  Hello Marta...

  ... and welcome to this off-topic cornucopia of wit, warmth, and wisdom
  known as the bananafish mailing list.

  If you look carefully, you might find that Ginny indeed did not throw
  away the chicken sandwich, and her reluctance to do so is emphasized
  by the reference to a dead chick which she had similarly been unable
  to dispose of. The significance of this? Well, it has been discussed
  here a bit, but I don't think that anyone knows any better than you do
  (well, Scottie knows, but the rest of us are not quite sure if we
  know anything).

  The slight confusion evidenced in your question, coupled with the abrupt
  manner of its asking has apparently convinced one of our more prominent
  members that you are looking for help with your homework (forgive me
  if I misconstrue your motives anti-U) and so I advise you to take the more
  outrageous replies with a grain of salt, which you could then use to
  season that chicken sandwich (but be careful about the mayonnaise, ok?).

  all the best,
