In jenny's opinion, her breasts were too large she thought the ostentation of her bust made her look "cheap and easy." She was an athletic-looking young woman who always had high color in her cheeks she had dark, glossy hair and what her mother called a mannish way of walking (she swung her arms), and her rump and hips were so slender and hard that, from behind, she resembled a young boy. She had dropped out of college almost as soon as she'd begun, but she had finished her nursing-school program at the head of her class and she enjoyed being a nurse. The soldier moved once more and sat beside her. In the movie theater she had to move three times, but each time the soldier moved closer to her until she was sitting against the musty wall, her view of the newsreel almost blocked by some silly colonnade, and she resolved she would not get up and move again.
This was shortly after the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor and people were being tolerant of soldiers, because suddenly everyone was a soldier, but jenny Fields was quite firm in her intolerance of the behavior of men in general and soldiers in particular. Garp's mother Jenny Fields, was arrested in Boston in 1942 for wounding a man in a movie theater.
