Meaghan's Excerpt

I have a very close family both geographically and emotionally. I relate a lot more to stories of families who get along then I do about estranged families. For example, I could relate to the stories Bill told about his family in Oddballs. I don’t necessarily have the same type of family but I do have a close relationship with my parents and my younger brother and our family is, like Bills, not always “normal”. I could also relate to the girl in There’s a Girl in my Hammerlock because I wasn’t the most popular person in high school and I remember how cruel other kids can be. I can look back now and think it’s funny but I never thought I could. In the same sense, I have a hard time relating to human rights novels because I haven’t had my “freedom” taken away or been discriminated against in an extreme way, other then being a blonde!
