Clearly you're confused, Wade. In more ways then one. :lol:

Who is Marth Nibley?

If you check Marth Beck's high school year book you just might figure it out. And, if you do figure it out, would you mind answering my question?

I don't know who Marth Beck is, sorry. I didn't see a question, either.

Playing dumb seems quite natural to you...so much so that I could easily be convinced that it is natural to you.

What do you think of Martha's use of the word incest as found on pages 229, and 286?

I answered that question already: alliteration.

I don't understand your answer in this case. Those two pages do not contain instances of alliteration.

Me too. Are you trying to say that Martha describes the sexual abuse by her father as incest?

ETA: you've edited your post so now my response doesn't make much sense.

I'm saying that she describes incest as sexual abuse by one's family.

My bad. I thought I edited it before you or anyone had a chance to read it. My original post said "I'm confused." instead of "I don't understand your answer in this case." in case anyone cares.
