It Happened to Nancy #2

Now that we've read a large part of the book, tell me what you think about Nancy. Why do you think she keeps going back and forth emotionally? Why does she want to be a kid again? Why does she end the last entry with, "I don't even want, or love, myself"?

  1. I think she keeps on changing emotions is because she really doesn't know what she's doing or feeling. After the rape she really got lost and confused because she thought that Collin loved her, but ended up finding out that he used her. She wants to be a kid again because when she was a kid she didn't have problems, she was probably always happy. She even stated herself that when she was a kid "she didn't even know what the word problem was." When Nancy said "I don't even want, or love, myself" I think she only said that because she felt no one loved her so when Collin came he treated her like he loved her. But when he raped her she felt like no one loved her again, so she feels if no one loves her she shouldn't love herself either.

  2. i think she keeps changing moods or emotions because sometimes she is having a blast and forgetting what happened but when she gets back home she remmembers again. and she cant live a normal life cause she got raped by a 2 face lying son of a gun that used her just to do it with her which is messed up and when nancy said"I dont even love myself" it is because she knows and thinks its her falt for trusting him when he is in college and supposably 18 years old while she is only 14 which is very messed up and i hate him cause he just wanted to use her while she cared about him so much and all she did was think about him and he replaces it by raping her and she felt like no one loved or cared about her no more it was like she was a shadow and the real bad part is that she is going to get hiv/aids because of him and she is not going to live a regular life which is very sad. john

  3. i think she took it to!!!! fast because just the fact that he was in her house by them selves was out of line . And she had only known him for a few days . She also had to analyze that why would a 18 year old be spending time or even waisting his time on a 14 year old . she had to think a little more and if your not able to talk about that person to one of your friends then you already know that what your doing is not right .

  4. Nancy is now at the point where her curiousity leads her to a big mistake. Though I don't blame her for emotionally going back and forth. She is just so surprised to get raped. I can also see why why she wants to be a kid again. When a kid, not only do you have less reponsibilities, but your less likely to get in situations like this. Finally, the reason she wrote "I do not even want, or love myself": She just feels so stupid about falling for a rapiest(Collin)

  5. Nancy is now thinking about her mistakes & the risks she took . Things she could have taken back or could have avoided . She wants to be a kid again because she knows she did something wrong & she wishes that she can go back to when this did not happen , when her life was perfectly fine . I think she ended that entry with "I don't even want, or love, myself" because she feels that it is her fault . That she did something to cause this . In my opinion she did but she still did not deserve that . She did do wrong by letting him into her house , she did not have to be date raped because of that . She did not deserve to be date raped .

  6. Nancy is going back and thinking about everything she has done and thinking about her mistakes. She wishes that anything she did she can take back but she can't. she wants to be a normal kid again because she doesn't feel the same way she did before anything had happened. She knows she made a mistake and now has to live with it for the rest of her life.

    I think she want to be a kid again to do things right and never get chance to meet that guy.
    I think she ended like that because she feels that she is not the same
