Even though she had witnessed some bad things, she gathered her courage to tell Papa everything that had happened. Cassie showed the most courage in this incident while being the

Figurative language is used to emphasize Cassie and her emotions in her experiences and interactions and how she learns from that. Epiphany is used to convey how both Cassie and Stacey learned from their mistakes and simultaneously grew from said mistakes. Many other characters in this book go through an experience they could learn from, but don’t learn from it (e.g. T.J.). But, Stacey and Cassie, thanks to their parents they learn from their mistakes and experiences and get a life lesson along with it. Taylor's book displays a variety of themes but the most prominent theme is that making mistakes is part of life, and is okay, but it is important that you learn from those mistakes and grow from

Finally, Cassie had little-to-no human contact before she was shot in the leg and saved by Evan Walker but she still did not hesitate to kiss him, cuddle, fight, or anything that a normal couple would do. After fighting with each other, “Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand against his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck…” Despite Cassie being shot in the leg by an unknown shooter, aliens trying to take over the Earth, her brother being taken, and her family being dead, she is still a teenage girl who enjoys male interaction.

To conclude, Cassie’s long treacherous journey made her an acceptable hero in the monomyth. In the book “The 5th Wave”, Cassie extreme call to adventure made her grow exceptionally as a human, she wouldn’t stop until she fund her brother again. At the same time Cassie was able to learn advanced skills while invoking on numerous trails on her long journey. Cassie took pride in her ability to continue on her quest. Who in your life is able to follow the hero’s journey and become a part of the

She had help from Mama and kept asking her mother to help her and her brothers understand why blacks were being treated in this manner. The book takes place nine years before the start of World War ll. Throughout the rest of the book she started to understand why people didn't treat them right even though blacks were free. She realizes this when she was in the middle of the market place with Mama and bumped into Lillian Jean and was being screamed at by everyone to apologize and when she finally did apologize she asked Mama on the way home why she was being screamed at by the white people to apologize, mama told cassie that it was because the whites didn’t see blacks as actual people. (CItation) Why are you telling me this? What does it have to do with your

Before Cassie Bernall became a Christian, she was an outsider at school. Cassie had written letters to a friend about how she could kill her parents, Brad and Misty Bernall, and end all of her problems. Cassie's parents found the letters, made copies of them, and gave them to the police department. When Cassie got home from school, her parents confronted her. After the confrontation, the Bernall's broke all of Cassie's ties with her friends. The Bernall's enrolled Cassie in a Christian school. Cassie was not allowed to answer the phone and no longer had any privileges. She was allowed to go to a youth group, but that was all she could do. Her parents even went as far to put a monitor on their phone so they could know what she was doing when they weren't home. Cassie had lost all of the trust that she earned from her parents. Misty Bernall didn't go back to work so that she could watch over Cassie. Cassie had her backpack searched, her phone calls monitored, and her bedroom searched. Furtively investigating their daughter, they say,

Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to, but it really takes courage to get through it. In the novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry by Mildred D. Taylor, Cassie Logan is a very sassy, outspoken eleven year old girl that, in my opinion, is the most courageous character throughout the novel. Some things that made Cassie courageous was that she stood up for Little Man, her little brother, at Great Faith Elementary School, stood up for her and Stacey, her older brother, at the mercantile, and she had to ‘grow up a little’ and apologize to her rival, Lillian Jean Simms. Cassie truly had to be courageous to get through the hard times.

One main reason I chose to annotate this page is that it gives us a lot of important aspects of Cassie’s character. Not only the dialogue shows this, but Cassie’s own thoughts as well. As she is speaking with Brogden, Cassie states that she “did my best to answer Brogden’s questions without popping him with my free hand”. This shows that even though Cassie is speaking with Brogden hoping to join their camp for the safety of her family and herself, she is resistant and untrusting. Brogden asks them why they’re here (at the camp), and Cassie responds, “you mean at this camp, or are you being existential?”. Brogden is confused, and Cassie continues, saying “if you’d asked me that before all this”...”happened, I’d have said something like, ‘We’re here to serve our fellow man or contribute to society.’ If I wanted to be a”...”I’d say, ‘Because if we weren’t here, we’d be somewhere else.’ But since all this”...”has happened, I’m going to say it’s because we’re just dumb lucky”. This shows that she has a mildly sarcastic and snarky side to her personality. Another very important detail we learn from this statement is that even though it’s the ‘apocalypse’, Cassie seems very unafraid and unintimidated by people and situations that most people would panic in. She possesses the ability to poke fun at even the most stressful of

Where she was told that her heart problem which she had when she was younger might come back , it is a defect in the septum between the heart's two lower or pumping chambers (ventricles). She was told that she grow out of it when she was younger but they were afraid that I would come back . these meant that katheryn had to go in for multiple blood test and x-rays and also had to take five different pills in the morning and night. But katheryn still had to go to school she attended , Oxon hill high school where her older brother Russell Hawkins attended. He was the only person katheryn know all her friend had gone to a different high school . And to make it worse katheryn wasn't even able to start school until the third day n which made it worse because she had to walk in a class of kids just staring at her which made so nerve that she went home and cry that she never wanting to go to that school again but as the months and years at Oxon hill katheryn made friends and learned her way around the school . And at this time katheryn was still seeing her father now every other weekend where she start to let him into her life more . Around the eleventh grade, her father told her that he was going to have to get a heart transplant

The evidence from the text shows that Cassie was very mad at who heart Papa.When Papa was making a recovery from what happened at Vicksburg they were talking about what happened.Then Cassie overheated and said¨I blurted angirly, already plotting revenge against who ever had dare to hurt Papa.213

Cassie Logan is a black, nine year old girl living in rural Mississippi. Throughout her life Cassie displays many different qualities, she can be feisty, sassy, and clever, but most of all she is courageous. This does not just mean she is plucky or tenacious, it means she is “brave and/or fearless” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Whenever she shows this quality, she stands up for herself, as well as others. Being courageous is so important simply because she is a black girl living in 1933. Racism was very common at that time, and standing up for yourself was the only way you would get respect. However, in some incidents described in the book, Cassie changed her life for the better and took one step closer towards a fairer world. There are three

Before reading this book, I did not really know much about it. I decided I wanted to do a biography, so I researched the top biographies. I read that this book is very heart touching, shocking, and raw. I want to learn what this girl has been going through and if we have any of the same problems. I chose this book because it has many positive reviews and by just reading the summary it sucked me in.

Cheryl Cooper is the rebellious one. She has her heart set on doing the complete opposite of things that her parents ask from her. She is very assertive and reckless, but behind it all she is just angry at the world. Cheryl got frustrated when her mother continued to support and lie for her father when he became convicted of fraud. She became fed up and refused to continue lying for her father at the request of her mother. She brings to light the problems and lies that her family is keeping. She does not trust her father anymore and constantly urges the rest of the sibling to cut him off as he keeps forcing them to lie for him. She is prone to acting out and causing a lot of issues at school. But she is very strong headed. She does not understand

The further ‘off the rails’ Cassie goes, the more extreme the sexual situations, at one point ‘courting’ a female and then a few minutes after the female leaves a male arrives. “Sexuality strongly influences people’s identity.” (Op. cit. p.22) And at this point in the series we find that Cassie has a very mixed up idea about who she is and what she wants.

Dear Ms.Yetko, my name is Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie. For fun, i like to draw, play soccer, and look at the sky. I have been drawing since I was a toddler, and I am grateful that I have improved since then. My dad has been playing since he was small in Mexico, and ever since he had me, he has wanted me to play soccer. I tried it out and I found it amusing. The sky has also been one of my favorite things I find remarkable about our world.
