11. Despite everything, Jeannette refuses to condemn her parents. Were you able, as a reader, to remain equally nonjudgmental? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, as a reader, I wasn't able to remain equally nonjudgmental as Jeanette.

Step-by-step explanation:

I wasn't able to remain equally nonjudgmental as Jeanette because she was brought up in a family where she thinks that her parents had done much more for her than she deserves.

Jeanette refuses to condemn her parents because she is sentimentally connected to them so much. As a reader, I feel that her parents have failed to protect her from sexual predators as they thought that it was normal when in reality it was their duty to protect her from any potential threat.

Jeanette also feels that she should not confront her parents with her personal problems. However, it is rather the parents who have made it 'normal' for her to feel that some things are meant to just 'let it slip'. This is why I think her parents have failed in my perspective.
