Since they are young, the children don’t realize the mundane action of going to school makes up their special lives. The children “meet, down center” and head towards “Main Street, then turn left” (16) to go to school.

Wilder shows this common theme by having the two families go through everyday life, placing emphasis on the simple actions like

A small family of four, living in the Tory town of Redding. Life was great Mr. and Mrs. Meeker owned a small tavern that supplies their town with food, rum, and supplies. Their son Timmy helped around the tavern and did chores, because his older brother Sam was off at college.

The inn keeper's parlor was the best in town, they told her. His wife was wearing a heavy dress, adorned with lace and a massive broach that she raised a plump hand to touch, as if to be certain it was still there. They spoke of the massive rug, bought from Paris, and the finely crafted furniture they all sat upon. The preacher listened quietly, smiling as though their vanity wasn't a sin, while Mrs. Hartford eyed the dress with longing. Della thought that the dress was tasteless. The lace was poorly made, and the line of the bodice wasn't flattering. The fabric was an odd shade between blue and green, and the woman inside it was far less appealing. She didn't bother to mention that her own parlor had been filled with crystal, and priceless art her father had collected around the world. She didn't mention that her toys had cost more than Mrs. Johnson's gowns, or that she was mispronouncing the tea they'd been served. Not to be kind, not to be deceptive, but because did not matter anymore. Nothing mattered anymore. She'd given up that life to marry Ben, given up her family, given up her home and her gowns and her education.

This is sweet because Jane found a mother-like figure in Ms. Temple and she has not really found that in anyone considering her mother passed away. However it seems like it should be hard for Jane because all of the motherly figures have been taken out of her life. For example, her biological mother passed away, she does not have Bessie in her life right now and, now, Ms. Temple is about to leave and start a new life and Jane is left (again) motherless.

How would you feel if you were blamed for killing most of your family in an accident that could’ve been prevented? Billie Jo Kelby had to go through just that in the Newbery Medal winning book, “Out of the Dust,” by Karen Hesse.

Her mother was very important to her and it really crushed her and made her miserable.

Another conflict that La Vaughn faced was that she had a very passionate crush on a childhood friend, Jody, and wanted desperately for him to ask her to the school dance. La Vaughn admired everything about Jody, from his fresh chlorine smell (he was a swimmer), to his cheerful attitude. She admired most Jody’s desire and determination to attend college.

To her delight, he agreed to her invitation. Jody and La Vaughn had a wonderful time together at the dance, and La Vaughn cherished the pictures they had taken together on that special night.

Before she went and met IT, Mrs. Whatsit tells her, "My child, do not despair. Do you think we would have brought you here if there were no hope? We are asking you to do a difficult thing, but we are confident that you can do it. Your father needs help, he needs courage, and for his children he may be able to do what he cannot do for himself." This gives Meg some courage and eventually she fights the powerful IT by herself and is victorious, saving the people of Camazotz. Even people who don’t save entire planets can be heroes, like in the book series, The Octonauts, there is a group of underwater explorers who help any animal in need, big or small.

She tries to enter the scene with poise and confidence, but immediately this sense is lost when she conforms to the oppressive male figure telling her to “sit down” and “step out so they can talk behind her back”. This dialogue immediately sexualizes Jo as a woman who gains no respect, has no say, and is clearly thought and looked down upon. Jo begins the movie as a female struggling to be recognized as someone who

"Four women, taught by weal and woe To love and labor in their prime. Four sisters, parted for an hour, None lost, one only gone..." (365-366). Jo wrote these lines in a poem, after Beth died.
