Oranges are not the only fruit part 1

My reaction to the beginning of the book "Oranges are not the only fruit" by Jeanette Winterson is that I am very interested in the story and cannot wait to see what happens next. I feel this story is interesting because it is a true story about the author and how she grew up in a very controlling home in which her family was very religious. I was shocked that Jeanette's mother didn't pick up that her daughter had become deaf. To me that shows that the mother is very neglecting of her daughter and doesn't care about her. According to what we discussed on Wednesday, Jeanette is supposed to become a lesbian, but I don't think that I have reached that part yet, since she is still seven and still has a while before she develops sexual feelings. I feel that her family seems to be too much into their religion because they get involved in things they should not be involved in. For example, at one point the Neighbors are fornicating and Mrs. White goes there to make them stop. If I was in their shoes, I wouldn't even care, because it is none of my business after all. I feel that the religion could eventually create a void in their family and tear them apart. I also noticed that all of the stories chapters are named after books in the Bible, what is the significance of that, is it to show that religion dominated her childhood. This is also seen in school when Jeanette goes to school and tells some of the kids that if they are bad, they will go to hell. This shows how controlling her family is and how her religion is dominating her life. One question I still have about the book is why in the Leviticus chapter, the story shifts to this kingdom in which the prince beheads a bunch of people. Is this to show that Jeanette wants to be different than her family?
