Summary:
Safe. To Tracy, safe means having Mama close by. Years after her mother's death, Tracy still feels her presence. But the moment Tracy is forced into a car as she is walking home from school one day, safe is ripped away. In the aftermath of an unspeakable crime, thirteen-year-old Tracy must fight her way back to safety and find comfort in her mother's memory once again.
Susan Shaw returns with a raw and moving story of a young rape victim's journey toward healing, empowered by poetry and music, family and friends.
The Theory:
Narratology in literary theory is the study of narrative structure. It looks at what way narrative have in common and what makes one different from another.
An example of a narratology is the novel entitled Safe, written by Susan Shaw. In the story, the protagonist narrates about her suffering of being a rape victim and on how she recovered from such a horrific experience. Tracy was being attacked and raped but she never discussed in detail her whole experience. She suffered from a trauma and finds herself unable to go out of the house without her father. The story is not action packed but more on realistic view.The heart of this story is the recovery and reaching out. I like the ending on how Tracy emerged after a terrible experience.
