Discuss the problems that the main character faces within your book. What do those problems look like? Is it an external problem, internal problem, or both? What causes the problem? How is the problem being solved...or is it not? Are other characters apart of the problem? Is this problem getting worse or better as you read?
Please explain yourself as if I have not read the book in no less than EIGHT sentences.

ReplyDeleteA problem that is currently happening in Tradition is teachers and students having a problem with Jules grabbing a tampon out of her school bag and placing it on the desk. To me, this sounds like an internal problem. This is an internal problem because Jules has also been having a problem with the boys at her school. The boys at her school see girls as objects and think that they are there for the soul purpose of their own pleasure. Jules is desperately trying to solve the problem by putting matters into her own hands. Her and James are trying to normalize tampons by putting a tampon on their desk each class period for all to see. This so far is not having the effect that Jules desires. Teachers and students are not paying attention to the tampons and no one is talking. So far Jules and James have done nothing else to normalize periods and the body of a female, so I guess you could say the problem is not getting any better but it is also not getting any worse.

Jules seems to have a past with Ethan Hackett and when they first saw each other Jules said it stung. It is an internal problem. Hackett said something about them spending a night with each other, (I don’t remember much but that. I’d have to go back and re-read and read more after). Other characters don’t seem to be part of the problem besides Hackett. So far since the two just met where I’m at, but the problem hasn’t escalated beside Jules walking away.
ReplyDeleteJules also hasn’t met many female friends. This could be a problem for her because she might not be able to relate to or feel safe around especially with her past experience with Ethan.
