Neeeed To Know

Before anyone reads the book Lucky by Alice Sebold, i would suggest that you be informed about the safety of college students and the presence of sexual vioence. In an article titled College Students and Sexual Violence written by Naomi Rockler-Gladen, found on Suite101.com you will learn alot. I would strongly suggest reading this article before starting the book because it gives you alot of information about college rapes. It makes you think about when it could happen, and it also emphasizes that they can happen to anyone who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. This website will make sure you know what to do if you are ever in the situation, and as you continue to read the book it will let you know if she did the right things. I 100% agree with the information in this article, going off to college next year i now feel like i know what to do if something were to happpen to me or a friend.

Another thing that would be helpful to know while reading the book is how to help. This clip i found on Youtube, tells you what you should do if a freind of yours is raped. Even though it may not happen to you personally, helping someone else could be very important to their survival. Its essential that you know what to say and not to push anything. Watch this video before reading the book, and it will help you understand how her friends reacted.
