RE: Starting Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

As of right now, I only read up until page 53 (Leviticus) so I'm limited with some questions..

Some questions I have:

• Why are the chapters all named after the first eight books of the Christian Old Testament?
• I think the chapters are all named after the first eight books of the Christian Old Testament because it emphasizes how religious, strict, and old fashioned Jeanette's mother is and how Jeanette's life revolves around the Bible. 
• How does Winterson use humor and/or irony in her novel?
• Page 3: when Jeanette lists the friends and enemies; she declares herself as a friend ... "at first". 
• Page 8: Pastor Spratt; he was once an advertising manager and claims to know "about bait" and how "there is nothing wrong with bait". 
• Page 16-17: We learn that Jeanette went to the bathroom with her father and even slept with her parents in bed from the age of 7 until 10 years old. 
• In general, how Jeanette is constantly alone/neglected by her parents, specifically her mother who is this holy going Church woman??
• Page 27: "I tried to build an igloo out of the orange peel but it kept falling down and even when I stood up I didn't have an eskimo to put it in" - symbolic of Jeanette.
• Page 30: "All things fall and are built again And those that build them again are gay". 
• Page 36: Jeanette's mother is going through her past; how she got the nickname Jesus Belle; how she saved a picture of her ex boyfriend's (Eddy) sister holding a cat (maybe she once had feelings for women as well or still does but chooses to ignore it). 
• What foreshadowing do we have in these early chapters that this will be a coming-out novel? 
• Some of the examples I referenced in the previous question. 
• What is Jeanette's mother like?
• Jeanette's mother is very old-fashioned, strict, and religious. She's also neglectful as a mother to Jeanette.
• What is this church community like? 
• I think the women of the Church community are easily persuaded by men that preach. Also, it's more of an excuse to meet with one another and gossip, not strengthening their relationship with God. (I could be wrong though).
• Why do fairy tales appear in this novel? (like the Leviticus ch. (61-67))
• I didn't get up to this chapter just yet so I'm gonna presume they relate in some way to Jeanette and the challenges she faced. 

What questions do you have?

• Why did Jeanette's mother have a picture of Eddy's sister still? Is my accusation correct?
