I made a text to self connection with this book, when Aminata often reminds herself of important quotes her father often said about people. Aminata needs the mental strength she can acquire after suffering the loss of her mother and father, in addition she is now travelling as a captive of slave traders. The quote helps Aminata in many ways, " I grew quiet, and calmer. 'fear no man', father said, 'and come to know him" (Hill 54), just after she left Africa on a boat to unknown lands. Also Aminata uses many other references of her parents to help her interact with other people, especially when faced with Fanta a person she dislikes, "You must learn respect"(Hill 21) as well "Then you must learn to hide your disrespect"(Hill 21), her father said. I connected this to myself, as I repeatedly remind myself of what my parents say. I take the important knowledge they give me and use it

The single character that struck me is Jessica nicknamed Jess, Jess is a character that is a caring and protective of her conjoined brothers. As proof, “They’re okay?” I cry “Aren’t they? Richie’s okay and Clem’s okay and it’s all going to be fine, even though there hasn’t been a rehearsal operation. Right?” (page 215) This displays, Jess being protective of her joined brothers that is going to have their operation the next day. Jess’s biggest fear is that Clem, she fears that Clem won’t make it through the operation because compared to Richie Clem is the weaker and smaller baby. Additionally, “I’ve no idea, this is the first time, what I’m touching, except that it is cold and rounded and about the size of my hand.

In the article “Into The Dark Water” by Lauren Tarshis the author Lauren Tarshis puts a lot of quotes from what a kid Jack Thayer said when he was riding the Titanic. I think Lauren Tarshis put the quotes in the story for a lot of good reasons. These are my reasons why Lauren Tarshis put all the quotes in the the her article “Into The Dark Water.” My first reason why Lauren Tarshis put the quotes in the story is that she wants us the readers to get in the main character's shoes. She wants us to feel like we were on the Titanic right in front of what’s happening.

Big Fish produced by Tim Burton consist of much spiritual significance. For example, one might think the fish was a symbol of Christianity, because of the Jesus fish that we often see on bumper stickers, but there is one true spiritual significance. The one true spiritual significance that sticks out the most is the Christ- like figure. Edward Bloom, the main character represents the Christ- like figure in this film. Like Jesus, Edward Bloom is a storyteller who tells the stories of his father.

James Moloney’s A Bridge to Wiseman’s Cove (1996) is a story of hope about a young orphan named Carl Matt who struggles to fit in.

The quotes that moved the novel forward, and makes one think about the novel are the following: "Then from that eye, hitherto so dry and burning, was seen to roll a big tear, which fell slowly down that deformed visage so long contracted by despair. Perhaps it was the first that the unfortunate creature had ever shed." This is important because this quote happened right when Esmeralda gave Quasimodo the water. He has never had anyone be so kind to him and it made him cry a tear of joy. "It was the first gratification of self-love that he had ever experienced. Until then he had encountered nothing but humiliation, contempt for his condition, and disgust." This quote makes the reader realize that Quasimodo was being humiliated and laughed at

Peyton Fahrquhar had a strong fellings of loyalty to the south. He also had dreams of the glories of war and defending what he believes in. I believe the theme is implied more than stated. The author states early on in the story that all is fair in love and war which proves to be through the end. However, the story shows Peyton getting what he asked for. He had been warned about the bridge, but still the patriot in him and also the need to be a civilian soldier led him to his death. In the end what he seemed to really want was his wife and children. The theme of the story in my oppinion is be careful what you wish for.

He has nothing but looks everything. What more can one desire” (Wilde 1634). In this quote, The reader is able to see that she will do anything to get her family to the top, even if it means acting
