Post A4

*Vocab*
1. commemorates: to serve as a memorial or reminder of (163)
2. sustained: To keep in existence; maintain (190)

*Appeals*
1. "Not further into the park but- on an outside the- we struggled outside the tunnel and then he took me inside the tunnel" (182). This is a logical appeal because this is what happened to her before she got raped.

2. "Yours might be Arabic," I said. "It looks like mine is rape" (161). This is an emotional appeal because her sister is majoring in Arabic and going to Syria, while Alice claims she is majoring in rape because she has a trial to do.

3. "I had become his opponent now, no longer merely his victim" (160). This is an emotional appeal because she now has to fight against him in court and she understands that she has to really fight against him.

*Quote*
"On top was a copy of my testimony from the preliminary hearing" (165). The importance of this quote is that during the trial she is questioned about what happened and her answers are referred back to her preliminary hearing and what she said during that and if her answers are different or the same.

*Theme*
I think the theme of this part of the book is growth. In this part she is able to have sex with Jamie, nervous, but grabbing a hold of herself, she decided she needed to do this to help her get over with what happened. Also, in the trial she speaks slowly and doesn't jump to conclusion like she did in th line-up where she got the guy wrong, she is patient with trying to give a response. Which is difficult because Gregory Madison is in the room now when she talks.
