Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants The book I chose to read is The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The author of this book is Ann Brashares. This book was published in the year 2001. Ann Brashares has four other sisterhood books, five including The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. This book is a New York Times best seller. It was even made into a movie. The main characters in this book are Carmen Lowell, Bridget Vreeland, Tibby Tomko-Rollins, and Lena Karigalis. These four girls play the role of the protagonist. All the girls are different from each other but that’s what completes them. They are all unique. There really isn’t an antagonist in my opinion. The setting of the book takes place mostly in Washington D.C. This story consists of three key events. The event that starts off The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is when all the girls are at Carmen’s house. They all try on a pair of jeans that end up fitting all of them, even though all the girls have different body types. Each week the girls would send the jeans to each other, while they were on their summer vacations. Lena went to Greece, Carmen went to South Carolina, Bridget went to Mexico, and Tibby stayed home in Maryland. Since they sent the pants back and forth to a different girl every week that’s why it’s called “the traveling pants.” While on vacation all the girls meet new people and become friends. At the end they all get back together and share their summer experiences. The theme of the book is showing how important friendship is. The girls all face challenges and problems on their summer vacations; they gain a deeper understanding on the importance of friendship and how much they rely on it in every aspect of their life. You may change, but your friends are always going to be there for you. What I learned was that when you are struggling through a problem you can always count on your friends to be there to help you out or even cheer you up. In my opinion

    The book focuses on three friends: Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt. These three students all met at the “University of High School” during this time they made a friendship pact to get through life itself. All three kids grew up as members of low income families so it was very hard to get the things they wanted. Every time one of these kids were to get in trouble I would think positive for them because I like these characters. Their story can help inspire others with a similar problem. All three are the same to me, they are all very kind but can also take charge when needed. There were many hardships they managed to slip by but others were so grateful. There were times that they wanted to give up but they didn't and successfully made it through to be doctors.…

    What the author wants the reader to think about would be the message that runs through the book. Which would be the wrong choice of group of friends and the influence that they imply on you by making good or bad choices. In Halley’s case it would be her lack of choice towards her actions when being around her boyfriend. The theme that best fits this book would be Love because the main character which is named Halley falls in love with one of her friend’s best friends and she starts a good relationship with her boyfriend Macon but later on is warned to be carful with him…

    As I was starting my homework, I heard my mom yell "Honey! Come down for dinner!!". As I went down the stairs, an aroma of buttery mashed potatoes filled the air. As soon as I sat down at the table, my father asked the same question he does everyday, "what did you learn at school today sweetheart?" "Well, I read a story called "Block Party" and we had to identify the theme of the story, which was that you dont necessarily need a mother to grow up well, get advice, help regarding more personal problems, or to have a female role model in your life. I agree with the theme of the story because if you need advice you can always ask your friends, or or if you are having more personal problems you could go to other relatives in your family. Also, you could have another female role model, such as an aunt or a grandmother.…

    Some common themes that Chrysanthemum deals with are overcoming differences, bullying in school, and self-esteem issues. This picture book is easy for children to relate to because they have all either felt these different feelings. The emotional themes I want to discuss about this book are excited and loneliness. With a new environment, new people and friends, a lot of the times students will become lonely because they do not feel like they fit in or they do not know how to socialize with their friends. In my observation, there is a student name Ryan and he feels very lonely everyday because he does not know how to talk to his friends in his table because he feels shy. He would not talk to anyone during dancing time, work time, lunch and snack…

    Never Give Up Quotes

    • 335 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I think one of the themes in this book “Exposed” is Never Give Up. Don’t ever give up on anything you want to and never let it slip without fighting. In the book it says, " She's been avoiding me all week long.” page 45. Yes the girl was avoiding her, but she never stopped trying to talk to her, like in this quote she talks about it with her, " Im sorry, Liz, but I can’t be with you anymore.Every time i’m with you I see him.” pg 131 " I thought we were friends! Forever-Best-Friends!” pg 130 I think she was brave for trying to keep cool and try to fix it. She never gave up on the friendship she want to still have and have her inner life.Another theme I thought was in this book is trust, it talks a lot about how Liz doesn’t believe Kate yet…
