Detailed plot synopsis reviews of White Oleander


Plot Summary Part 2


Astrid gets banged repeatedly by Uncle Ray. She makes sketches of his large p_nis, heh heh. Uncle Ray stuck a finger inside her v_gina and then put his finger in his mouth like he's tasting a fine wine, instead of sucking on remnants of blood, urine, and other secretions. Then he pulled Astrid on top of him and had her ride his p_nis like a "horse on the surf".


Starr suspects something is wrong when Ray has trouble getting an erection, saying, "You used to get it up fine, before you started fucking that little bitch." Starr wonders how Uncle Ray can be attracted to a 14 year old with no breasts. I wonder this as well. Starr theorizes that because Astrid is smaller, perhaps her v_gina is tighter which increases Ray's pleasure during sex. Could this be why Ray likes boning 14 year olds?

Astrid was sexually excited to learn that Ray couldn't get an erection for Starr, but only for her.


Starr suddenly appears topless with a gun. She has two huge breasts. She shoots Astrid twice,not with her huge breasts but with her gun. Astrid starts bleeding.


Astrid goes to the hospital. Her caseworker decides she shouldn't be with a large breasted foster mom who shoots her twice. When she recovers from her bullet wounds she is placed in a new home, with Ed and Marvel Turlock. Marvel is a woman. I didn't put either in the main character list because they are not consequential to the story. In this part of the story, Astrid spends quality time with Olivia, the black lesbian whore next door.


Astrid tries to procure some drugs for her and Olivia, but doesn't have enough money. A fat boy offers to give her drugs if he sucks her p_nis behind the playground. Astrid agrees, becoming a full fledged whore while at the same time losing any sympathy the reader might have for her.  Astrid didn't enjoy sucking his cock like she did Ray's but does it for the drugs.


Astrid takes the drugs and smokes them with Olivia, the black lesbian prostitute. Olivia insisted Astrid dance with her. Olivia held Astrid by the waist, telling Astrid that she, Olivia, is the man in their relationship. Olivia, remarking how young and impressionable Astrid is, fantasizes about turning Astrid into a lesbian.


When Ingrid finds out that Astrid is hanging out with a black lesbian prostitute, her mother writes her a letter where she calls Astrid a retard.
