My emotions in the text

While reading this section of the text, it took me back to high school. Towards the end of the text Hannah was at a party with Courtney and she said that Hannah had some interesting toys in her dresser at home. A boy over heard that and thought that Hannah would be easy. Back in high school everybody believed what they heard about me, just like the boy did with Hannah. Hannah fought back, but I didn't. I fell back in to the background of school and just tried not to have too much attention put on me. I felt like I could relate to Hannah in that part of the text. It is very hard in high school, but it is even harder if people just start believing what they hear about you and don't take the time to get to know you. My emotions while reading this was sadness and sympathy. I feel bad for anyone who has to go through high school like that.

  1. Rumors are heard to live with, i know from personal experience just like you. But not fitting it is a bad decision, just like you said. I think Hannah couldve been up front with it and not gone along with it like she did for so long. She shouldnt of been friends with the people that were only going to hurt her.

  2. Good work with personal connection, Cassidy. High school *can* be cruel.
