Ch.14 Cassette 7 : Side A

1. Hannah goes to Mr. Porter her first period teacher and guidance counselor, and no he did not help Hannah.

4. I don't think Mr. Porter went after Hannah when she walked out his office because she didn't want to press charges or confront him.
5. Mr. Porter- was unhelpful in helping Hannah
Clay- was hurt because Mr. Porter did nothing to help Hannah.
Hannah- is confused and doesn't know what to do.

11. Conspiracy- A combination of persons for a secret. Illuminate is a Conspiracy theory.

Circumstances- A condition that modifies a fact. Don't judge her unless you know every circumstance.

13. I think the teen issue in this chapter is that teens really don't open up to adults/counselors so they cant really help, although Mr. Porter should have had done something.
