This excerpt is about how people are born innocent and tend to act the way they do when older because of what they've experienced whether it were observing or having it done to them. The excerpt also talks about how kids who are abused aren't always going to have the tendency to abuse others in the future. These connects to Allegedly because Mary had an abusive childhood and her child hood may have affect on how she acts now like what she did to Kelly and Tara for example. Another way this connects to

In the excerpt its talking about how nothing is born evil but at the same time we could become evil because of our environment and the people we are surrounded by. This connects to "Allegedly" because of how Marry was raised she could have easily became just like her mother but she only got some traits from her instead for example being overboard because of that one time Marry threw boiling water on another girl.

In the excerpt shown,it seems like a story where someone’s voice is being heard because they feel powerless due to what happen in there past life.They also mention,”A baby cannot hate the mother without the mother first hating the baby.”I think this can connect to “Allegedly” in many ways.First,this connects to Mary somewhat because they speak on how someone feels powerless,and due to the current situation Mary is in I think it took her awhile to really confess the truth and get the justice she deserved because she felt powerless.Secondly,also all the stuff her mom put in her head about what could happen was a lie which also made Mary in a way,“hate her mother”.

In the excerpt, the author mentions how there is a chance that someone will become an abuser if abused. They explain that children absorb the actions of the people that they grew up around. Unlike her mother, Mary turned out to be very protective and willing to do a lot for her unborn child. Mary's mother seems to only care about Mary when it's helpful to her. For example, from what the book seems to be saying is that she used Mary to protect the idea of her being a bad person from getting out. However, Mary picked up the trait of trying to look good for other people. She also takes interest in toxic people

In this excerpt, it's almost like someone powerless is being affected by their past and this connects to Mary in many ways. Due to the murder of baby Alyssa, Mary can't do a lot of things. In the excerpt it talks about powerless and Mary was powerless this whole time because she was scared to tell what really happened the night Alyssa was killed.

The excerpt that is displayed had made several connections to allegedly. In the paragraph where they are talking about a child first coming out innocent and being tainted by abuse we can connect that to Mary because her innocence was ruined as a child due to her being sexually abuse. Another part of the paragraph we could link to Mary is the part that talks about vengeful fantasies she hates her step father and this rage manifested from the abuse that he has brought upon her. Now she wants nothing to do with him and this could contribute to her personality being off sometimes. She is quick to react and at times she talks to herself and seems anxcious and wants to feel like somebody could love her. This personality could  have been the result of abuse.

This connects to children are born innocent that kids are sweet and innocent until something happens to them that makes them view life a totally diffenet type of way . If a kid is abuse its make likely to abuse another kid in the future and the cycle make or may not continue depending on the situtaion this connects to allegedy  because mary mom did some  things and as you can see mary took on some traits

In this reading "The silent patient" it say that we are not born evil but yes you can become evil. It also states that it is impossible for a person that was never abused to become an abuser. This connects to "Allegedly" because Mary was brought up seeing her mother being abused, she got abused here in there, and even without violence there was still some type of abuse. However that did not enforce Mary to become abusive. In all reality Mary is not an abusive person unless she has to be.  Also even though Mary mother was a half (blink) mother she still wants to love her child and give her a life that she coudlnt had.

in the excerpt "the silent patient" it explains that the environment in which someone is brought in causes them to inherit said  behavior stating "a baby cannot hate the mother without the mother first hating the baby"  this ties into marys mom and how abusive you as to her at an early age with mary herself picking that up to when she burned the girl at the group home with oil

This excerpt connects with the idea that children are born innocent. Only the treatment of a child's guardian directs their mindset. This interapation of good vs evil connects to "Allegedly" by highlighting the cause and effects of parental abuse, and tramatizing chilodhoods on an indivigual. Mary's mother stopped taking her perscribed medications and is an alcoholic. These two charastics alone provides some mental conditions that can

So this talk about how if your born in a environment full of abusive people, your more likely to be abusive as well. To where if your not born a abusive environment the chances or low. To where in the book, Mary was born in that abusive area but had a somewhat different effect meaning there it say " A baby cannot hate a mother, without the mother hatting the baby fist". To point out that Mary was abuse by Mama but at the same time Mama was the only person Mary care for before she had the baby, to where despite everyone abandoning her she didn't went to abandon her very own baby just because that what everyone think is best for her, as if her life was not her own.

Sometimes it's hard to grasp why the answers to the present lie in the past. A simple analogy might be helpful: a leading psychiatrist in the field of sexual abuse once told me that she had, in thirty years of extensive work with pedophiles, never met one who hadn't himself been abused as a child. This doesn't mean that all abused children go on to be abusers, but it is impossible for someone who was not abused to become an abuser. No one is born evil. As Wincott put it, "A baby cannot hate the mother without the mother first hating the baby." As babies, we are innocent sponges, blank slates, with only the most basic needs present: to eat, shit, love, and be loved.But something goes wrong, depending on the circumstances into which we are born, and the house in which we grow up. A tormented, abused child can never take revenge in reality, as she is powerless and defenseless, but she can - and must - harbor vengeful fantasies in her imagination. Rage, like fear, is reactive."
