During the course of a person’s life, a decision is made as to which direction their life should follow. Most people are encouraged by their loved ones to make this choice for themselves. When Kelly Cherry was twelve, she announced to her musically devoted, string quartet violinist parents that she was going to quit piano lessons and become a writer, in response, “[her] mother said that she would rather kill [her] than have [her] turn out like [her] big brother, a beatnik. She ran to the kitchen to get [a] butcher knife” (“Kelly Cherry”). Needless to say, she was not supported in this career path. Throughout the course of her early writing career, she would hear that she “had no talent for writing” (“Kelly Cherry”). Still, she continued to write, occasionally quitting again and again, like a smoker, only to pick it up again (“Kelly Cherry”). Continually she told herself, “You are not a writer” until one day she revised this to, “If you don’t write your books, no one else will” (“Kelly Cherry”).

In the insightful book “My Antonia,” Jim Burden tells about his life growing up with his grandparents and his relationship with the Shimerdas. Reflecting upon this marvelous novel, I find that I relate to several moments in the astonishing story. First, a part of the story I relate to is when the narrator speaks of how the Shimerdas are great people due to the fact that they are always willing to give, even when they do not have much for themselves. Second, I relate to the part when Antonia and Jim kill the massive rattlesnake, and Jim feels that he is a grown man for doing so. Lastly, when Mr. Shimerda kills himself, it reminds me of when my teacher, Mr. Anderson, told me that most suicides are caused by money. These details stuck out to me, and I found I was able to relate them to events that have occurred in my own life.

1. Why does Sommers discuss the intricate and intimate connections between herself, her daughters and her parents on pages 293-295? Why does she look at her family? She says that “Love (as well as writing) involves a radical loss of certainty” (295). How does that “loss of certainty” apply to writing as well as relationships in Sommers’ experience?

In “The Author to Her Book,” Bradstreet is awash in indecision and internal conflicts over the merits and shortfalls of her creative abilities and the book that she produced.

Melinda is a freshman at Merryweather high school. Freshman year is already nerveracking enough, but in Melinda's case, nerves mean a whole different thing. Over the summer, Melinda and a few of her friends snuck out to a party. Something makes Melinda to call the police, which busts the party and causes several people to get arrested. Those who got arrested go to/are affiliated with Merryweather high. So now, she is hated throughout the school. On her first day, Melinda walks in with no friends. Eventually she makes a friend named Heather. But Heather and Melinda aren’t going on the same path in high school. Melinda doesn’t seem to be interested in popularity (she would rather be hanging out in the janitor's closet or art class) while heather is, and wants her to join in on trying to climb the social ladder.

Her husband and his sister believe that writing is tiring her and heavily disapprove of her writing. In this short story, the narrator’s rich imagination found a healthy, productive outlet in her writing. In being forced to repress her feelings, she was put into a state of “madness” that her husband labeled as a nervous condition. Gilman mentions, “I am sitting by the window now, up in this atrocious nursery, and there is nothing to hinder my writing as much as I please, save lack of strength,” adding on the fact that because of the opposition, she is drained of her ability to write.

Rebecca Stead is fame as an American writer of fiction for children and teens. The achievement of her novels is not doubtful. She was born on January 16, 1968 and raised in New York City. Vassar College was the institution where she acquired her bachelor’s degree in 1989. Moreover, she has started to write since she was a child but she altered her career to become a lawyer. However, Stead started to become of writing subsequent to the birth of her two children. Her inspiration of writing children’s novel was from her son and her collections of story stories on her laptop. One day, her 4-year-old son by chance pushed her laptop out off the dining-room table and destroyed her piece of writing. Stead was very angry with her son and she went to the bookstore to find books which can inspire her to write. From that moment, her motivation and loving in writing began to boost up, and her debut novel was First Light which won The New York Best Times. Due to her great spirit in writing, she won The American Newbery Medal in 2010, Winner of the Boston Globe –Horn Book Award for Fiction, IRA Children’s Book Award for Young Adult Fiction, A Parents’ Choice Gold Award Winner and A National Parenting Publications Gold Award for her second novel, When You Reach Me, followed by achieving Guardian Prize in 2013 as the first winner for her third novel, Liar & Spy.

Throughout the course of this novel, many relationships are revealed and some had a tremendous impact on the book’s storyline. The two sisters, Nettie and Celie, exhibit a mother daughter relationship, which is completely broken apart when Mr. takes control of the situation by separating the two and concealing the letters that were the last chance for the girls to stay connected. Mr. and Celie’s relationship displays a soft spoken young girl, who lacked much self-confidence, fearing her husband, who was much older than she, because of his abusive behavior. The relationship between Celie and Shug, which in my opinion is the most dynamic relationship in the novel, sets the tone through the love and compassion the two share, and it is used as the kick

You did a great job of applying this comic back to the concepts in the textbook. Another thing you could have mentioned was how Zoe’s attitude was formed when wanting this backpack. In the “Attitudes” Section of the “Social Psychology” chapter, it explains the formation of attitudes. One of these is through interaction with others. It explains that if a person’s friend holds a certain attitude toward something, than that person is more likely to think the same way towards it too. This could explain why Zoe wants a different backpack. Someone that she had interacted with might have said that her backpack was not cool, so she formed the same attitude toward it. Another thing that could have been talked about was how Zoe was trying to persuade
