My two alternative mediums that I have chosen are Unfriended the movie and. Speak the book. Which both showed the theme Loss of Innocence.
In the movie Unfriended that just out a few weeks ago. A girl Laura Barns was at a party and she got drunk and popped on herself. People recorded her and took pictures of her and called her names and they told her to kill herself and so she decided to do that. Laura Barns was a girl who was just trying to party just like the rest of them. She came back to hunt her friends that betrayed her. Laura Barns was trying to teach her former friends that you have to watch what you say and what you do to people because you never know what they are capable of doing. In the book Speak Melinda Sordino went to a party and Melinda ended up calling the police because she was raped by a guy. Melinda thought she couldn't do anything else but call 911. She was just an innoncent girl wanting to have fun just like other people at the party. After Melinda faced the fact that she was raped she begins to recover from the trauma of the event. She is worried about her former friend. She tells her friend but her friend doesn't believe her. Melinda begins to feel free and open because of the fact she was speaking up about her incident.
Both of the medium have a main character that has been hurt by some people or life changed in some type of way. The mediums in common with 13 reasons why because Hannah was just a normal girl who was harmed by others and so as the girl in Unfriended and in Speak. They borne show Loss of Innocence because they both are showing a person, who is severely mentally disabled or the quality of being innocent.
