Fairy tales are different for everyone. Sometimes they have similar themes, but not everyone finds happiness in the same ways. In Bet Me Cal and Min are finding their fairy tales are saving each other in the process which is an important part in fairy tales coming each other.
When we talked about families and how we can't get away from them I think that's definitely true. But at the same time in the book how Min and Cal had their families they made from friends, I think this is a rather common thing these days. I have this with my friends, we are family. You get to be yourself and sometimes it feels like they know you more than your actually family. With my group of friends, we have been friends since seventh grade and even though we go through our rough patches, I'll know that things will eventually work out...
In today's discussion about porn, I thought it was weird that no one mentioned the negative aspect of people abusing it. Maybe no one sees this as negative but I do. I think that people can enjoy it but some people are so addicted to it, that it's all they do. If it affects their normal life than it's a problem!!
Lastly I wanted to just say that cultural differences with just talking about sex and porn can be vastly different! On my dad's side they are Muslims and I can't even imagine having our class discussion with them present. (Mostly the older generations since my cousins are mostly Americanized). Even with them being Americanized, it just seems so unimaginable for them to even talk about those topics with out being uncomfortable!!
