She notices details that others might not have noticed and uses her perception of Dr. Gordon to shape how she proceeds during this appointment. For instance, she almost immediately believes that Dr. Gordon is conceited because of his family picture he keeps on his desk that almost faces the patient in his office, rather than himself. Esther also does not enjoy how he phrases the questions he asks, specifically, he asks her to “try and tell me what you think is wrong,” (TBJ, 129).
