Rita refers to Frank's room as a "a perfect mess",because she thinks he has good taste to decorate his room.Everything is in a proper place.During the scene she tries to define and understand Frank's personality by describing the room.I think Frank has his own "mess",his life is not in perfect order at all.He has problems with alcohol and his wife.
According to Rita's view, proper students are the ones who read and study a lot.In fact,she idealizes them and Frank explain that they are not always studying as she imagines. I think that these two points are connecting,the fact that Rita find the room as a proper one has to do with the image that she has about the proper students.
What Rita doesn't want to miss is the chance to be one of them.She wants to improve her life but what she doesn't know is that she is changing Frank' life.

How many interesting ideas you've mentioned in this entry, Marucha!
Let me see if I can somehow organise my reactions to them:
* I do agree with you the Rita's idea of what's "proper" is idealized, both in the case of students and Frank's room. Any idea about whether the steretypes she has in mind come from?
* Why, do you think, might Rita be so interested in becoming "a proper student"? And if you think about what she believes they're like and how they live (young, always discussing academic issues, knowing it all...), can she ever become one of them?
Looking forward to your next post!
Warmly,
Gladys
I think the idea of Proper Student is completely linked to the society one is in. In our society, Proper Students are people who study at the University or Boarding school, who gets a degree.According to Rita's believes they are like she can became one of them.But I believe that a proper student is a perseverent student.who is determined to do his best to reach his goal.
So, she can became one of them,but the most dificcult part is to turn her into somebody who is eager to learn in order to grown.
Big hugs!!!
If she want to become one, I don´t think it is impossible.
