I agree with what you have to say about Sal seeking for a
long lasting, true love life. The experiences he shared with Terry led me to believe
he was maturing not only as a person, but as a future caring husband and father.
It was evident that he got the job of cotton picker because he felt obligated to
provide for a family that wasn't even his, but he took the role of the common man
of the house and stepped up to provide for them. Since he moved on from Terry, I
thought it would be hard for him to find another girl he connected well with,
but thankfully he has found Lucille. Not much has been said about Lucille, but
just to guess on the kind of woman Sal wants and needs, she pleases him
sexually, knows how to have a good time, and is someone interesting who is full
of surprises. From the beginning of the book it has been stated and restated
that Sal is looking for his true personality, but a partner in love is a very
large part of one’s personality, and so it seems fit to say that, just how he
was subconsciously looking for his personality, he has also been subconsciously
looking for true love. Finding out who he truly is will be hard, but if he
finds his soul mate, the road to self-fulfillment will be easier and more
enjoyable.
