Author's Note: In
the upcoming paragraph you will read is how a 13 year old girl, Connie, changes
from a pacific situation.
Connie is a 13 year
old girl that is always compared to her sister June, especially about her
mother. Connie's feelings change through out the story. A warm afternoon
Connie's family went to a cook out and she stayed home alone. She heard a car
coming down her long gravel driveway and it was a boy who looked about 18 years
old. She felt concerned. Connie thought she had control over this whole
situation. After all, she was the kind of girl who flirted with boys. Combed
her hair and had to look all pretty for going out. She was the bad girl of the
family unlike her goody two shoes sister, June.
As the conversation
kept going from this boy, Arnold Friend, the 18 year old boy, and Connie, she
realizes she is losing control and she becomes scared each and every minute.
Connie seems to think she can make this guy leave her property, but she was wrong.
He kept talking about her being his love and he wanted her to get into the car
with him and his creepy friend, Ellie.
As the time goes by
she realizes he Is not leaving and towards the end she loses complete control
and gives in to Arnold Friend. Her feelings went from normal, happy, and self-
centered to scared, helpless, and afraid.
Towards the end her
feelings can relate to David's feelings from "A child called it" by
David Pelzer. He was abused by his psychotic mother and he was sad and helpless
practically his whole childhood. When I read the story about Connie, it had reminded
me about David and his horrible childhood.
