    Cornelia noticed that Hannah was feeling down, Hannah, if you’ve got something bothering you, spill it.


    Don’t carry the load all by yourself


    Hannah muttered. “It’s not a big deal, really It’s just sometimes I think being pretty isn’t all it’s cracked


    up to be Sometimes life can be such a drag


    She paused, then added “You know, Cornelia I’ve been thinkingtely. If Ashley wasn’t such a


    knockout, if she was just an average Jane Would she have been spared from the town’s bad boys? If


    she hadn’t been bullied, then she wouldn’t be branded as unchaste Her mom wouldn’t have offed


    herself over it, and she wouldn’t have been kicked out of her hometown like some kind of pariah”


    Hannah chuckled, “If none of that had happened, her life wouldn’t have been such a hard slog after her


    sweet sixteen. Not only being torn from the arms of her lover, but also having a few close shaves with


    death”


    After patiently listening to Hannah, Cornelia gently responded, “You’re spot on If none of this


    happened, Ashley wouldn’t have been banished. Her mom wouldn’tmit suicide, and she wouldn’t


    be separated from her lover. But you’ve gotta get it, the ones who caused all this were the bad guys.


    Not Ashley’s looks ming the victim is just


    not cool


    Whether it was the old days or the now open and advanced society, the expectations on women were


    always too harsh. Men’s screw–ups always ended up being pinned on


    Women


    There was a news story recently about a young girl who got assaulted. The cops arrested the perp, but


    some still defended him. Those sickening voices imed she was asking for it


    They ndered the victim for dressing provocatively, wearing heavy makeup, and being no good.


    Otherwise why would the perp pick on her and not others


    Some even suggested she was selling herself, and the only reason she called the cops was because


    they couldn’t agree on a price. In short, they put the me on the victim.


    Hannah said, “I know it’s not right to me the victim. I’m just venting, really Cornelia, chatting with you


    has lifted my spirits. I’ve got a scene to shoot, let’s catch upter Byer


    Hannah ended the call abruptly, leaving Cornelia no time to say goodbye. She logged back into


    Facebook, with a ton of messages from Hannah waiting for her


    [Hey, can we talk about Ashley’s character?]


    [Ashley is such a brave heart. In that era, being falsely used and losing her reputation, she


    managed not to give a damn about the odd looks. She pulled herself together, and became a


    courageous and clever woman. She didn’t lose sight of her dreams and helped many girls like her.]


    [I’ve been wondering, who saved who? Did the guy save Ashley, or was it the other way around?]


    [Lately, life seems unbearable, as if there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. If Ashley could be brave in


    such a predicament, why can’t I?]


    After reading those messages, Cornelia could kind of get what Hannah was going through. She


    pondered for a moment and decided to reply to Hannah as the original


    author of theic


    [Hannah Ashley, being able to gather her courage again after major setbacks in that era, climbed to


    heights women had never reached before through her own efforts. She’s indeed a brave and resilient


    girl. And aren’t you too?]
