In "Martin", Vaca, the main character, is introduced as a sibling and playmate of a poor family in the heart of a lower class urban area called Tracy. Vaca's sibblings are faced with a neiborhood newcomer named Martin, a boy who is assumed to be a glutton, due to his large belly size. In response to Martin's rather overweight apperance, Vaca becomes extremely angered. Considering the unwealthy status of the family, they are not accessed to the convenience of plentiful amounts of food. Based on this, they assume Martin's greed, and therefore attack him out of disgust. In the midst of a ten-minute brawl, terms between Vaca's family and Martin reach a climax of grudge and hatred.

Throughout this novel, a reader might wonder what the metaphor of this title might have been. In my opinion, I feel to kill a mockingbird is to destroy one’s innocence. The mockingbirds are represented by a number of characters, but Tom Robinson and Boo Radley stood out to me the

Two of my most recent favorite books, Momo, by Michael Ende, and Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt, tackle the theme of how time affects the way a person lives life. Momo is an extraordinary fantasy about a girl of the same name who saves the world from time thieves with her ability to listen. In Tuck Everlasting, the Tuck family lives forever. Each member of the family develops an idea of how to live when life has no end.

Have you ever wondered about living forever? Do you think it is possible to live forever?Has someone told you they can live forever?That’s where this story starts.

“Is fate getting what you deserve, or deserving what you get?” (Jodi Picoult). Ethan Frome, written by Edith Wharton in 1911, embodies this quote. In Ethan Frome, all three main characters, Ethan, Mattie and Zeena have made decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Ethan and Mattie had an inappropriate relationship behind Ethans significant other, Zeena 's, back which caused each of them to be emotionally distraught. Mattie, Zeena and Ethan were all responsible for their own actions which resulted in them getting what they deserved.

“She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.”

I see this quote as a way of implying to be more positive about a situation rather than be negative about it. Jeannette, in this part of the memoir, feels embarrassed due to the fact that her and her family is sleeping in a car that is falling apart. People are staring at them, and laughing which is not a great feeling at all. Her mom, on the other hand, has a totally different perspective on their situation. She would wave at these people like nothing was wrong; she was unfazed. I admire Rose Mary for not caring about what others think of her; it’s quite daring. When she tells Jeannette about the two sides of life, tragedy and comedy, I agree with her 100%. Looking at everything in a negative manner does nothing tip-top for anyone; negativity

“ Do you have those papers done that you were suppose to work on for our project”? I asked Gina, She looked at me and said “ no I had to go shopping, get my hair done, and I did not feel good”. I was talking to her and all she wanted to do was talk about herself. By ignoring me and only talking about herself Gina and not caring about anything but herself Gina was being self centered. The characters Judy Renneker from Gemini Bites and Sheila Mant from “ The bass, the River,and Sheila Mant” are both self centered because they only talk about themselves. They also don’t have any regards for others and their feelings.

In this novel, Rosie Dunne is obviously and absolutely my favorite and the most interesting character as she has to go through and face many kind of problems at a very young age. She is not just a fun and vibrant person, she is also a strong person because she has to give up her dreams and struggle in balancing her life after finding herself pregnant at the age of 18. I also really love the way how she writes a letter to Alex, that quote as follows:

The character’s in my book are very asociated with power and where they stand in the Empire. All these character’s have different levels of power. For example some of these characters that come to mind. Laia has the least power is a past slave scholar which isn’t very high in rank. Then Elias was a former mask who is now a “traitor” of the Empire. Then the commandant is the trainor and “ruler” in a way of blackcliff (but seems to have more power than Helene even though she doesn’t). Then Helene is was a former mask and is now the “blood strike” which is the second in command in the empire. Then Marcus who was a mask with Helene and Elias and is now the Emperor.

The central moral or ethical problem explored in Farewell to Manzanar is the isolation the Watatsuki family experiences. The time period the book was written in was difficult because of racial issues and constantly moving around looking for jobs, in other words, living like a migrant worker. “The people who had it hardest during the first months were young couples like these, many of whom had married just before the evacuation.” (21) This quote shows couples were being separated unless they were legally married. It was also hard to keep families with children together. The problem is not resolved for all, but for Jeanne, since the camp changed her as a person, she became less dependent of other people. She was getting older, and was in the process of learning who she is as an individual and getting an attitude along the way.

Revenge is a powerful thing, especially when a man allows it to consume his thoughts and control his every action and emotion. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, Roger Chillingworth is a perfect example of a man who allows his vengeful thoughts to turn into an obsession. When Roger Chillingworth returns to the colony after being held captive by Indians, he finds his wife Hester Prynne standing on a scaffold holding a child. Once Chillingworth learns of Hester’s affair, he devotes his life to the vengeance of Hester’s “unknown lover.” Throughout The Scarlet Letter, the reader witnesses how evil revenge is and how much it affects Chillingworth mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Katie is friend with Will because they have similarities and Katie feels comfortable/happy around Will. Katie has been Will's friend for a very long time. They have a strong bond! Evidence to support this idea is the summary at the back of the book. The author wrote "Katie has been Will's friend since elementary school." More evidence to prove that Katie is friend with Will is on page 12 in Katie's perspective the author wrote "Jenna shook her head. 'Sheesh! No wonder why he doesn't have any friends.' 'He's got us.' I said." Back to our original idea, to be someone friend you have to be comfortable and happy around that person. Katie and Will seems to be very happy and comfortable around each other. Evidence to support this idea is on page 55 in Katie's perspective the author

I apologize for sending this at such time. Yet I feel that if I did not express the following now it would be lost in the turmoil of which we call a day. I thank you. Too long has my mind been allowed to sit, and expire. Lost to the future, my conscious has sat idling on essays due for collages, or scholarships. But your enforcement of reading for starting class has allowed for me to re-kindle my interest into worlds and experiences of which existence I had forgotten.

Wordsmith a term which evokes the image of a traditional blacksmith who is pounding away on hot metal. The only difference is instead of forging metal, a wordsmith forges words. A wordsmith is someone who can manipulate words, are articulate and create compelling stories that captivates their audiences. There are many authors I believe are wordsmiths a few include, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Harper Lee and as a child Cornelia Funke.
