Poppy is shown to be a fierce advocate of women and women’s rights. How do you think that affected her decisions throughout the book? Did she take risks she shouldn’t have?

Poppy did take risks even though at the time she did not think so. Recording her family, learning more than she should know, which did result in her death. She was a fierce advocate for the truth and for her family.

Poppy was a very hard headed girl who felt strongly about women’s rights at a young age. She did not want the life her mother was living and this did affect her actions. Yes she did take risks. I think even if she was told that that darn camera would be the death of her, she still would have done what she did. Hard headed!

I think the issue was that she was a child and did not realize the implications of how dangerous it was to call out people and then it is too late. If she had been older she could have come to her conclusions on her own and taken steps to remain safe.

I agree with Joyce. She was a child and didn’t realize how dangerous the path she was taking was.

Poppy took a lot of risks, but I would not go so far as to relate them to her feminists desires. Her advocacy of women’s rights was one thing, but her risk taking I would surmise came from her personality, being the youngest child and the only female sibling of two older brothers.
