A victim scenario is in most literacy narratives is a look back on something that scared or emotionally harmed them verses something that’s kind or pleasant.  The Rising Carin authors, although different, each have being a victim in common, even though they could have chosen a subject on a more agreeable status, but decided to go with a depressing victimised approach. Alexandra White states in her literacy narrative that “ I was always a slow reader growing up and when I started to notice other kids around me weren’t as slow as me, I started to retreat from the idea of reading. I dreaded the idea of getting called on in class to read out loud because I felt like my classmates were judging me”(1). She was a victim, she couldn’t find a way to read in class without feeling dread.  As she grows she feels like she doesn’t have the confidence to learn and read in class. She talks about how “Growing up I learned that being in a classroom I felt very uncomfortable and that causes me to worry about the way other students were looking at me. In elementary school I didn’t like the structure of the classroom and that made me not like reading in class”(2). Although being a victim is hard and difficult to get through she takes up what she learned and puts it to the past and grows as a person. She worked through her struggle of being a victim and changed it to have her grow as a person.

A victim is in most literacy narratives mainly because it’s very easy to look back on something that scared you then something that’s nicer.  These authors, although different, each have being a victim in common. Even through they could have chosen a subject on a happier note, but decided to go with a sadder victims approach. Alexandra White states in her literacy narrative that “ I was always a slow reader growing up and when I started to notice other kids around me weren’t as slow as me, I started to retreat from the idea of reading. I dreaded the idea of getting called on in class to read out loud because I felt like my classmates were judging me.”(1) She was a victim, she couldn’t find a way to read in class without feeling dread.  As she grows she feels like she doesn’t have the confidence to learn and read in class. She tells how “Growing up I learned that being in a classroom I felt very uncomfortable and that causes me to worry about the way other students were looking at me. In elementary school I didn’t like the structure of the classroom and that made me not like reading in class.”(2) Although being a victim is hard and difficult to get through she takes up what she learned and puts it to the past and grows as a person.

Depending on the type of situation, depends on how the person can overcome the obstacles that come there way. The feelings before the event that creates the victim can vary between each person’s event. In one literacy narrative by Aidan Shaw-Pigeon he states that “During the test I felt confident, but if felt weird, abstract and almost not right knowing that, that test was how someone would judge my intelligence. Waiting to hear how I did on the test brought with it no anxiety, I was sure I passed. Turns out, I didn’t . It was the only test I had ever taken and I had failed, terribly.”(1) This explains how just one bad event changes the view of learning. Even years after the initial event that caused them to become a victim in the first place they still can be Affected again. Pigeon tells how “She told me to wait a minute, and explained to me, due to my let’s say subpar placement test I now had to practice my reading fluency with her twice a week in the hall. This was mortifying. Not only did I not like telling people that I had to take study skills, now I had to sit in the hall and do simple reading exercises with my teacher”(2). Different events at different times creates a combo of victimisation for the person. Stress, depression, and overwhelmed are all feelings that are felt when trying to get over being the victim.

One event, that’s all it takes to scare someone. Ashley’s story is no different, she states “My sophomore year of high school I failed a class for the first time. The class was Western Literature, and at the time, I lost all motivation to do any and all work.” (1).  One test to put her interest in the class to go away. Once it’s gone getting confidence in that class again is very difficult. The stress that can come from not having a interest in the class can cause many emotions. Ashley states “My anxiety and depression were a tall brick wall that extended for miles on end: I just could not seem to find any way around the problem. Deep inside I knew I had to do the work to pass and just move on, but these things kept dragging me down what felt like a bottomless pit.”(1). Many emotions that rush through a students brain when stressing over homework and classwork and all there classes most due the same day and while playing a sport is difficult when you don’t like some or even one of there classes.
