Post A3

*Vocab*
1. crestfallen: discouraged (84)
2. adamant: utterly unyielding in attitude or opinion in spite of all appeals, urgings, etc. (78)

*Appeals*
1. "The world is not divided for me then as it is now" (90). This is an emotional appeal because it is how she feels about safety after she was raped.

2. "But I'd always had a hint that my father could be different away from us and away from my mother" (82). This is an emotional appeal because she wants to know what her dad can be like when hes not around the family.

3. "At moments like this I pretended my father was the big brother I'd never had" (83). This is an emotional appeal because she is having a good time with her father and wants it to stay that way.

*Theme*
I think the theme for this part of the book is hope. She is deciding where to go to school and hope that she picks the right one. When she was with her father looking at schools she hoped that he can act differently around her and she can feel comfortable with him. The other thing is that she hoped to be safe at Syracuse, but ended up in a situation that she hopes can be erased.

*Quote*
"I hate it here" (85). This quote is important because it was when she meets Mary Alice (her good friend) at Syracuse. They both at the time when they first started didn't like the school, but they became good friends and it grew on them a bit. The thing is that she said this before she got raped, now what does she think of going to school here, should she stay or leave?
