There was a very hyper reviewer on yesterday's entry which led me to finding this entry.

Starchy isn't an English last name though. If the author had done research into common English last names, she would have found plenty of them. This is like turning around and telling somebody that your actual last name is Guise- as in the old ducal titles- Henri de Lorraine, duc de Guise for example? A lot of people writing for one of the French literature fandoms I am in don't do their research into French nobility and seem to think that Guise or Condé are actual last names- which they are not.

Well anyway, I am far from topic so let me bring it back round.

This one here seems to be angst over everything. I mean, her problems with her parents, with the big bad bully at school, and the fact that she wants to move away when her parents don't want to. In all honesty, the neglect her mother and father give her is similar to Harry in a way.

However, that isn't all that I found. This character is only friends with Grace because she is rich. I mean, has anybody gotten to the end of chapter one and read it through? She pretty much gloats about the fact that her friend is made out of money, but at the same time angsts over the fact that she isn't as rich as her friend at all.

I also find that I am rather confused with this story. It jumps to one thing to another without pause... it gave me a bit of a headache.

I did read to the end of the chapter. The Sue whines about how the people around her are so bad but the only reason she hung out with Grace was because she was rich and popular and then Grace decided to no longer be friends because our Sue decided to act like a spoiled brat and demand that she get her way. And yeah... her parents have problems but to me their situation is a bit different from the Dursley situation as they're having to deal with a girl who goes around beating up people when they make her mad. They're exasperated and take their frustration out on her and it goes over her head that the reason they keep reacting negativly is because of her poor behavior.

I personally think the Sue is the big bad bully at school. I've come across cases where the bully thinks they're the one being bullied because nobody wants to be their friends. Best case scenario someone decides to be their friend and intervenes. However, this works best with younger kids. The older they get the less likely it will work as bad habits are hard to break. In the long run they never come to understand that people don't want to be their friends because they are as cruel as they are.
