The role of women in the theatre.
Although not everybody would agree, I want to argue that women should be aloud to act in theatre. I have several reasons for arguing this point of view.
My first reason is that it will cost less money and effort to buy or make costumes. For the girls could bring their own clothes to wear instead of buying or making them. They also are use to the dresses and clothes so they wouldn’t be tripping over themselves trying to move.
A further reason is they don’t need to be trained to act as a female. They have been a female since birth and their mothers have taught them how to act. They know how to curtsy, talk feminine, and how to walk feminine. They know how to carry themselves and having a female part played by a female gives an even better performance. They’d also give a better performance because they’re very emotional and could get into character a lot easier, and they might be able to relate to the play and get into even better character.
Furthermore having a female play a female part will create a better atmosphere. It’ll be a better atmosphere because with female and male roles there will be better chemistry then a man and a man. If they let women in to act in the theatre they will be able to have romantic moments where the actors kiss, without a female they wouldn’t be able to do that without getting nasty comments from the audience, and a very awkward vibe between the actors.
Therefore though some people might argue that women in the theatre are a bad idea. I think I have shown that there are a lot of good reasons for women to be in the theatre.

Journal # 8 Character
Is anything they did right or wrong?
Yes, what Rogerson did to Caitlin is very wrong. Its very wrong because he hit her and injured her and he believes its okay for him to hit her because she deserves it, when she doesnt. Him hitting Caitlin hurts her in more ways then one, he bruises her body, making her cover up and not be able to continue her cheerleading. He frightens Caitlin, and she gives up all her time for him hoping he won't hit her. He gets her into drugs which makes her give up on everything normal she had in her life. This is why Rogerson hitting Caitlin is very wrong.

Does the mood of the story change? How?
Yes the mood does change throughout the book. It changes because in the beginning Caitlin feels rejected and ignored because her sister leaves on the day of her birthday, and her parents ignore her and just focas on Cass. After a while of being ignored her and Rina join the cheerleading team and she starts getting out more and becoming noticed, and her mother starts getting involoved with her cheerleading too. After a while her mother starts getting too involved and Caitlin becomes annoyed with her. When she meets Rogerson and starts hanging out with him, she starts to feel rebellious, and dangerous. After they start getting serious she starts to fall in love with him. Then when he starts to hit her she becomes scared and afraid but she still loves him. This is how the mood changes throughout the story.

Journal # 6 Mood
How did you feel while reading this book? Why?
After reading this book I felt scared for Caitlin and confused.
I felt scared for Caitlin because as her and Rogersons relationship continued, so did the beatings, and as she described how often they were happening, I was scared that one day he'd go to far and she'd die. I was also scared because she wouldn't tell anyone because she loved him too much and didn't want him to get in serious trouble, and the more it happened the more scared I became because she stopped doing everything good just to try and please him, but it never worked, he always found something to be angry about. When he was finally exposed of beating her, I wasn't scared anymore because I knew Caitlin was safe.
I was confused while reading the book because even though Rogerson beat Caitlin she always made up excuses for him on why he did it, I understand this was because she didn't believe that was the real him , but after he started beating her for no reason, I would've thought she'd give up and stop trying to please him, and maybe start avoiding him. Another thing I don't understand was in the end of the book, after the police came, why did Caitlin want him to stay.
In the end I was happy that Caitlin was free from Rogerson, and was healthy and better. Also that she was back at school with Rina who she had drifted from.
