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"
