First of all let me apologize for my late review. I was two weeks in Greece and couldn't find the time or motivation to write a proper review on vacation. Sorry! Now to the app: Her basics are all fine. I like her apparaence description and that you gave her some imperfections even though she's the visual of the group. Her aversion to makeup and that she already went under the knife and thinks about doing plastic surgery is nice and it's great that the ulzzang you choose has so many pictorial-esque pictures in her gallery. Her background with her time spend in Japan is also interesting and I like that you described her intial struggles with the language. Sooyoung's personality is really well-written. I especially like the first paragraph …show more content…
I'm a bit doubtful whether a company would actually push someone this tall as a visual since some guys would be rather intimnidated than attracted to such a beauty, but I guess it could work if they tweak her height on the profile a bit. And with this height she certainly has great proportions. Her aunt seems like such a stage mom (or should I say, stage aunt) for wanting her to be underweight and urging her to undergo plastic surgery. The whole paragraph really shows how competive the modeling industry is and I find her looks (especially the nose piercing) very interesting. Her background is amazing, I like it a lot. The way her aunt basically raised her, her starting to do photo shoots at age six, the description about building up a poker face – it's gripping but doesn't seem unrealistic or overdone. Her cooking hobby but not being able to eat the dishes and having to gift them to others makes me feel bad for her. I also like that she's not really talented musically, it gives Jineon just more reason to hate her. First I was a bit skeptical about the idea of her aunt forcing Starship to add Taerim to the line up despite their intial protests but as I thought more about it, I liked it more and more. Her aunt basically paying off the company for adding Taerim to the line-up all makes it just more
The writing style is a clear representation of the importance of complexity. Written in third-person, the non-intrusive omniscient narrator recounts the convoluted
There were plenty of details about her life and her childhood, everything that she had to go through, every little detail was told. Walls did not leave anything out, even if there were some disturbing memories. Although the book itself was fantastic and it helped me understand the tough times through her childhood, the transitions from one event to another was a bit abrupt, causing some gaps throughout the book. Through the book, the message that was very evident was to help others in need, and if it is possible, to forgive and forget.
I appreciated the different sisters’ stories and perspectives while trying to live their lives as best they could. The way the novel jumps from past to present throughout the chapters is very interesting to me. For instance, Dede was brought back to present day when speaking to the interviewer, but seemed to be “going back into the past after hearing certain things about certain people” (Alvarez 66). She would often change back and forth throughout the chapter, keeping the reader involved with what events were happening during the time. Also, when the interviewer asked questions, “Dede feels as if she cannot carry off her responsibility by talking about the terrible past” but she realizes that this is the best thing to do for her family (Alvarez 65).
Character development is the most crucial element of a story, as it urges the reader to analyse the motives or the emotions that character may convey, therefore making the story immensely impactful. Wayson Choy effortlessly and deftly develops the character of Sek-Lung in his renowned short story, “The Jade Peony.” Sek-Lung, who is also the narrator in this story, is six years old and he’s struggling dreadfully to cope with his grandma’s upcoming death. The protagonist’s affectionate yet sorrowful feelings during this emotional crisis are clearly delivered, “Her palm felt plush and warm...
The words and structure of the author greatly contribute to the use of his
Although there are a few parts i did not like. Sometimes her use of description was a bit of a bad thing. For example the ending did seem a bit unfair and unfinished. they told about events but never tells what happens
It showed that the pressure of always being perfect and beautiful was hard on her. I also liked that most students can relate to being pressured to be something they’re not. I disliked that I felt the length of the book on multiple occasions. I identified with Paige because I have also been pressured to be someone I don’t want to be. In the story, Paige is pressured to be perfect and make no mistakes and this often happens in real life.
The fact that she can walk away from all those terrible experiences with love for her parents is incredible. Another thing I loved about this book is how it represents her parents, with all their faults, and their poor mentality, at its worst, without anger, or really any judgment, just with the love. If she had been bitter in her description it would not have been as amazing. This memoir was written with forgiveness making me respect her for not only surviving such a strange childhood to become a successful, but for being able to view her past with
Beginning with the first chapter it stresses how the author
So far, the ideas are well-connected, and each paragraph maintains one direct focus, not shifting back in forth on the idea. Each analysis is sufficient, so there is not a part that I feel the author just stuffs all of the ideas
In How to Write a Memoir, William Zinsser gives information to encourage his writers. Such as, “Be Yourself,” “Speak Freely,” and “Think Small.” Some memoirs follow what he does, and some do not. In this memoir, “Soul Surfer,” Bethany Hamilton supports Zinsser’s writing ideas through her use of her own point of view, honest storytelling, and a lot of small and past memories. Zinsser says that the best memoirs are written from a child’s point of view.
Thoughtful, well written, and well researched, but also exciting and absolutely enchanting to read.” While on the other hand someone said, “The
Although the book had more action than last time and showed the sisters getting involved in the rebellion, I found it disturbing that Dedé wanted to marry her cousin. When the text states, “Her cousin now seems to quicken something in her heart” (Alvarez 67), I was confused by Dedé love for her cousin. And when she ended up marrying Jaimito and had kids, I was ultimately disturbed. Despite this, the action in the book had picked up and it was entertaining reading about the start of the rebellion. I noticed that the girls get married at a young age.
Her old friends now reject her and now she is an outcast. Speak is a very dramatic story, there is a lot that goes on in the story. It was very inspiring what happened in the end everything fell into place, it 's had a good feeling. This book did entertain me, it had
Look around, and try to find an everyday object that is not made out of plastic. You should find only a few. Plastic takes up more than 75% of our everyday items… And humans are facing the pollution that plastic is causing to the earth. There isn 't a realistic solution to this, because plastic is used in automobile tires, and also is used in electronic devices, silicon etc.
