Answer Questions

-report: During the Discussion we talked about how we would feel if we were in Pattyn's situation. We talked about how it would be extremely hard to live life as a Mormon girl who is going through normal teenage situations. Her father hit her and she is in a rebellious stage. She is also experiencing dreams that are not acceptable to talk about with her parents. In part of the book she was experiencing negative thoughts about suicide. We were putting ourselves in her situation and how we would deal with her problems

-discussion questions:


 * 1) Pattyn throughout the book wants that feeling of love. Is it really hard to find that feeling or do we just want it from a certain person?
 * we think that she wants the love from a certain person because you can really find love from anyone. It will be better for her to find someone to love her because she doesnt get love from her family.
 * 1) Pattyn questions her faith. Would you ever stop believing in something that you were raised up to believe in?
 * We all decided that questioning our faith would be something to test our faith.
 * 1) Do you think Pattyn is really in love or just obsessed with the idea of being loved? And do you think it is possible for someone to fall in love with barely even knowing a person?
 * she doesnt know what being in love is like so she is going to take advantage of this feeling. We decided the this could go either way. Some of us say that there is a possiblilty that you can fall in love with someone without really knowing a person because of lack of past experiences with the topic. Others say that this is false.
 * 1) Pattyn learns about some hidden past between her family. Would you rather be kept in the dark and think everything is safe or be told the truth and know reality isn’t always pretty?
 * We decided that we would rather know the truth because then you can save yourself and look out for what you find to be true or untrue.

-report: During the Discussion we talked about how Pattyn yearns for love. We also talked about her family life and how no body in her family seems to care for her or love her. Because of this it seems like the first person that comes into her life that actually cares for her she seems to love them. We seem to realize that she's starting to question her faith. She doesn't know if she actually believes in being Mormon anymore. We also put ourselves in her situation and discussed if it's possible to fall in love with someone who be barley know. We said yes because we might not know what love really is.
