The characters in the book were bombed while they were talking to in the restaurant.

    The literature was very well written and you were able to feel the connection between you and the characters. For example when Will and his father were traveling down the stairwell and came to the levels where the main point of the fire was, you could almost feel the heat like you were right beside them. This helped me imagine what these people in this disaster were going through, it really put what happened in perspective for me. Having these outstanding details helped me understand the severity of this horrible event. There were many parts in the story where you could feel the characters pain or struggle, like when Will tripped over a piece of cement when the tower had collapsed, I could feel the pain that he was going through when he thought he lost his father for ever. I feel like this book could improve if there was a little bit more advanced vocabulary, especially during the very intense moments. I would have also liked to see more of an ending, like what happened when they went to pick up Will's friend from the fire station or what happened when he got home to his mom. Having something at the end like that would have made to story more interesting at the end, not just them getting to safety and then the story ending. Overall this book was very intriguing and well written, and I would definitely read this book…

    The first excerpt that really stood out to me was that of Fern. I found it interesting and sort of sad how mysterious how she was. You could tell that there was a lot to her that never expelled from her outward appearance. Even those who knew her knew nothing that went on in her mind. She would often stare off, seemingly in a longing way, as if she were looking into an abyss. It seemed that men understood her the least, however. They would spend…

    Center stage in Kaye Gibbons’ inspiring bildungsroman, Ellen Foster, is the spunky heroine Ellen Foster. At the start of the novel, Ellen is a fiery nine-year old girl. Her whole life, especially the three years depicted in Ellen Foster, Ellen is exposed to death, neglect, hunger and emotional and physical abuse. Despite the atrocities surrounding her, Ellen asks for nothing more than to find a “new mama” to love her. She avoids facing the harsh reality of strangers and her own family’s cruelty towards her by using different forms of escapism. Thrice Ellen is exposed to death (Gibbons 27). Each time, Ellen has a conversation with a magician to cope with the trauma (Gibbons 22-145). Many times Ellen’s actions and words cause it to be difficult to tell that she is still a child. However, in order to distract herself, Ellen will play meaningful games (Gibbons 26). These games become a fulcrum for Ellen’s inner child to express itself. Frequently, Ellen will lapse into a daydream (Gibbons 67). Usually, these daydreams are meant to protect herself from the harsh reality around her. Ellen Foster’s unique use of escapism resounds as the theme of Kaye Gibbon’s Ellen Foster.…

    Death seemed to be the main subject in this book. “Johnson fired his gun three times more. . . They ceased struggling. There was a terrible silence.” (Bradbury, 137). In every single story, someone always seemed to die. Whether it was from hatred, natural causes, rocket crashes, or murder, death was always present. I know death has to happen, but this book took death to the extreme and cannot say that I enjoyed reading about…
