It is the culmination of her being a policewoman and a girlfriend. it really shows that the two things aren't separate, and that even the best police officer can't separate their personal and professional lives. We especially see this with Jenny throughout the book, because her personal and professional life are so intertwined.]]> 2017-04-10 12:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165646972 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647031 This quote shows the difference in the way that Ellie thinks in her personal and professional life. It strengthens the idea that Ellie is able to put away her police responsibilities and react and think as a human being. ]]> 2017-04-10 12:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647031 jcorrigan4 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647037 Is Ellie losing her inner fortitude? This line makes me wonder about that. She has spent so much of the book trying to prove herself, trying to go above and beyond. Is she now realizing the limitations of being only a "bike cop"? And, if so, is she limiting herself or is the CJS and her role in it holding her back? ]]> 2017-04-10 12:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647037 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647043 This quote might help to explain why there was so much animosity towards the cops at the beginning of the book, Especially from Rickie and Benjamin.]]> 2017-04-10 12:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647043 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647090 This is just after she finds out about Benjamin and Jenny. Earlier in the story I had suspicions so to see them play out in the way I anticipated was nice.]]> 2017-04-10 12:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647090 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647140 This quote shows how Ellie is still unable to separate her personal life with her job and that she is still not over Benjamin. ]]> 2017-04-10 12:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647140 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647185 Ellie is fighting with pretty much everyone now; Aunt Cheryl, Benjamin, and herself. She starts to lose trust for a lot of people and even questions if she should continue the Jenny Nguyen case. We see a lot of work vs personal life here.]]> 2017-04-10 12:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647185 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647214 This quote is not only a depiction of how gruesome the media can be, but also Ellie's relationship to the case. It is an insensitive aspect due to the fact that the "girl soaked in blood" is still a human being, and she does in fact have a family that cares about her, and she is not a monster. ]]> 2017-04-10 12:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647214 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647319 Ellie has been careful and self conscious around people to hide her relationship with her aunt. Ellie probably thought she had control over her life, but she could not control herself this time.  ]]> 2017-04-10 12:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647319 https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647763 I think that a lot of people in relationships, even those who haven’t been cheated on, can resonate with Ellie’s feelings. It’s her natural human response that can’t be overcome. But with that being said, it is pretty messed up and unacceptable of a cop working on a case, to be thinking that way.]]> 2017-04-10 12:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jcorrigan4/l32mnzucudb1/wish/165647763
