Ordinary World

     In the  book No Escape by Norah McClintock we learn about Terri Tyson's attack. Terri Tyson was brutally beaten to the point where if her mother hadn't heard her scream and come to find Terri, she would likely be dead. Terri suffered permanent brain damage from her attack. She will never walk again and spends all of her life in a wheel chair. She can bearly manage a couple of words and gets very upset when anyone (including her parents) touch her.
     Before Terri was attacked she was a very smart, beautiful and happy girl with tons of possibilities for a pleasing future.  In high school we hear that she was very smart and a tutor to Calab Darke (a boy who didn't want to be at school). After spending enough time with Calab she began to fall in love, before her attack she had been dating him for several years. Fact is they were engaged. Even though Calab loved Terri and Terri loved Calab her parents didn't like her being with him. Terri had been accepted to a university before her attack and her parents wanted her to leave Calab to go to the university.

Above is what I imagine Terri and Calab to be like before her attack. Completely in love and ultimately happy with their lives together.

     Even though we never actually hear Terri talk in the book I was still able to gather the following quotes that I believe will help readers get a better idea of what Terri's ordinary world is like. "Terri is a bright girl with a good future"(McClintock, 175-176) and "The right thing was accepting the university scholarship Terri had been offered." (McClintock, 176).
