Bella was fighting for better treatment in her career. Then a fight happened. Yetta, being Bella’s friend, tried to help her, but failed. The author writes “Tell him that Yetta was really trying to help me, she didn’t do anything wrong, she shouldn’t be in that police wagon-”(Haddix 100). This quote from Uprising, shows how Bella took this situation.

From the begging of the book, we can see that Bella may not be the most emotional or personal character based on her relationship with her father. Bella is very distant from her father, as she left him and Forks with her mother when she was only a child. She does not show much emotion or love towards him, even after he buys her a truck, and refers to him as Charlie rather than dad or father or papa or any other sort of informal noun to describe one’s father, a person who is about 50% responsible for your existence. The first few chapters discuss Bella settling into her new life in

In this paper, I will explain how the article “The Lady and the Tramp (II): Feminist Welfare Politics, Poor Single Mothers, and the Challenge of Welfare Justice” by Gwendolyn Mink relates to the thematic focus of working women and the Marxist and socialist branch of feminism. In Feminist Thought: A More Comprehensive Introduction, Rosemarie Tong explains that Marxist and socialist feminists understand women’s oppression as a labor issue. Women’s work is not viewed as a productive contribution to society. One of the ways Marxist and socialist feminists sought to improve women’s oppression was through the wages-for-housework campaign of the 1970s, which fought for work done in the domestic sphere to be paid and respected by society. In this same vein, Mink’s article can be viewed as a continuation of sorts of the wages-for-housework campaign. Mink suggests that poor single mothers have the right for their work to be recognized by society and supported economically like the Marxist and socialist feminist in the 1970s.

After a fight Paul takes part in at Lake Windsor High, he runs to his neighborhood. Unfortunately, he is cornered by Erik and Arthur, who attempt to intimidate him. Paul narrates, “I understood that I was supposed to be terrified by this spectacle… But for once in my life, I wasn't. I stepped forward and faced them, just as I had seen Luis do… ‘I'm not afraid of you, Erik. Come on’” (Bloor 260-261). Since Erik chooses to confront Paul, Paul finally does not run away or get worried about what the outcome would be if he talked back to Erik and finds the courage to fight him off. He realizes that his opponent is just a punk trying to ruin his life, and drag him into his careless problems. Furthermore, as Paul faces Erik, he recognizes his same procedure full of pitiful remarks and, "When they finally spoke, it wasn't terrifying, it was lame… Erik stared at me with growing fury, with growing hatred, moving the bat in a tight circle” (Bloor 261, 252). Erik conveys his choice to frighten Paul, making Paul see that Erik was not as terrifying as Paul made him up to be. Paul perceives how terrifying Erik’s true self actually is, as a result of Erik’s choice to confront

First, Paul experiences a growing understanding of his friends. Such as Victor who plays a major character when Paul moves to Tangerine Middle School.

He’s a joke, man. He’s nothin’. And the rest of you guys?... That makes you less than nothing’. Less than zero. That’s you Lake Windsor Man. Less than zero .

Bella had been carrying around guilt from Abraham Lincoln’s assassination so she decided to go and tell the authorities about her involvement in the assassination. Bella talked to Mr. Stanton about her involvement and he told her “Your imagination has taken over your mind. This tragedy has exhausted us all and done peculiar things to many a mind. Go home, my dear, and pray to God for guidance.”(page 205). It was smart that Mr. Stanton decided to simply send Bella home when she tried to explain her actions instead of putting her through a trial. He had known that Bella felt awful and that she was so stressed out with her position in the assassination and kidnapping. Bella shows us her stress when she says “ tossed and turned all night in misery,

The realization of difference often marks a significant moment of turning in childhood, moving from a blissful but naïve ignorance to a newfound sense of reality’s burden. Countee Cullen and Cecilia Woloch chronicle the moment when a child grasps a sense of difference from other children and the surrounding world. Hinged by their elegiac tones, the contemporary poets explore how wounding words cause loss. Cullen’s “Incident” and Woloch’s “Blink” both implement imagery of size to examine the volta that is the realization of difference. This manifests in Cullen's specific diction, and Woloch’s integration of visceral and religious imagery. Each poem has a volta, a turning point of realization that reveals, in retrospect, the impact of the poem's events on the narrator's life. The contrasting placement of the volta causes the poems themselves to differ in their sense of closure, leaving the reader grasping the remnants of childhood innocence. Cullen's word choice leading to a sudden volta show how a tiny event can leave an imprint on a lifetime, while Woloch's rising volta gives hope in the last line of the poem.
