Post Secret

I chose the fourth post about the person who gives a reason why they have no friends. In this text the explicit claim is that this person has no friends and they want there to be a reason for this. This person uses a reason to make themselves believe its because they are extraordinary and people are scared. I think this author is a lonely teenage girl. The way the text talks about being beautiful so people are intimidated to talk to her. It is portrayed as something a girl would say. This secret is geared toward both types of people; those who are lonely and those who only look at people who need friends but do not become a friend. It relates to people who do not have friends and can give those people a sense of comfort to know they are not the only ones who view themselves that way. It can also show how it makes people feel to be alone to those who take having friends for granted. The visual on this card, does not go along with what is being said in my opinion. I do not understand how it relates. It is just a slurred background with feet walking. I just did not get how it related to the text.

I also didn't understand the background on this post. You did a good job of explaining who the author is. I agree that it is most likely a teenage girl; I can see a teenage girl saying this. I think it's sad that someone would have to say this to make themselves feel better.
