I chose number 8 :) !
Well a character that really interested me was Reanne. She is so twisted and messed up in the head. She loves messing with faith and pushing her luck around tough situations. She has nasty and crazy thoughts about guys... She is also a tough chick who will persuade people to do as she says and she isn't afraid to defend herself.
Reanne is like that for a reason. She yearns for her mother's and father's affection. She is jelous of her sister kaeleigh because her father pays attention to her more, but not in a good way. Eventhough she has every single material thing necessary and she's spoiled she lives a difficult life. Her dad always gets drunk and does drug abuse. Her mom has no feelings towards them after they had a car accident.Reanne had to witness her sister getting raped and sexually molested ever since they were 9 . Her dad doesn't allow them to eat because she doesn't want them to hit double digit numbers on their jeans. Since she hasn't received much love then she does anything to feel that warmth once again. Shee does drugs and sometimes sneaks her dad's drugs and alcohol for herself. She is a true badass! She is into numerous amount of men and isn't satisfied with just one. She doesn't really belive in love. She has also have had alot of intercourse with men that aren't good with her. She's a little phsycho because she gets real mad and jelous when her dad rapes her sister she wishes it was her instead of kaelaigh.
She might be crazy or whatever but shes what makes this book so BOMB!!!!!!
one of the reasons i decided to respond to thins is because i have read all of these kind of books by Ellen Hopkins except this one. i think you do a very good just at expressing how you feel about the book. with a CD it would be a lot stronger though, leaving you with good evidence. other than that i think you should check out crank glass and fallout. they are by the same author and really alike accept with he same person, or her kids that she left's perspective.
ReplyDeleteI think that you could have used a bit more analysis in this response. Your summarizations are nice, but I think it would be better if it had some of your opinions on her, like if she doesn't deserve this treatment or that you think that the parents are really unfair. Also, you can maybe talk about the specific events. This would give the reader a stronger feel to your opinion towards the characters. For example, you can use a specific quote from the book about the father being abusive or the mother being heartless.
