I was honestly surprised how much I truly enjoyed The Misfits by James Howe. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the way that this story was written and the multiple topics that were discussed made this book one of my top favorites. This book could fit with so many different text sets due to the many topics that were discussed. This would be a great story for middle school students to read, because James Howe made Bobby so relatable. I personally really appreciated this book because of the positive view of being yourself and the impact of having friends who support you, regardless how “cool” or “uncool” they may be.

The author of the Painted Door; Sinclair Ross used Repetition throughout the story to create a distinct mood and atmosphere. In the story Ann continuously repeated that ‘John would come home’ saying that ‘he always came back’. Repetition is noticed once again through Steven, he was repeatedly warning Ann that it would not be possible for anyone to make it through that type of blizzard, therefore John would not be returning that night. Stevens repetition gave the readers a sense that Steven wasn’t telling the truth and that John would in fact be returning that evening. This preconceived idea was based on the readers judgement about Johns personality.

Often times, this means excluding others and even outcasting them from society. Nearly everybody has experienced being an outsider. whether it was not knowing anyone at a new school to not having the “must have” item that everyone else seemingly had. The experience of being an outsider is not universal because the feelings associated with being outcast are circumstantial, people react differently, and people have varying degrees of introversion.

Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.
As a freshman in high school, I was introduced to one of the many bizarre problems in discrete mathematics. When some of my senior friends discussed the question on the bus, my curiosity heightened. I soon heard about the Monty Hall Three-Door Puzzle, a problem in which a person is asked to select one of three doors to open. There is a large prize behind one of the doors, and once the person selects a door, one of the other two doors is opened revealing a losing door. The person is then asked whether or not he or she would want to switch the door originally picked.

Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is a play set in 19th century Norway, when women’s rights were restricted and social appearance was more important than equality and true identity. In A Doll’s House, Nora represents 19th century women entrapped by society to fulfill wifely and motherly obligations, unable to articulate or express their own feelings and desires. Ibsen uses Nora’s characterization, developed through her interactions with others as well as her personal deliberations and independent actions, language and structure in order to portray Nora’s movement from dependence to independence, gaining sovereignty from the control of her selfish husband, deceitful marriage and the strict social guidelines of morality in 19th century Norway. Initially, Nora appears to be a dependent, naïve, and childlike character; yet, as the play unfolds, she appears to be a strong, independent woman who is willing to make sacrifices for those she cares about as well as herself.
