Assignment 4

I really did not like the story that we read last night because it was depressing. I thought that it gave me a weird feeling when reading it and all I wanted was Connie to get out of the situation that there was way out of.

Task 1:

A) The setting in the second half of the story was at first in her room then outside with the creepy guy. I thought that was important because she got what she said she wanted. She was away from her family and she got male attention. I think that she realized that you need to be careful for what you wish for because that ended up being a bad situation.
B) Connie's character drove me in because I thought she was stupid. I wanted to find out what was going to happen next because I was hoping she would realize that she was wrong and in the end I think that she figured it out. I don't think that she asked for it. There are tons of girls that do the same stuff she did and they just want to have fun not be raped.
C) The main conflict in the story is between Connie and her mother. I really think if Connie had a better relationship with her mom things wouldn't have happened.
D)This story draws people in because they can relate to the character of Connie. She has many sides that could attract many readers. She might also be an advisory to girls who are being too quick to grow up.
E) I think in the end Connie gets raped.
F)I think that the creepy was really good at messing with Connie's mind. He was really condescending and he just kept talking. He probably had a troubled child hood. That's the only conclusion for how he got so creepy. I really don't think that has anything to do with society. Of course that type of thing happens all of the time but not enough that it has to do with society.

Task 2:
  1. an exciting attention grabber.
  2. action throughout the whole story.
  3. rateable characters.
  4. a possible scenario.
  5. not too long.
  6. not too short.
  7. delivers point clearly.
  8. no flash backs.
  9. keeps you guessing.
  10. no difficult words.

  1. 2.
