Post A

*Vocab*
1. frumpy (frump): a girl or woman known as dull, plain, or unfashionable (23)
2. puttered (putter): to busy or occupy oneself in a leisurely, casual, or ineffective manner (25)

*Appeals*
1. "This is what I remember" (5). This is an emotional appeal because it makes me want to know what does she remember? What happened to her?

2. "You're the worst bitch I've ever done this to" (8). This is an emotional appeal because this is what the raper believed. And after he said that to her, the sentence comes back to her and seems to repeat over and over again in her head.

3. "I was just raped and beaten in the park" (16). I think this statement could go either way depending on how you see it. But I would for sure call it a logical appeal because of how it all happened in the park and him grabbing her and everything.

*Quote*
"Get back on the ground," he said, "and do what I say." This quote is important because it showed how powerless Alice was during the attack. Yeah, she tried to scream and shout, and kick her way out. But, she just wasn't physically strong enough to do it.

*Theme*
So far the theme of the book is recovery. Alice got raped, and now it is up to her to recover in what ever way she desires to leave this terrible event behind. And having it become something of her past in order to not let it haunt her future.
