Dawn and the Olda Boy! Part 2!

Feb 07, 2015 22:03

Hey, gals! Y'all ready for more rage? I certainly hope so because oh, my! I'm like, in shock at how very, very terrible this book is. It should be on school must read lists on how not to handle a relationship. How not to handle strangers. How not to parent. How not to be a total ho bag of fail. I had to stop and face palm so much. But I think I'm ( Read more... )

And again, the BSC is a bunch of enablers by pushing Dawn to go talk to him.--I know Dawn is too in "luv" to really think beyond how creepy it is that this guy is tailing her ( ... )

People who order your food for you make me furious. People have things they don't like to eat. People have ALLERGIES. I am a very picky eater, and there's A LOT of food that makes me gag. If Dawn really cared about her diet, she would have told Travis that she'll order her own food. It's not cute. It's controlling.

I'm also curious on what she would have done had he ordered a burger. I know in the summer camp book, she ate a hot dog because there was nothing else. So, I also think she would have eaten it and not complain. And I HATE that a girl standing up for herself is seen as being a bitch. Really great lessons there, Ann!

i was trying to figure out why travis' girlfriend would be okay with him paying this kinda creepy attention to dawn. &my mind went to a dark place, thinking they have some kind of paul bernardo-karla homolka dynamic going on. RUN DAWN! &now i feel icky just thinking about paul&karla. *pukes FOREVER* another reason why ann's complete lack of judgement in this book in regards to dawn taking off with a strange dude is a horrible horrible&dangerous message.

true facts, my older sister read out articles from the newspaper about paul&karla to me around the same year we started reading these books. that was some chilling shit for a little kid to read or hear. that shit was going down around the same time some of these books were written.

i think i need to scroll back up to that adorable kitty gif now. sooo cuuuute.

dawn is SUCH a bitch, blaming mary anne. bitch, take some responsibility for yourself&your actions. god DAMN.

i love this snark! giggles all around.

Scary how much I can see Paul and Karla fitting in this world.

heymalice February 9 2015, 12:48:08 UTC

ew ew ew. so creepy.
but then, ANYTHING to do with those two just scares the daylights out of me!
you are right though. *shudders*

road_baby February 9 2015, 23:36:56 UTC

Ooohhhh. I forgot about those two. I remember seeing a thing about them on Autopsy, I believe. This does read like a kiddie version of that case. In a perfect world, Travis's girlfriend would have been like 'What the Hell is wrong with you?1 We're over!'

Hey now, Mary Anne is just as sensitive as Dawn is an individual.

heymalice February 9 2015, 12:49:00 UTC

ROFL nice!

I know this was the early 90s but Jesus Jones! There was still crime!

MORE of a crime then since that was before Romeo & Juliet laws. Today you may have a state where the age of consent is, say, 16 (like in Washington, BUT this doesn't mean a 30-year-old can have sex with a 16-year-old--there is an age limit, which in Washington, is limited to a strict 60-month age difference), so that you don't end up with a situation where a couple high schoolers are dating, and the older one turns 18, and the relationship is illegal. Back then, that happened. A lot. I went to high school in the 90's, and a guy friend of mine was busted BIG time because he and his under-18 girlfriend were still dating after his 18th birthday. Unlike a lot of other laws, this one was a LOT STRICTER back then.

16 and 13 wouldn't have been allowed. It was generally a 24-month age difference for kids under 18, meaning that Stacey, at 13, and Sam, at 15, COULD have been illegal if he turned 15 before she turned 13, which I think is how it happened.

I'm ( ... )

I'm pretty sure Stacey was 12 when she first got interested in Sam. And I think he was 15. Which I can see a girl getting a crush, but acting on it? Nasty. I'm not sure what book they started going out though. Or if she was 13 at the time.

Richard is like the odd man out of the series. And of course, Ann paints him as a super strict jerk who doesn't know what he's doing. It's like she wanted her readers to think he's a big ol' meanie when he's really the only one to make any sensible decisions. It's makes sense that Ann does ONE thing right and it's totally by mistake.

As a kid, I only saw the braids rule as unreasonable. As a parent, still think the same, but really would respect him as a real-world parent.

It's like so many other books where the people we aren't supposed to like are usually the sensible ones, like the Volturi in Twilight. How dare they have just enough laws to prevent other vampires from going hog wild and killing all the humans in a super massive slaughter spree?
