The connection between the two stories: Bad Boys and Dear Rhianna.
  The story bad boys is about a girl who is struggling to find herself. She like the thrill of dating a bad boy because it makes her feel like she is being a rebel. She feels connected dating someone who is troubled.
   The story "Dear Rhianna" is about a girl who thinks that getting hit by her boyfriend is okay. I think there are two stories in this letter. One being about a girl who thinks it was wrong of Rhianna to leave Chris after what he did. The other being about the same girl who lives in a house, where there is an abusive relationship going on with her parents. Because of this relationship that she is witnessing in her home, she thinks it is okay for her to be hit by her boyfriend. Her parents have stayed together through this. She thinks it is a justifible act. When in reality there is no excuse for either of these relationships. In the book she says, "I know if I did that I would be expecting a confrontation and you really shouldnt dish it out if you can't take it ( Ensler 72)." I for one can not believe that any girl could think like that. No matter how mad a man gets at a woman he should never put his hands on a woman like this, and no woman should think that it is okay when it is
done to them.
These stories relate to one another because maybe she considers her boyfriend to be a "bad boy"

My first impression of reading this book was that it was very different from the Vagina Monologues. I thought the VM were more blunt and out there. It made you come out of your comfort zone and read something that was very real and raw. But the EC is a little bit differet. I think this book is geared towards young girls you are growing up. Whereas the VM is for an older audience.
       One of the issues that I think is in the EC is that girls fitting it and thinking that they have to be a certain way in order to get into the "in" crowd. In reality it is alot more challenging for girls to fit in with other girls, then it is for guys to fit in.  There are always going to be different standards when it comes to guys vs girls. For example in the story, "Don't,cairo Egypt." it says "Dont lose your virginity." Sex is different for girls then it is for guys. When girls have sex with someone they are looked as being a whore or  a slut, and they should not be doing something like that. But when guys have sex, they are praised for it.
