Rowdy Gives Me Advice About Love

"White girls are privileged. They’re damsels in distress." (p. 116) What does this
mean?

34 comments:

  1. It means that white girls have everything and they dont want everything. It means like they are sad and feel like they want someone to help them escape their perfect life. This is what i think it means.

    1. I disagree. I think it's not that they don't want everything, it's that they think they don't have everything. If that makes sense..

    3. I agree and disagree. It all depends on the girls personality whether she likes all the attention or not.

    4. Camille has got a good point. Their just dumb and dont realize how much good they have. So they complain and annoy people.

  2. I think it means that others treat white girls like they're incapable of doing things everyone else has to do, so they give them special priviledges or special treatment. An example is how Junior thinks that he has to treat Penelope different since she's white. He thinks that he has do do different things to make her love him.

  3. I think this means that if your a colored girl most people dont care about you but if your a white girl people care more about you then they do with anyone else on the planet, so meaning white people get treated better and have petter privledges.?

    1. I kind of agree. I think they get treated like they have better privileges but they don't want to have them. I think.

  4. I think he means that "white girls" get special treatment or maybe he means that they get stuff handed to them?

    1. I agree. White girls seem to get special treatment.

  5. I think it means that their life seems so perfect, but in many ways its not as perfect as it seems. They seem to get everything they want. Penelope is a good example she seems so perfect, but she is Bulimic and no one would have guessed that.

    3. I agree with you Teanna. Girls think that they are always perfect, but at points most of them aren't.

  6. I think it means that white girls are treated more fairly just because of their race. It seems like so many people in the book are racist, so that's why I believe that's what it means.

    1. i agree and disagree, i think it mostly is saying that they want everything like they are spoiled and dont really have morals, just want attention and nothting real. But also i agree because that is a way of seeing it too.

  8. I think it means that white girls have everything given to them.They're spoiled and never have to work for anything and they are used to all the attention. In Penelope's case she is kind of sick of that.

  9. I think it means that theyre really needy like they want everything. They think they need everything, very selfishly. They're used to getting what they want all of the time.

  10. I think it means that different color girls don't get as much stuff or don't get away with stuff just like white girls do. They think they need everything. When really they don't.

  13. He is trying to say that white girls always have everything handed to them. It means that if they are in trouble someone is always there to get them out of the situation.

  14. White girls get more money and gifts and attention than rez girls. Then when they get sad there used to someone being there right away to help them out. Where it isnt always that way with other races of woman.
