    In the book Push precious is similar to one of the prisoners in “Allegory of the Cave” because they both started in the cave. This is true because while they were in the cave they both faced some similar oppression. To begin, when precious got out of the hospital and straight home her mom tried to kill her so precious says ¨Gonna kill me wif her ¨BARE HANDS¨ it's like a black wall gonna crash on me¨ (Precious 74).

    In the “Hunter” by Julia Leigh a man goes into the wilderness to hunt the mysterious Tasmanian tiger. The story is about the inexplicable thylacine and it is set in the wilderness of Tasmania. The story is told in third person, and it is in present tense it is a simple story. Leigh's central character, Martin Davis is sent to Tasmania to harvest a rare and elusive species he is hired by a pharmaceutical company to hunt the last thylacine cat, an animal many believe to be extinct. His journey brings into his life three people he doesn't want to care for, but does when they are rudely taken from him, he becomes even more absorbed in his goal. Readers can never be sure whether Martin or the thylacine is really the hunter. The most significant relationship in the novel exists between Martin and the thylacine. He pursues and tempts her like a lover. During certain parts of the novel I became unsure of whether Martin had actually seen the cat or if he was going crazy, imagining shadows and sounds in his desperate loneliness. When Martin finally closes in on his target, it is clear that he is the only one who understands this creature and will succeed where other hunters have failed. The stories central idea is about what happens when a man is lonely, broken and vicious as he goes deep in the Tasmanian darkness to hunt a prized creature the main question that was going through my head as I was reading it was what will the conclusion be and who, ultimately, is the…

    In fact, she asked to be allowed to quit the journalism class because she just did not like to write. But what she did not realize at the time was that it was not the writing that she hated but rather having to write what other people prescribed for her. As an avid reader of romance it was only a matter of time before she came across a book series that ended badly that she decided to write a novel that she liked. After complaining for a week about the novel series her sister dared her to write a better novel. Never one to turn down a challenge, she got down to writing a superb ending for the novel. However, instead of writing a better ending of the novel, she set out to write her own romance novel in 2010 and the rest is history. She got her first break when she was a finalist for an online writing contest known as the Pitchwars. Soon after she had three agents offer to represent her, including one who had previously rejected her. Similarly, her decision to write romantic suspense was never a conscious decision. Having written contemporary romantic novels for years, she suddenly got an idea and crazy storyline for a romantic suspense and immediately started writing Rules of Protection two chapters into a contemporary manuscript. Just like with her previous venture into contemporary romance writing she has proven to be great at romantic suspense and has been a huge…

When she was one, her parents moved from Greenwich Village to Syracuse and then to Brockport, which is a small village in Western New York (and the setting for many of her novels and stories). Carolyn graduated from Vassar College in 1991. In 2003, Carolyn's second book came out. The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things went on to win the Printz Honor. Carolyn writes about literature-fiction, romance, and young adult. Carolyn stated, "People always ask me, 'Why do you write books for teenagers?' Lots of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that I honestly believe that, along with certain friendships, I was saved by the books I read during those years as a teenager. They spoke to me in a way that nothing else did. They helped me feel less alone. They made me laugh. They made me feel like there was a world bigger than my high school." Now Carolyn lives with her husband and son in New York City.…
