Isabel No Tie Analysis

454 Words2 Pages

Paragraph (written in complete sentence/correct paragraph format): In this novel two questions rose from the pages. My first question is, why would Isabel be so rude to Colie? The main reason that she is so rude to Colie is because she is jealous of her. She is jealous of her mother, “I’m sure your mom can afford to send you to a professional” (Dessen 26). Colie just lost 45.5 pounds and is still self-conscious about her appearance. She has a lip ring and dyed black hair. Isabel thinks that her lip ring is disgusting and she can’t believe how much confidence someone has to have to wear her hair like that. The other reason is that it is not easy for Isabel to open up to others. Isabel is very closed to people she does not know. She hides underneath …show more content…

My first theory is that she was too busy. Colie’s mother had a world tour for her line of fitness videos and techniques. Colie was not exactly happy to be away from home the entire summer, but she had no choice she could not stay home all by herself. At the train station, “I’d pictured myself stony and silent as the train pulled out of the station, my angry face the last image she’d take with her on her European Summer FlyKiki Fitness Tour” (Dessen 3). The second theory behind why her mother sent her away is because they are not close anymore. A couple of years ago Colie and her mother were extremely tight because they lived out of the same car. Recently, however, her mother is never home because she is always teaching a class or on tour. When Colie does find time to speak with her mother, her mom acts more like her fitness trainer than a mom. “Nit Kiki Sparks, fitness guru and personal trainer of the masses. Not the talk show Kiki, the infomercial Kiki, the Kiki that smiled out from a million weight-loss products worldwide. Just my mom” (Dessen 2). Most girls would love to have a mother that encourages them to do their best and does the same for

    While the number of sentences in a paragraph varies – sometimes six, sometimes ten, sometimes more – their length changes to give the essay an almost musical rhythm. Even in the longer sentences the mind’s eyes is tickled by Parker’s constant use of figurative language, humor, description chock-full of metaphors and adjectives, and allusions to the biblical, the supernatural, and the historical (especially so in paragraph five). All of these elements work in tandem to slowly but surely illustrate and finally reach Parker’s point as they hold an audience member’s attention and give him a way to slip in facts and citations without boring the
