Summary and Character Analysis

Summary of chapters one through four:

Trixie's life is normal: a group of friends, a hot boyfriend, and a loving father. All of that is turned upside down when her exboyfriend rapes her at her best friends party. At the same time as the rape, her mother is sleeping with one of her students in his dorm. After a while of recouperating, she returns to school where she is stared at and treated like a leper. At the end of chapter four, Trixies father, Daniel, kidnaps Jason and takes him to the forest. After realizing who he was rebecoming, he leaves. As the case of Trixies' rape unfolds, the friendships she thought were hers and the trust that she had gained were all put to the test.

Character analysis:

Trixie: She is your average popular girl, until her world is shaken. The world she has pretended to live in has a breakdown. The core of her being is shaken, making her ask herself who she really was. At a point, she wanted to change who she was. She thouhgt that apperences matter, causing her haircut. Because her entire existance before the rape is a facade, a mind game, she starts breaking down from the change of the life. To my belife, more that is common for a rape victim

Daniel: He is a father who doesn't want his daughter to hurt. He has a secret life that he tries to suppress. You get glimpses to who he was through the cracks in his shield; when he takes Jason to the forest, you clearly see what he used to be. His comics also show who he was. He loves his wife; when she cheats, one of the reasons for leting her stay was Trixie. Trixie needed a mother, and Daniel saw too much resemblence between Trixie and Laura to cast Laura away.

The next post will be connections and charater analysis of Jason and Laura.
