The time is unknown.]]> 2017-10-12 14:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/196433219 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197375941 2017-10-16 14:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197375941 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197376306 The protagonist in Cut is an antisocial teenage girl named Callie, who is in Sick Minds because of her tendencies to cut herself to relieve anxiety. She is the protagonist because throughout the story, we see her point of view.]]> 2017-10-16 14:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197376306 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197376945 The antagonist in Cut is a couple things, both of them related to Callie's own mind. One thing is Callie's fear of speaking, and another is her confusion as of why she hurts herself. The reason for this is because her self harming is what's dragging her down and what also put her in the mental hospital]]> 2017-10-16 14:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197376945 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197377837 The main conflict in Cut is helping Callie find out why she cuts herself, because if they find that out, it can help her stop cutting and get better at controlling her anxiety.]]> 2017-10-16 14:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197377837 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197379314 The theme is to make decent progress on finding the answer, but take time if you need to. An example of this is when Callie first began talking to her psychiatrist, and being surprised when she hears how small her voice is. And, even though this takes place only two pages later, she is for the most part talking on her own, stating that "the words seem to come out on their own."]]> 2017-10-16 14:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/197379314 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199361098 2017-10-22 15:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199361098 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199361205 It is unclear which point of view you are actually in, but it is most likely first person. The reason why is because we're mostly reading what's going inside Callie's head, and the words "I," "me," "my," and more are used a lot. It may also be second person, meaning we're looking through your own point of view, because when Callie's with her psychiatrist, she calls the psychiatrist "you" and "your."]]> 2017-10-22 15:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199361205 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199363940 2017-10-22 16:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199363940 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365052 2017-10-22 16:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365052 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365224 Callie doesn't speak that much, or at least she didn't in the first half of the book.

One reason is so she doesn't have to speak. The other is to try and distract herself from her anxiety.]]> 2017-10-22 16:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365432 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365606 What Callie does has a pretty bad effect on others. Some people expect her to not talk, so they ignore her. Others try to make her talk, even though it is hard for her. At one point Callie got a phone call from her mother saying that if she continues refusing her treatment, then they might release her from the institution.]]> 2017-10-22 16:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365606 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365972 Though these actions improved later in the book, Callie mostly just did her routine, prevented herself from talking, and cut herself to get rid of her anxiety. She didn't really have many actions. She merely existed at the start of the book.]]> 2017-10-22 16:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199365972 sara_weimer https://padlet.com/sara_weimer/ns88n168r6uc/wish/199366434 Not much is known about what Callie looks like.
