Is Sandy
male or female? In this unique story you never know; the author leaves that
decision to the reader. Her unique style was chosen to demonstrate that sexual assault
and the aftereffects happens to both males and females. I had a difficult time
with the gender issue because depending on the circumstances and events occurring
at the time I simply viewed Sandy’s gender to fit the role. Although for the
most part, I pictured Sandy as Sandford. However, I felt Gray did sway the
gender issue a tad because Sandy is normally seen as a female name. I would be
curious why she didn’t pick a more common unisex name. I won’t be surprised if
this makes the Teens’ Top Ten list. Which gender do you read it as?
