Saint Lucy's School For Girls Chapter Summaries
It is a warm, peaceful Sunday afternoon. Zits, from Flight, is on his way to his favorite coffee shop in Seattle, Washington. As he approaches the coffee shop he senses a strange aura emanating from the front patio of the shop. He pays no attention to this ominous feeling, but he does notice that a strange figure is sitting in his usual spot. He does not want to seem rude so he goes over and politely asks the figure if they knew that that was his spot. As he moves closer Zits notices that this figure is actually a girl around his age. He calmly approaches her and instead of asking her about his spot, Zits decides to ask if he could join her. This mystery woman is Claudette, from Saint Lucy’s School for Girls. Trying to fit into her …show more content…
That was a bad idea. Zits was clearly frustrated by how he had been raised since he traveled from foster home to foster home and until recently never had a permanent family. He honestly did not know how to answer this simple question. He began his story with the many foster homes that he had lived in. He used very vivid details that made the story seem even more realistic that it was. He explained that being raised in such awful conditions made him the person that he was. He contemplated his past before continuing the story. Zits told Claudette about his experience at the bank and how he felt that his action was caused by the lack of parental guidance that he had. Now that he had a real family that actually cared for and loved him he stated that he knew his life would change. After all he had been through Zits knew about and cherished the idea that your childhood makes you who you are. He had a rough and troublesome childhood and that made him rough and troublesome. Now that he could trust again and had a family that he loved he hoped that his life would change. He didn’t want his childhood development ruin his future. After finishing his story, Zits asked Claudette about her childhood. He had noticed that she was very attentive during his story and he wanted to learn what made her that

And hadn't been paying much attention to what the teacher was saying, because everything zoned out, besides appearances and movements. Mr. Hube was wearing a bright purple sweater with tan khakis, and was extra fidgety. Something got him all hot and bothered, and it was obvious.

    Elizabeth Marshall, an associate professor of education at Simon Fraser University, contends in her article “Borderline Girlhoods: Mental Illness, Adolescence, and Femininity in Girl, Interrupted, that Susanna Kaysen’s popular memoir is an accurate depiction of the characteristics which mark female adolescence. Marshall points out that the adolescent time period for a girl is defined by “historically and culturally bound gendered pedagogies” (118). It has become normal to think of this stage of a female’s life as a weak, broken, and self-destructive time and need help. Susanna Kaysen’s memoir attracts many young female readers who associate with the wounded girl image and are often seen by society as outcasts with…

    For this summary, I will be writing about the entire book “Women Without Class” by Julie Bettie. One of the very first things the researcher notices when she is observing the students at Waretown High School is all of the different social classes. There are the skaters, chicas, smokers, preps, etc. Each group accepts students based on their economic standing, as well as their overall personality and looks. None of the groups really get along well, because they all have different standards and backgrounds that align with their specific group. Aside from their parent’s economic standing, their “social capital” is what defines these girls and puts them into these separate groups. For example, the smokers all have similar clothing styles and attitudes…

    Jamaica Kincaid’s novel “Lucy” is from the point of view of a girl who moves to America for a better life. The main characteristics that stuck out to me were how blunt and to the point she was while narrating, but when interacting with others, she felt out of place or did not care. If I were to direct a movie based on this book, I would cast Rosario Dawson as Lucy, but to recall these events. Through out the movie, Rosario Dawson would narrate what Lucy is really thinking while the camera shows a younger version of Rosario Dawson. I would pick Rosario Dawson because in her most recent roles on every Marvel series on Netflix, she plays a nurse with an attitude that reminds me of Lucy’s attitude in the book.…

    More specifically Sammy finds himself analyzing these three girls who walk into the supermarket one day in their bathing suits. Now keep in mind this story took place in 1961 so it was not very appropriate to be walking around a supermarket in nothing but a bathing suit.

As the story goes on Sammy tries to analyze what is really going on in each of these girls’ minds. Such as he had decided that this one in the dirty-pink-beige bathing suit was the “queen”. As Sammy says, “She was the queen. She didn’t look around, not this queen, she just walked straight on slowly, on these long white prima-donna legs” (260).…
