Revenge Of The Cheerleaders By Janette Rallison

Question #1

In the story Revenge of the Cheerleaders by Janette Rallison there are two main characters, Chelsea and Rick. Chelsea is the protagonist. Chelsea is 17 years old about to be 18 and a senior in high school. She is captain of the cheerleading team at their school. Chelsea has pale skin and long blonde hair. I would say that she is conceited because on (pg. 1) she says “Super models probably slack off more with their looks than I have over the last month.” That sentence shows that she really cares about her looks and cares about what people think of her. She has a bestfriend and her name is Samantha. The antagonist in the story is Rick. Rick dates Chelsea’s younger sister Adrian. He is a senior in high school. He has more body piercings

Chelsea already does not like Rick because he is a bad influence on her little sister, Adrian, This is an external conflict for both Rick and Chelsea. An external conflict is a conflict between two characters and other characters can see it happening. This is man vs. man or character vs. character. Chelsea does not like Rick and vice/versa. Chelsea is getting back at Rick for all of the things he has done to her and the cheer team. Some examples are:

Making Adrian break up with him. Made Rick’s brother hate him. Breaking his glasses and his face on accident. (pg. 153-154). These are just a few. The initiating even was when Rick replaced the girls song with his bands song. The climax is when Rick and Chelsea start a war between the two. They start to argue at some points then some days they just don’t say anything to each other at all. The resolution of the story is when Rick stops Adrian at the airport, sings her a song, wins her back, and walk off happy. (pg. 237-238) It is assumed that they were all happy at the end of the story because Rick won Adrian back, Chelsea and Rick put everything in the past and are now

During the story, through time, Chelsea and Rick started to become friends. They were sorry for what they had done to each other. I can tell that this story took place in current time because they wore modern outfits and they also had cell phones. I know that touch screen cell phones have not been out for more than 15-20 years, this shows that it had to be recent. Chelsea was more comfortable in her house, around her cheer squad, and at school. I think it is because she is more used to being around and in those environments. The same goes for Rick. He was always comfortable around Adrian, his friends, and at big parties. I think that the setting really did change the characters attitudes. I felt as that Rick didn’t like being around the cheerleaders because he felt as if he was never up to their standards, he wasn’t perfect enough or he always stood out from them. The time period is
