one taught her how to deal with emotions.

Manny

Manny is described as a handsome young man and is often depicted in a play boy-esque manner. We learn he commonly has sex with Esch and almost any time he is mentioned is has to deal with women. We tend to fall for people with an avoidant attatchment style and give them the chase and given Manny's dealings with Esch and other women, it may very well be the case that he too has an avoidant attatchment style.

Abandonment

When a child is essentially abandoned by their caregivers it can lead to tremendous trauma that takes form in the effects on relationships that the abandoned and other party must endure. You can spot this in many people through various observations.
