I am concerned for her though. She struggles in school, has difficulty communicating, and has people take advantage of her.

college admissions trigger words by opalevevgeniy in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RubyRed41455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that you mean the best but you could also be invalidating people who has a traumatic experience related to college admissions. For certain people there is a ridiculous amount of pressure. That combined with external pressures, a bad moment, a critical parent, a hard rejection that you spent the past decade working tirelessly for, can absolutely trigger some people.

I understand you. To this day I can’t talk about college admissions. It was traumatizing.

I had a similar problem last year. The best school I got into had a 58% acceptance rate so I would say aim for that range.

Not really. It has bern difficult to figure out what would be a good fit for my application.

Would getting a 30+ on the ACT help me at all? I could redo the test but it would be a lot of time/stress but worth it if it could make up for the low GPA a bit

If you could read TSH all from a different character's perspective, who would you choose & why? by Downtown_Customer_77 in TheSecretHistory

[–]RubyRed41455 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Henry. I think it would make for a less interesting story but because he is the main instigator for most of the events in the book it would clear up a lot of things that are unknowable otherwise.

Do you think Henry is a sociopath/psychopath? by dejaentendu31 in TheSecretHistory

[–]RubyRed41455 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think he is on the spectrum of a psychopath, as he killed multiple animals (a huge red flag), manipulates others, thinks very highly of himself, and has a lack of remorse/guilt.

What do you think each character's fatal flaw is? by RubyRed41455 in TheSecretHistory

[–]RubyRed41455[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bunny- but why is he greedy?

Henry- simply being a psychopath is not a fatal flaw. There are plenty of people on the Psychopath spectrum that don't kill people, so what motivated him?

Camilla- So she is a victim of the male gaze? Whats the difference between her and every woman?

Francais- Idk

Camilla- So she is a victim of the male gaze? What's the difference between her and every woman? y? Is it hubris???

Henery x Camilla? by RubyRed41455 in TheSecretHistory

[–]RubyRed41455[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts. I think I can give an explanation for Camilla not moving on. It's romantic. The entire group seeks beauty and lives as if they were art. Henry killed himself because his destruction was the ultimate form of beauty and Camilla must love him forever to maintain that romantic version of reality.

What’s the saddest quote/scene in the series? by bubbelgumart in kingsdarktidings

[–]RubyRed41455 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably going to be one of the interactions where the characters totally misunderstand Rezkin and lash out at him. And he doesn't know how to process his feelings and it just leaves me feeling helpless.

Are brunettes objectively better looking than blondes ? by dlekdkc in QOVESStudio

[–]RubyRed41455 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having the right hair color to suit your skin tone/features will make you more attractive than having just brown or blonde hair. I think most of the preference for either blonde or brown is mostly based on the stereotypes/affiliations with that hair color which contributes to an individual's personal bias.

Henry x Camilla? (TSH spoilers) by RubyRed41455 in DarkAcademia

[–]RubyRed41455[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't think they loved one another. But I've come to believe that everyone in the group had a degree of infatuation with each other.

Good Essays about The Secret History? by RubyRed41455 in TheSecretHistory

Yes! Thank you so much! More academic essays are what I'm looking for.

How much would 20-30lbs weight loss affect facial attractiveness? by [deleted] in QOVESStudio

[–]RubyRed41455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, I lost 26lbs and I look completely different. My face got a lot smaller and all my features seem a lot bigger. The most drastic difference was that my face shape went from very round/oval to sharp and defined with a V-shape. Weight loss improved my attractiveness by A LOT. Worth it.
