"She was quite frightened of him [Eric Clapton], didn't like the way he played mind games." I don't think I would like being in a relationship with someone who plays mind games, so how can she? (Ask)

What can Eric Clapton give Patti that George Harrison already has not? George gave her a nice house, a party lifestyle, connections- seems to me like she made the wrong choice. (Ask)

"The thing about pessimism is that in most cases it's nothing more than a front behind which a body can hide its most sweet yet painful hopes. Please forgive mine." (FAVORITES)

Ask: How long will Pattie chase the rockstar lifestyle before she realizes its all superficial and only temporary?

Writer's strategies: Patti Boyd frequently uses long, drawn out sentences when talking about staying home while George and the Beatles are on tour. This is probably to express her boredom and how everything moves slowly without her rockstar husband.

Ask: My question is about John Lennon's retaliation after someone had slipped LSD into his coffee and the coffee of his band mates/ all their wives. What did he do to get back at the guy that unexpectedly did this to them?

Favorites: "Sometimes a song would come to him in the middle of the night and he would wake up in the morning and immediately start to play so he didn't forget it..." (81). If I was Patti, I would love to wake up to the sound of a possible hit played by a Beatle himself.

Inference- I think due to Patti and George's not knowing each other for a long time before getting married, that is what will compel her to leave him for Eric Clapton. She did not know what she was doing at such a young age.

Argue- Boyd writes, "A girl who doesn't have to rely on her looks for her living is far more confident, and confidence is attractive- her looks are not integral to her self-esteem. Ours were" (50). I think this is somewhat ridiculous; she is complaining about the challenge of being a beautiful model that lacks confidence. Additionally, if looks are integral to one's self-esteem in any career, they should quit.

Inference: Patti Boyd will fall in love with George Harrison after hearing his band and their music for the first time. She also will probably fall in love with the rockstar lifestyle.
