From the excerpt read during the last class, I agree that violence is always wrong. Although Andrea had to face several hardships throughout life, I do not think that revenge is a reasonable solution. I think it is important to expose your anger and frustration instead of bottling it up inside; however, Andrea should have chose a more peaceful means of doing so. Having someone to talk to is a great means of escape for the angry and upset. Andrea has lived a very dark life, but it is never too late to turn it around. She should have avoided revenge and focused on making her life better for herself. By taking revenge, she defines herself as a victim. Enough is enough. If Andrea wanted a better life, she could have made better choices. She still has the freedom of will and can be free of rape. Even though Andrea will never forget the times when she was raped, she should have tried her best to not let it govern most of her actions in the future.

I agree with most of what you're saying but it's hard to speak when you aren't in her position. Andrea doesn't really have anybody to talk to. When was the last time we read about her actually having a friend? It probably hard to not let rape govern your life when it's happening so constantly. Maybe we should cut her some slack.
