Book Report: Sewing Machines

201 Words1 Page

One event that I saw in this book was forgery. I would say the antagonist of this book is Nina, according to page 26 of the book “It all started when we were five years old… But one day she was over at my house and she copied the design for a duct-tape dress I made for my Barbie. Then she told everyone in our neighborhood it was all her idea… But Nina struck again when we were in sixth grade. She saw my my patterns for a pink sparkly top top and made her own identical version… But the absolute worst time was when we were freshman. I was creating a dress I was incredibly proud of for the school fashion show… One day, my patterns just disappeared and the bobbin on my sewing machine… was gone. Nina’s design which was eerily close to what I had

  • Book Reports On Speak By Laurie Halse Anderson

    I’ll start of with the supporting characters in the book, one word: overdramatic. Drama isn’t always my cup of tea and this book and its characters seem to love it, or that is what I felt sometimes (Maybe I’m the overdramatic one right now). For example; Melindas ex-bestfriends started ignoring her after she called the police during a party and that is relatively exaggerated to a certain degree, I get that someone would get mad but if you really are bestfriends then it wouldn’t be a problem to try to understand the situation and try to make up.

  • Analysis Of Whores, Wives, And Slaves By Sarah B. Pomeroy

    The author, Sarah B. Pomeroy, writes this book in a style that resembles a textbook with many examples. She structures it in a timeline chronologically telling the events and breaking up the subject matter. The book lacked personality, although she had strong opinions that came through when writing the book, the style of writing lacked personality and was hard to read at times. The subject matter I found very interesting, considering it correlated with my class currently. At times, while I read this book, I found myself angry with men because of their brutal and thoughtfulness of women.

    Another element in this novel is Melinda’s inner conflict, man vs. self. What Melinda has been through greatly affected her everyday life. She struggles with depression, dislikes her appearance, and feels ashamed of herself for something that isn 't her fault: “I want to confess everything, hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else...even if I dump the memory, it will stay with me, staining me” (Anderson 51). Andy Evans, the senior who raped her, made her feel worthless. This situation is much like the one in the novel The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.
