The most important fictional element for this short story is the use of symbols. One symbol in particular‚ the puppy. The puppy was symbolic in a few ways for both

The Sexual Offences Act 2003 (SOA 2003) extensively alters the legal regulatory framework concerning both rape and sexual assault.

3.8.2 Instrument reliability Saunders et al (2009) contend that although for a questionnaire to be valid it must be reliable‚ this on its own is not sufficient.
