Accepting Sally Tobstay In 'The Outsider' By Annie Larson
The strongest part that I've seen or encountered in the story was when Larson family accept Sally tobstay on their house. They didnt hesitate and completely welcome Sally as partvof their family with all thwir precious hearts. They showed their love and care every single day. They dont want her to fell that she is a total outsider, a total stranger. Instead, they keep on asking if she needs anything, if she's doing okay. They serve as her second parent. Most especially, they didnt regret until the end. They never showed bad deeds or anything that will hurt her. The second was when the time that Dana and Jeremy already accepted Sally's presence. They were learn from their mistakes. They finally treat Sally as their sister. Until then, they already

    Cedar Cove Chronicles Summary

    While the mysteries kept my attention, my favorite part of this novel was the characters. Todd is a delightful young boy who, while not overly troublesome, gets in his fair share of scrapes. His sisters Libby and Lilly Jean do not start off with much of a role, but they become more important as the novel continues. I found myself laughing with the family, crying with the family, and even getting upset for the family. To me, one of the gifts in writing is to be able to make your audience feel what the characters themselves feel. Ms. Ulmer makes this novel enjoyable by making her characters…

    Comparison: Wes And Ty Hill

    1.For Wes 1 my thought is that his life took a turn for success while he was at the military school. When his mother told him he had to stay at the school, Wes wasn't happy but, he had no choice. Shortly thereafter, Wes met Ty Hill. Ty influenced Wes like no one else had ever inspired him. And I believe that this meeting of the two helped Wes in a way that nothing else to this point had. He wanted to have the same kind of respect by others that Ty Hill had. I think for Wes 2 his turning point was when he saw and realized what the drugs were doing to Cheryl. He loved her and I think he believed if he could change, then he could help her do the same. His mind and heart were in the right place while he was being trained. Once he graduated…

    Laurie Halse Anderson Characters

    The characters are developed so well. Psychological thrillers, such as Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, can be hard to write, because the reader almost always has to know what the characters are thinking, and this has to be done while developing a plot. There was nothing in particular that I didn’t enjoy about the book. The final confrontation with Andy was climactic, despite my expectations of an anticlimactic ending like what usually occurs in books read for school. Anderson even developed Andy well enough that when Melinda was holding a piece of glass to his neck, I didn’t want her to kill him, despite his having raped her. In the aftermath of this confrontation, Melinda’s goal is to finish her tree before the school year ends. One girl sees her and congratulates her on defeating Andy. Melinda finishes the tree, and recognizes the fact that it is perfect because of its imperfections. This is an amazingly written ending, and a great conclusion to a great novel. Most loose ends are tied up, and the ones that aren’t resolved, such as Rachel calling Melinda after the fight, were supposed to be left for interpretation. The ending was satisfying, and not simply because it had a happy ending. The ending satisfies because it was realistic. Anderson could have simply written that Rachel believed Melinda when she was initially told that Andy raped Melinda, and then everything ends happily ever after. Instead, Rachel is infuriated, the same way a real teenager would, and is in denial, which is a natural human response to negative emotions. The fight is also realistic, because Melinda legitimately defeats Andy on her own without any form of dumb luck. This was an amazingly written…

    Winter Dreaming of a Socratic Seminar

    The Socratic Seminar was an educational and enlightening experience. Before the day of the seminar I was a bit apprehensive and was not sure whether the class, or I for that matter, would participate much or learn much. After the class I felt great about the experience and learned a lot, it was good to have a conversation with my fellow classmates about the story in a relaxed atmosphere. I was confused on several aspects of the story and wanted to discuss several topics such as Dexter’s motives during his attempted journey into Judy’s heart. Overall I felt that the Socratic Seminar was a great experience and I learned more about the story than I initially had by simply reading it.…

    In the end Alice’s daughter’s opinion was the only one that mattered after all. “Mommy, there’s a world in your eyes” (Walkers Daughter); “Mommy, where did you get that world in your eyes?”. Everything at that point changed Alice forever. Her outlook on things, the low self-esteem she had from worrying about what other people thought about her eye, everything. This was very touching because it took Alice that long to…

    4 Little Girls Reflection Essay

    It’s amazing how different the country was back then. It is a very moving film and it’s difficult not to be moved emotionally by the tragedy and senselessness of it all. It is just as vivid to the all the friends and relatives of the four little girls, as if it happened yesterday. As I stated, the film is very intense and moving because the memories of the people involved are still quite vivid. One scene that stood out to me was when one of the mothers’ stated that she doesn't harbor any hate. She used to but has kind of resigned herself to the fact that that it wouldn’t do any good at this point. Nevertheless, she admits that it’s something that she has to work on daily through her belief in God. Of course, it makes us wonder if we would be able to somehow handle it as well as she has.…

    Hard To Find Symbolism

    All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. Flannery O’Connor is spectacular at using foreshadowing, irony, and symbolism in all her stories and many more literary elements. These stuck out to me the most in the story because they represent such big moments that are happening and going to happen. The story taught me that no matter how hard one tries to reason with someone it will probably not turn out good. I believe that to be a strong moral and I never would have been able to realize it without the use of the literary elements in…

    If I were to grade this book, I would give it an A++ because this is a very good book and shows that humans have the will to push through any obstacle. Even though they have gone through all of that God did not give them a break and show them mercy. Despite their hard troubles, they pushed through all the sadness and despair and turned it around to help other people not make the same mistakes as them.…
