In Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda Sordino experiences something that is almost impossible to forget: rape. After sexually assaulted by a senior as an 8th grader, the one thing she needs, someone to talk to, becomes absent in her life when all of her friends leave her. Many other turning points occur during the story that change and affect her identity. The major turning points that affect her identity are being raped in a field at a party, being attacked again in a closet at her school, and everyone finding out the truth about what happened in the end.

This highlights the struggle Melinda is going through to get help from her family in the aftermath of rape, and how she doesn’t believe she can get help. Furthermore, Melinda’s isolation mainly stems from her struggle of telling people about her problems or believing people would help her. In the same meeting, Melinda is thinking “Would you listen?”. Would you believe me? Fat chance” (Anderson, p.114).

A Rape in the Early Republic, edited by Randall L. Hall, is the complete text of the John Deskins Trial which was compiled by Alexander Smyth, a prominent congressman and attorney in the Deskins case. This early in American legal history, rape trials were rare and when they occurred, there was little-to-no documentation of the cases. For example, John Deskins was the only rapist to go to jail in 1806 . This recount is significant to the development of legal history because it addresses gender and sexual misconduct cases in the early republic. During this time, the United States legal system was constantly changing to reflect changes and developments in society, making this case pivotal in legal history. In order to remain true to Smyth’s

On September 27th, 2017, we watched a documentary made by Priyanka Boghani called, Rape on the Night Shift, which was made June 23rd, 2015. This document discusses the issues with a large number of women getting raped while doing their jobs, more specifically janitors, who aren’t protected by the company that they work for in the way that they should be. The documentary also goes over how rape is one of the most common crimes to go unreported, and unprosecuted. These rapes still occur because when a rape is reported, companies are taking very little to no action in making their workplace a safer environment and don’t give each employee the necessary education and tools to allow them to stay safe should they ever be in a rough situation. The investigators interview and reach out to many women who have been raped and sexually abused allowing them to tell their stories, including Maria Bojorquez, Maria Magaña, Erika Morales, Leticia Zuniga, and many more.

“Feminism has not prepared them for this,” states Camille Paglia in her essay “Rape: A Bigger Danger than Feminists Know.” The “them” in Paglia’s statement is referring to women, and she is discussing the topic of date rape. Susan Jacoby, on the other hand, writes in her article “Common Decency,” that feminism is not responsible for the rising cases of date rape, but that it is the men who are at fault. Paglia’s argument is insightful and accurate, but Jacoby’s writing is flawed and not well-researched. Paglia includes all rhetorical appeals and persuasive techniques, while Jacoby lacks in some departments of persuasiveness and fills the gap with logical fallacies. Comparing both of these papers will help the reader see why

Despite all this suffering, Marie-Laure is supported by her great-uncle, Etienne, in which he influences her way of life.

Although the young girl’s alibi [checked out], she had to give her testimony to strengthen her defense. While speaking, Justine “...struggled with her tears...and spoke in an audible although variable voice” (Shelley 89). Justine was innocent, but unable to prove it to those around her, she feared that her life was over. Despite how terrified she was, Justine found the courage to speak from the heart and hoped that the court would see she was human and would never be able to carry out the murder of a child.

The couple’s conversation with each other heighten their conflict by reintroducing the issue numerous times within multiple instances. All Robbie wants is for Marie to stay the night but Marie refuses because her cat has yet to be fed. Marie often introduces and reintroduces backstory with the dialogue of her character.

A Teenage Girl Got Raped by Six men An article about the girl who allegedly got gang-raped by the six men during a Halloween party in a bedsit in Kent had shocked the world especially the victim is family and friends.

We begin with Greta, a blonde with an attitude. She wants all of her peers to admire her. She believes that she is one of the best people at their job. Her fantasy begins in a place where most rape assaults happen, in the victim?s home. Out of reality and back to fantasy she sees a man dressed as a burglar climb onto her balcony on the 18th floor, coming into her apartment and stealing her body. Like most rape cases she did use force of resistance so she allowed him to finish the act of trying to overpower someone. This gives me the assumption that rape to her takes place in a comfortable environment. Were you?re helpless and feel that there is no importance to resisting. The thing that sticks out about rape to her is how the person gets to you. In the story she gave more details about that than the rape its self.

The character of Anne-Marie incorporates many characteristics that make her vulnerable, including that she is not from New York where the story takes place, and that she is in the area alone with another young friend.
