No God's gonna come to to this garden
Tate is disgusting. What makes their age gap (senior and freshmen) unforgivable are the times he talks about her pureness and said, "now she really sounds like little girl."(and smiled! Ew.)
I couldnt help but wonder what the book would be like from a black person' perspective, and at first I was like, no way they' d go after a white women, even if she was poor, before a black man. Kaya saying that she would receive the same scrutiny as the black girls is laughable. It didn't go into race because it' not to kill a Mockingbird but wishes it could be.
Where are the other white trash people in the story? Maybe I'm just slow. Anyway, a more compelling look would be
Kaya getting imprisoned despite being victimized because that's the sad reality. The book mentioned all the ways the odds are stacked against her, but she beats them.
There is no mystery to the story, so, what's the message? I also couldn't think of a deserving theme. Perseverance, but it's not deserving of it due to it being unrealistic.
