I was also wondering what happened between Dana and Julie for them to dislike each other so much. Everything about their past started making sense throughout the middle of the book and I was able to understand Dana and Julie's relationship. ]]> 2017-06-29 01:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697911 2144542 https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697921 I can connect to Julie on page 15 because she states “I hated sitting in front of her. I hate the thought that she was looking at the back of my head. What if I had dandruff or a pimple?” I can relate because I have been insecure or self conscious sometimes.]]> 2017-06-29 01:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697921 2144542 https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697932 I can infer that Dana is insecure about herself and that is why she puts others down. On page 3 Dana says 'If your fat gut didn't stick out farther than your boobs, your shirt wouldn't look so stupid.' This shows me Dana likes to put other people down so she can feel good about herself.]]> 2017-06-29 01:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697932 2144542 https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697938 Pages 36-44 helped me visualize Dana and her friends at the high school party. Zack, Julie's brother explained the night very well and I was able to visualize the whole scene.]]> 2017-06-29 01:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697938 2144542 https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/177697952 This book is about a girl named Julie who has been a victim of bullying by an older girl named Dana. Julie is constantly being put down by Dana's words and finally has had enough of it.

For example, Julie was afraid to walk past Dana and he friends so I could assume Dana was a bully. Another main event was the party Julie's brother went to. This was a huge part of the book because Dana was doing some bad things and when Julie found out about that night she would want to expose Dana. The last main event was Julie going over to Dana's house to apologize and start over with Dana.]]> 2017-07-30 05:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/179697047 2144542 https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/179697145 The authors writing style in Exposure is narrative and descriptive. It is narrative because it is telling the story of Julie's high school years. It is also descriptive because many times the author, Patricia Murdoch, focuses on describing many events throughout the story.]]> 2017-07-30 05:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/179697145 2144542 https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/179697151 I honestly really enjoyed this book. I could relate to Julie a lot and reading this book made me want to change how I interact with people. The book was very realistic about what happens in high school and I think more middle school students should read Exposure to prepare for what is to come in high school.]]> 2017-07-30 05:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/2144542/mngh5fmjnkik/wish/179697151
