Westover says, “My mind
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Westover says this about her roommate because the girl dresses in a way that is inappropriate for the Mormons Westover grew up with.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Westover grew up in a very conservative Mormon community.
  • She didn't have access to anything at all and didn't know how the world worked.
  • She was taught that women who show their shoulders, wear fair and popular clothes are immoral women and that they do not correspond to the way a Mormon woman should dress.

When Westover goes to college, her roommate dresses exactly that way, but the girl is a Mormon, which leaves Westover surprised, as the girl doesn't dress or behave the way she was taught.

This question is about the book "Educated" written by Westover.
