In one of the chapters, Shelby is walking home from a party and Jason Puckett came running up to her and was trying to walk her home. When they were walking, Shelby caught a familiar scent that was on her cat Ernie earlier in the book. That’s when Shelby realized that the stalker was Jason Puckett and he was walking right beside her. Another exciting event that happened was when Shelby tried to make a run for it when Jason was walking with her. She made it a little bit up the street but was soon knocked to the ground because Jason caught up and jumped at her feet. After that he tied her up and locked her in a shed. Near the end of the book, Shelby was smart enough to use the batteries from the Walkman and put them in the mini alarm her dad gave her. When she was under the floor boards, Shelby heard some kids coming so she turned on the alarm hoping that they would hear it and save her. The kids heard the alarm because they ran off to go and get help. There was soon a loud crash of the door being knocked to the ground. Shelby started to kick the floor boards so that they would know that she was under the floor. Some shuffling was happening above her as the table was being moved out of the way and the floor board was lifted up. The police officer reached down and helped Shelby out from under the floor board. They drove Shelby home and her family was so excited to see her. When she was inside, to her surprise, Greg was standing there relived that Shelby was ok.

  • Analysis Of Marked Woman Unmarked Men

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “Marked Woman, Unmarked Men”, Deborah Tannen argues many points about how women are targeted based on their style choices, such as makeup, clothing and hair, as well as their last names, and titles they choose to take on. Tannen argues her stance when she says, “Each of the women at the conference had to make decisions about hair, clothing, makeup and accessories…. Men can choose styles that are marked, but they don 't have to… . Unlike the women, they had the option of being unmarked.” here you can clearly see that Tannen is illustrating her point by showing the difference in how men are looked at compared to women. She clearly believes that men don’t have to take their style, and lack of makeup, into consideration. In other words, this is a perfect representation of her argument in “Marked Women, Unmarked Men”
