Warning: The question contains spoilers. If you haven't already read the book, you may not want to read the questions.
Read pages 178-179, from "Yes, she knew they ..." about halfway down the page through to the top of page 179, finishing the last paragraph of page 178.
Belinda was raped two years earlier and now she's contemplating how her life changed after that. She had been a virgin for religious reasons but after her rape, she rejected God, her religion and her boyfriend. Why do you think she did that? Is that a natural reaction to a rape? What might have been some of the beliefs that she held at the time of the rape? What beliefs would have been better, would have helped her deal with the rape without fundamentally changing her lifestyle?
What does the Bible tell us about suffering? Do you think a sexual assault takes away sexual purity? Consider the Old Testament laws about rape. What is the intent behind those laws?
