Response to Jenni Rogoff Blog #2
Jenni's blog made me connect Hester's story to the character Lyla in Friday Night Lights. She was dating the quarterback of the Texas football team. When tradegy strikes, Lyla sleeps with her boyfriend's best friend, Riggins. When the school and students find out what happened with Lyla, she is ostracized while Riggins comes out of the situation with nothing on him. He actually became a little more popular in the student bodies eyes. She sits alone at lunch and no one will talk to her. There is a always a double standard. A woman is seen as "whore" when she is not in a monogamous relationship or cheats on her spouse. A man on the other hand is not known as a certain term. They are rewarded for the bad actions they do with popularity and cheers from their peers.
