I really admire what Valerie is doing. Even though a lot of people hated her she went back to school anyway. She faced her fears and went through a whole year. She made friends with one of the number one people on the hate list and she got over Nick. She came to realize that nick was dead and no matter how many people hated her, or how alone she felt, he would never be there.
I think Valerie was admirable because she faced her dad during her parents divorce. I think that was one of the most scary parts of the book and it made me scared for her. She dealt with it the right way, I think. She handled it on her own AND she told her mom and Dr.Heiler about what happened.
When Troy threatened her it was also very sad. I thought she was at the party to have fun and she might finally have a boyfriend. I felt the same way she did, so when I found out that she was being babysat I was devastated. How could someone do this? It was horrible. Then when Troy threatened her with a gun was super scary. No one should feel the fear that went through her mind. He also hurt her. That was a part in the book that as a reader it was hard to read.
After all of this happens she still has the courage to go and apologize to people WHO SHE DIDN”T EVEN KILL. She went to houses of people who looked at her like dirt some didn't even want her in their house. But I was so shocked at Chrisy Burters parents because they were he most forgiving and nice to her. Their daughter was practically the cause for the whole thing.
Hey Sophia :] Great job! I think it was a really good post and the way you stepped into the character's shoes was helpful to making the response that much better. I would probably feel the same way if I read this. Good jobbbb :)
ReplyDeleteSophia, I think you did a really good job with this post! I liked how you explained all the reasons why you think Valerie is a strong person because she faced her fears. But I think next time you should dig deeper in a post and maybe talk about WHY she did all that stuff? Or is it just because she is the type of person who knows how to stick up for themselves? But good job!
ReplyDeleteYeah sometimes i have trouble "digging deeper" as you said. Because simply i really just enjoy reading the book and most of the time i look past things that could be key eliments to the story and to who the character is. Next time i write about a character i will try to think about everything and anything the chaacter did to improve my post.
DeleteThanks for the suggestion!!
Amazing work on your post. ^.^ It was so good. I liked how you described how Valerie was strong about what happened. You made her seem as brave as you want us to think.
