Connector Week 4

Text to self: Janine is in seek of true love. Like most people in this world. Yet she feels the only way she will find true love is through sex. I wouldnt really connect that to myself but there are people who feel the same way. People seem to have different views of love. Personally i feel Janine is completly wrong. If somebody only loves you for sex then its not love.
Text to world: Janine struggles with abusive relationships. Lots of women go through domestic violence. Its not okay and there is absolutely no reason for it. Ive watched Maury many times with the episodes of domestic violence. Women think its okay, just like Janine. That the men have understandable reasons to really do it. Men dont! Its not exceptable!
Text to text: The abuse in this book reminds me of the book called "A Child Called It" even though that book delt with child abuse instead of domestic violence. Its still abuse. Both these books really caught my interest. Even though I have never personally been in the situation I have loved ones that have. This book has alot of good lessons.

  1. I agree that women who get in abusive relationships accepts what happen and make excuss to protect their abusier and justified what they did like janine did with kurt. I belive that women in abusive realationships always come back because the fear of being alone and the feeling of wanting to be loved like showed in this book.

  2. I agree that you should not have to have a sexual connection in order to be in a relationship. I also agree she is in a abusive relationship and it is not exceptable. Women do think its okay or blame it on themselve and stick up for the guy. But in some case's its the guy being abused in the relationship and not the girl. Relationships that are abusive are just not exceptable.

  3. I agree to text to world because a lot of people go through abuse. It's not right for men to abuse us girls. They think that they have to right to do anything they want, but they don't. The girls need to do something to stand up for themselves.

  4. I agree, with the text to world and text to text. People are constintly getting abused out there in the world. Tons of women, men and children alike get abused daily. Just like in the book "a child called it" A great book by the way. But the boy gets abused by his mother, janine gets abused by men in her life.

  5. I agree with text to text because she is being abused in the relationship and she has no where to turn. It's just like in the book a child called it because the little boy has no where to turn.

  6. I agree with the first one. I wouldnt connect it to my self for the first part but i would connect it to the second part. Janine thinks love is all about sex but its really about their personalitly.
