Praise on Alexandra's post: Unjustice in "The Tenth Circle"


   In Alexandra's post about "The Tenth Circle" I loved how each point that Alex made was broken down.When explaining the emotional reactions of the characters on the topic; rape, she showed the top layer and what was deep within each of the characters emotions.  One example of this is is when she talks about how her dad felt when he found out. "Those actions show how riled-up Daniel can get, and how he still has his former self buried deep within him". The phrasing and meaning if the phrase is very strong. It attacks another flaw or problem in the main characters life that the unjust brought back towards her family.
    In some of her points she rebuttled her main opinion on rape and experienced different reasons to how this could happen to the main character. One example of this bus when she talks about the party where the main character was supposively raped. Alex says "Yes, Trixie did not tell Jason to rape her, and yes, he didn't listen when she said stop. But still, I can't help but wonder if through the drugs and alcohol made her memories became clouded, and she might have invited Jason to do more than she remembered". Although it was against her main opinion she still acknowledged that there could be a possibility she was incorrect about her rape. 
   Alex's posts in general are very enjoyable to read. She uses a toolbox of writing utensils to build up a strong opinion with evidence. This post was just one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!!!

  1. I like how you included an actual line from Alex's blog post. It really showed me why you enjoyed her writing so much. I also like how you didn't just retell her post. You actually explained the tools that she used and explained why and how they worked so well. Overall, great job!
