Week 2 Journal Writer

Dear Journal, I cannot express my self any other way then to paper. I feel like I have changed for so many people but they all act the same if not worse. My dad is always drunk and I am always being picked on. I dont understand after changing and thinking i am someone else everyone has still been mean if not worse. I am being abused mentally and physically. I dont want to turn out to be like my dad who should i call out too? My sisters?

if i am missing or dead week 3

she felt pain threwout the book and went threw alot of hard times. growing up she pretty much had it in her head that men can do anything they wanted too because thats how her father acted. she was taken advantage of and i dont think she knows how to react about it.. during the book it seems as shes having an identity problem. she grows up wanting boys to notice her as if they were the only attention she got but she didnt always get attention in a good way.. she wanted to go hang out at night but people and would ask her father when he was drunk so he would say yes. i think she pretty much just needed to know her sister and others do care about her and she doesnt need to act the way she was acting threw out the book

if i am missing or dead week 2

this girls going threw a hard life, i think shes just trying to find out who she is.?? growing up people find themselfs and know what they like and what they dont like. her father is a jerk to her, and i can relate because i dont get along with my parents either. another connection is when i was younger i didnt like telling people my feelings like if i was mad or not so i use to wright in journal also. she gets beat by boyfriends and clearly doesnt know when to turn away and say enough is enough i know somebody that is like that also but shes a grown female.

If i am missing or dead week one

"the reason i revealed the gruesomeness of this experience was to depict how far we will go to be attractive to a man to the point of having out bodies cut open " It doesnt matter if men look nasty to them they still look good and even if their bodys are cut open they would still prolly think they look good.
I think this is a good qoute because some guys that are grusomeness still try to get with woman and maybe if they got rejected enough it would make them end up raping a girl or something. and it fits the book because this is a book about getting raped and other interesting details.

"If i am found missing or dead" This is the title of the book and makes a good point in the story because its about dating guys that arnt good enough and do that kind of stuff as in rap and getting beat too and its like how much more will you take until you could be found missing or dead.

"many will tell me they stay together for the children, she says. i encourage them to get apart for thier children because children mimic us, and if they see you belittled, crying, thrown up against the wall, that will look normal to them." I like this qoute because its true if children are in a house hold of abuse between parents or what not they will think its normal to hit their loved ones when they get older and its not a good thing to keep going.

Idealist/Realist

I tend to be an idealist. I like to dream about a perfect future and think everything is going to be okay. I'd rather not face reality cause sometimes it can be harsh and misserable. We all like to live in our own little world sometimes and not face reality. Im always positive. Being classified as a realist isnt a bad thing either, just different point of views. They dont sugar coat anything, just except life as it is. For example: We live in holley, its snowy and cold outside. Wouldnt we all love to picture being in a nice warm sunny climate? :) To me, being an idealist is more fun.

Quote

I agree with the quote because having free will, you can either take it for granite or not. Having free will is choices that you make to actually cause it to be good or bad. If you make bad choices in your life they will come back to taughnt you in later life. You make your own curses to free will.

Is it half full or half empty: Realist/Idealist

A few years back I was sitting in my kitchen talking to my mom about realists and idealists. Up to this point for whatever reason i had not heard of the expression of the glass being half empty or half full. So my mom grabbed a glass out of the cupboard and asked me what do you see. Now not knowing i said "A glass of water" my mom replied "and its...?" I then came back questionably with "half empty" she told me about how my grandma was always the positive one that viewed the glass at half full. Most of the time i like to view myself as positive wouldn't everybody? But at that moment I realized that i was a little bit of a realist. This kind of thing made me a little sad i always believed that I was sort of an idealist but i thought about and I do have some idealist qualities like always being thankful for what i have but also being a bit of a complainer.
