Journal 2

This journal does not need to be formal. It is to be conversationally, if that makes sense.
Now that you’ve read about how the legal system defines and approaches sexual assault, what are your thoughts? What reactions did you have when reading the materials?
(2) Taslitz focuses on the power of stories in rape trials. What do you think? What past American books, movies, tv shows, or other examples popped into your head when you were reading?
