She tries to walk home but gets lost and decides to go back and sleep at her grandparents’ house. She has been a kindergarten teacher for seven years and knows that she is very good at her job. In 2011, the National Institute of Health suspended all biomedical and behavior studies on chimpanzees. She remembers the bicycle she lost and Madame Defarge from “A Tale of Two Cities”, two things that are missing in her life right now. Rosemary had thought she’d have more time before seeing Harlow again and wasn’t prepared for this encounter. One day, a girl named Rosemary is riding her bike to school. Her first memory is touching and looking at Fern after she’d been bathed. Fern’s mother was killed and she was bought from poachers in an attempt to save her. She remembers there being an aquarium in the hospital waiting room. With Lowell gone, Rosemary’s social status has dropped again. At first, Rosemary worried that while she was at school, Mary would charm her mom into liking her more than herself; however, all day long Mary slept and eventually left the family for good without any explanation. She plans to get drunk and tell Harlow about the lecture, but Reg is there as well. The student tells Rosemary that Fern was taken to a farm but rather into a lab where she was put to live with other chimps. Lowell, who is in jail for a series of crimes he committed while still at home (attempting to kill his mother and step-father), has been there since three months ago. Meanwhile, Lowell is arrested by the FBI and charged for his role in Rose’s kidnapping. Since then he has never been close to his sisters again. Fern was confused and was also violent when Lowell approached her but there was no way Lowell could have taken Fern away from the lab. Lowell told her about experiments involving exposing beagles to radiation, hitting fully-conscious baboons across the head, and smearing chemicals into the eyes of rabbits. She also says nothing at dinner. In first grade, Rosemary transfers to a school that solves problems in an alternative manner. Rosemary dreams about working at Gombe Stream National Park and being with the chimpanzees. She had been placed in an enclosure with other chimps, but she hadn’t been introduced to them slowly because one of her captors didn’t care about her well-being. After Christmas passes however, Rosemary tells her parents about Lowell and also about her feelings of guilt. However, she doesn’t tell her mother who is too fragile at this point to handle such news nor does she tell her father because he might not be able to do anything anyway since they’re in financial trouble themselves due to Lowell leaving which means less income coming in for him so he probably couldn’t afford any legal fees if something happened etc…. For example, Harlow asks Rosemary if she loves one parent more than another; this question seems dangerous for some reason. Rosemary thinks about Fern constantly but doesn’t mention it at all in her narration of what happened during Christmas vacation. Rosemary keeps interrupting to ask about the story, which aggravates her mother because she thinks that it is rude. Rosemary walks behind the glass wall, waits for Fern to make eye contact, and then signs her own name as well as Fern’s. Rosemary says that she knows Lowell blames her for Fern’s disappearance. He had no choice in this matter, as he was not powerful enough to stop it from happening. Rosemary learned to say ”bye-bye” first, at age 1 year-and-a-half, while Fern learned sign language before learning to speak. About We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. As the train leaves, Rosemary hears Mary say: “You love Fern.” She thinks about all of the times where she wished Fern had been there for her as well as all of those moments where she feels like Lowell is right; however, she realizes how much it hurts so badly because even though he may be right about some things (i.e., being jealous), it doesn’t make things any better or easier on either one of them emotionally or psychologically speaking. The interrogating officer doesn’t come back; instead, a woman arrives to tell Rosemary that she can go home now. Her youngest child, Hazel, is now two years old and learning sign language from her mother. She realizes that she was the “consolation prize.” However, Rosemary is aware of her behavior but refuses to change it. This causes Harlow to fall in love with him and become an activist herself. While it’s unclear if chimp memory is as good as human memory, Rosemary believes that Fern still knows who she is. After Fern disappeared, Rosemary began behaving in a destructive manner and she even began to hurt herself because she was left without the ‘’person’’ she grew up from the moment she was born. Rosemary writes about her childhood. A student named Harlow begins to fight with her boyfriend in the cafeteria. It turns out that UC Davis is far away from home where they live now because FBI agents told their family about an address in Davis belonging to someone named Lowell around 1987 after which time he left home without telling anyone else where he was going or why he had left so suddenly. It’s about finding your sister and mother, even if they’re not what you thought they were. In another memory they have just had a snowball fight with friends from school after playing in the snow all day long without shoes or socks on their feet as they loved doing this very much! He is glad that Rosemary has a friend in Harlow now since they both need someone after everything else that has happened in their lives recently. Rose calls her father who helps get her out of jail. They told Lowell to leave before calling police officers because it’s illegal for humans to have contact with wild animals without special training or permits. After Fern disappeared, the family slowly became normal again and Rosemary’s mother snapped out of her state and became once more a loving mother. It turns out that this whole thing was made possible by Fern being away from home during that time. In the first, Rosemary and Fern are both three years old, and are sitting on a loveseat while Rosemary’s mother reads them Mary Poppins. She is estranged from her father because he lives far away and they only see each other during family gatherings.
