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

The novel that I chose was Spoiled by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. The main characters include Molly, Brooke, and Brick Berlin. This book is about a sixteen year old girl named Molly Dix, who, after the death of her mother, moves to Los Angeles, California to live with her biological father, Hollywood movie star, Brick Berlin and her half-sister Brooke. Molly isn’t used to living the life of a rich girl, so when she arrives, she is both excited and terrified; not only that, she’s meeting her dad for the very first time. Brooke welcomes Molly to high fashion and fame with an overwhelming dose of “sisterly love”. But in this town, no one is ever what they seem. I think that Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan built the story in a way that would

shown to like Jeremy to a certain extent for who he is and not just

An additional theme heavily shown throughout the book is “people are defined by the choices they make”. Ben left his little sister, Sissy, to die, even though he could have made an effort to save her; because he left her, he now vows not to run from danger or those things which scare him. Furthermore, Cassie promises Sammy that she will find him and, because she makes that promise, she will stop at nothing to be with him again.

One of my favorite characters was Calvin because he is an athlete like me and because he doesn't really care about himself so he's not so self centered he also lives with a big family. I also think that it's that he was cool that's he want to help Meg

dilemma of killing her mother. Something that makes me relate with her is that she is

My favorite character in the book is Anya. Anya is one of Chana’s younger sisters. I like Anya because despite her young age she stays calm and positive about her family being threatened by the Nazi’s. As Anya gets older she tries to help her family in any and every way she can.

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

Near the end of the book Cassie bumps into Jeremy Simms sister and her dad comes and pushes Cassie off the sidewalk.“It was then that I bumped into Lillian Jean Simms… Mr. Simms glared down at me “When my gal Lillian Jean says for you to get yo’self off the sidewalk, you get, your hear.” This shows her losing innocence because she now sees how terrible white people are to push a 9 year old girl off the sidewalk because someone bumped into her. Lillian and her dad are very racist so now she knows not to mess with her and not to talk back.

Cassie Logan showed bravery by standing up for her brother, Little man in the classroom. Cassie has so much courage that she stands up for little man to her teacher. On page 26 Cassie states “See, Miz Crocker, see what it says. They give us these ole books when they don’t want ‘em no more.” This quote shows Cassie standing up for little man by showing her what little man was talking about. I like how in the book she stands up for her brother even though she gets in trouble.

Cassieś actions proved that she is a outspoken girl that won´t give up in what she believes in.Also she shows growth throughout the store in her actions.She shows the most emotion for the land through her actions.

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

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.
