Assignment #4

TASK 1

a) The setting of the second part is important because she is home alone, and Arnold knew exactly where her family at her aunts party and how he knew where she lived.

b)Connies character is very annoying and frusterating because she does this to herself, like puts herself in these akward situations. She is asking for trouble for doing all the stuff she does in the first place. She represents teenagers who think they know everything when they actually don't. Reminds me of the movie Thirteen.

c) The author talks about the conflicts with rebellious teenagers. The author shows how easy it is to get yourself in such a dangerous situation and unitentionally tells you how you can prevent it by not acting like a slut.

d) it appeals to people because its suspenceful and keeps the reader want to find out what happens

e)Personally i think the guy ends up kidnapping her and she never sees her family or house again.

f) Previously in Arnolds life he had probably expeirenced tramatic events that had made him the way he is right now: a creep.

I agree with what you say about the rebelliousness of teenagers. I don't think that connie realizes that she is going to be put into these types of situations

I think that you are right when you talk about the teenagers being rebellious. It is definately something that i talked about as well. Im sure that at the end, connie regrets wanting that kind of male attention in the first place.
