You know, badassery and whatnot.haunt me (x 3) 02:45. Perhaps you're just not the type of dude who gets bullied. He says the group started in 2011 as an excuse to travel to places and do stuff, and broke up in 2012.Caris: Maybe it was just your personality. I discovered Teen Suicide through a punk blog and got hooked on the group’s ragged, shambolic emo-leaning punk before I realized Ray was in the band. Haunting sweet sounds of music boxes and carnival rides begin to play.From then on, I came across Ray’s music even when I wasn’t looking for it.
It seems that the bar is just set lower for teen fiction. Of course, all books do this. Both the website and Santana were only there to keep the girl from killing herself. The book was unbelievable. 12.benzo 13.haunt me (x 3) 14.everything is going to hell 15.falling in love 16.salvia plath.I certainly cave on this point.
In conclusion, Jay Asher can suck it.But tell me, go ahead and try, that you didn't love the fact that Daelyn was going to kill herself (and successfully this time) by putting a cinder block on her face in the bathtub.Karen: pff - i wasn't always this badass, and i never saw anyone else getting bullied, and i was one of those people who had a number of different social circles - student council and marching band and everything in between, so i sort of spanned the whole school (like greg's mom!!!) and i didn't really hear much of it. Peters' character, at least, suffered a life that, as you say, seems unusually harsh. I didn't like that Asher led the reader to believe that its reasonable to think one could kill oneself for the reasons Hannah did. At least Daelyn's shit was painful enough to warrant her choice. Hannah killed herself for everyday shit. The playing field is not level.
Teen Suicide Band Haunt Me How To Treat People
That rachel girl's review of that book is amazing. I wanted to know what the narrator had done to get into the tapes, and i was hoping she would eventually have a good reason for doing what she did. (although i don't think i am THAT much older) maybe it's the heat? when i took a class called "violence, compassion, and justice" in undergrad, they taught us that more violent crimes take place in the south than the north, and more in the summer than the winter in the north.I wasn't in love with the asher book, either, but at least i was interested, as a reader, in where it was going. I'm older than you, right? maybe it is a generation thing. Roger williams taught us well and all that. (okay, maybe i was a little badass)So i am thinking that in rhode island, we just know how to treat people.
Ugh.And as far as the sexual assault goes - i mean - it wasn't anything they are ever going to make a law and order episode about. "i am really determined to kill myself, but the website told me to wait". Do it, kill yourself and get it over with, don't wait for A FRIGGING WEBSITE to give you permission.
Upsetting, but unchallenging.True - a thumbs up for the cinder block. Maybe this is like the baby version of john grisham or something. Boob-grabbing and panty-pulling-down is not that bad on the spectrum of sexual assault.And that is what pisses me off - because there is good teen fiction out there. I mean - yes - it was totally out of line and had it happened to me, there would have been consequences, but in order to impress a reader with the magnitude of an assault, i think she could have gone stronger.
Which is why i rarely cry at movies. But it's personal, isn't it? It's awful because it happened to her, not because it's worse than something that happened to someone else.I have real trouble experiencing emotional connections with characters in books and movies. On a large enough spectrum, there's always something worse. When I think of the specifics, I feel ill. But they did shove her into a secluded area, fondle her, drag her out from underneath a bathroom stall (where she hits her head in the process), and attempt to pull her underwear off. An attack like that is more about power and domination.
With that variety of literature-induced sociopathy, I would have been completely lost in both books. Or plausibility.I don't lack affect in real life, just in books n' stuff.Caris: FYI- it would have been relevant to this conversation to mention that your last name was Bateman.Oh man, your experience must've been even worse than mine. I can only think of it in terms of effectiveness to the reader. So if i knew someone this had happened to, or if i heard a news story, it would be one thing, but as far as it happening to a character.
Even just reading the copy, you know that she will be redeemed through santana and given a reason to blah blah blah. Those questions, which originally were based on the characters' emotional states, now are based on plot:Did you think, at any point, that Daelyn was going to kill herself? Or that Clay was guilty of anything?Karen: sorry, sorry - fever makes me overlook tiny questions.No - i never thought she would actually kill herself. Perhaps it's just because my expectations have gotten so low, but I'm glad I can stick with the emotional manipulation.Going back to the questions I posed to you that you didn't answer (they wasn't rhetorical), I'd like you to answer them. When you read, then, you always require a solid, effective plot. I've never tried to distance myself from the story, as to do so would make me have to actually pay attention to that drivel. No wonder you've exhibited no sympathy whatsoever for these poor dead/dying kids.That poses a unique sort of problem, though, doesn't it? I've found that every single one of the books I've read for class has relied on that emotional connection to draw the reader in.
So now I just start reading them without having any idea what they might be about. I started that at the beginning and didn't want to read any of my assigned books. Otherwise, it is pure cruelty on her part to make him wait for his turn on all the tapes for nothing.Caris: Seems like fever might be something you should stay home from work for?I made a point to not read the flaps. Something, anything, no matter how innocently it was done. I was hoping he had done something that was small but led to something big and he wasn't even aware of it.
Clay could have done something accidentally, especially since he believed the rumors about her promiscuity and they intimidated him. That is a stupid reason to kill yourself. Whatsherface slapped her because she thought hannah had slept with her boyfriend. I had 13 Reasons Why in mind and thought to myself that if that moron could do it, this moron's got to be able to.Karen: sure, but plenty of people on her list hadn't done anything wrong. Daelyn, though I felt strongly that she would survive, had a chance.
I barely remember today because there were so many books all i did was blur through the mall. And if i had skipped today, it would have been a nightmare. She was a loose cannon, who could predict her responses?I have to come to work, because today is a school day.
Here we have books that capitalize on shock (suicide) and don't really allow the reader to connect with the characters on multiple levels. When I compare it to something I really liked, such as Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, it almost seems pointless because there is no real comparison. She was more of a poltergeist.The thought that keeps coming back to me is how insulting these books are to their intended audience. I had a hard time seeing Hannah as a character, as she manifested herself in those cassette tapes. Hannah was a bit off, which is more interesting than Daelyn's victim complex.
An uber cool real life, but real life nonetheless. But I only remember them because they sucked.In Nick and Norah (which I consider to be the best piece of teen fiction I've ever read), the reader is exposed to real life. That's a big problem, I think, as these books rely on voice and character development to be memorable.
