Connections to Life #1
"Burned" and Identical" relate to my life because I've heard a lot of stories on the news and in the paper about people who go through things like sexual abuse and teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy is more relivant to me then sexual abuse, I hear more about stories about teenagers in high school getting pregnant then I hear stories about sexual abuse. I think this is probably relivent because most kids who suffer abuse are probably more scared to talk about there abuse, while girls who become pregant who decide to keep their baby is something a little harder to hide. Also television shows I have seen or watch like "16 and Pregnant" or "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" I tend to witness more about girls who go through teen pregnancy like Pattyn in "Burned" then I witness or watch shows about sexual abuse like Kaeleigh in "Identical" has to suffer through.

I like the connections you made to your life. I read the books "Burned" and "Identical" too and I love them. I've read your other blogposts and they're really good. Keep up the good work Corinne!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a nice job summarizing this book. Enough so that I know I can't read it. When I pleasure read, I don't like to read about abuse because it causes me stress. Nicely done Corinne, Christine P
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for the comments, I really appreciate the feedback!
ReplyDeleteI can see Christine's point-- after I read both "Tricks" and "Identical" I needed a break and read some chick-book that had a happy ending!!
