Cassie's Attitude Towards Ivane Character Analysis

Sophie Biyoya Ciardulli is the main character in the book, “Endangered”, by Eliot Schrefer. She is the daughter of Florence Biyoya, who is Congolese, and an Italian-American dad. Her mother had always thought of protecting bonobos as her top duty in life, so it was no surprise when she chose staying in Congo to develop her bonobo sanctuary rather than returning to the U.S. with her husband and daughter, after Sophie’s dad is transferred to Miami, Florida by his company for a job. Sophie attends school in America, but spends summers with her mother. Sophie had always been angry and hurt by the fact that her mother was the reason her parents divorced, but when she meets Otto, she transitions slowly in opinion and grows in acceptance of her mother’s

This quote also indicates why she didn't kill Evan Walker when her survival rule is to trust no one. Physically Cassie is at her best she is the most physically acme of her body though she still has the bullet hole where she was shot but she also is more confident at shooting and many other things due to her time spent with Evan Walker. She is much more emotionally sound she has come to terms with Evan being an alien. She and Evan make it to the complex and rescue Sammy and

T.J. Avery was a rotten thirteen-year old who only wanted attention and would do almost anything to get it. He cheated her brother out of a coat and even made Mama lose her job. From the start of the book you can see that Cassie doesn’t like T.J., but as she grows and matures, you can see her start to care for him. T.J. showed up badly injured one night at the Logan house and Cassie risked her life to get him home and ensure that at least for that night that T.J. would be safe. He had been around two people that committed a crime and if he wasn’t kept safe, he would’ve been hung. T.J. was never really kind to Cassie, but the way she got him home shows that T.J. really was a part of Cassie’s life and that she wanted him to be, therefore making her gamble her life as well as her siblings’ lives to protect him. Cassie got him home safely and made sure to keep her siblings quiet and out of harm’s way so that even if T.J. was not guaranteed safe, she made sure that anyone she was liable for, she kept safe. Even after the incident, Cassie went home and just processed everything, and for her age, she reacted well. She knew how to get her information and how to proceed with it as to keep her composure and to not let it overwhelm

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

To begin with, Cassie always thinks about Sammy’s safety before her own. Throughout the book, Cassie was dedicated to keeping her brother safe until the point where the siblings were separated. Once Sam is taken away from Cassie, her original mission is

“I have learned that something happens when one makes herself available to God: He starts moving in ways no one could imagine” (Davis 43). Such was the case for Katie Davis in her heart-warming novel, Kisses From Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption, co-written by Beth Clark. Katie’s nonfiction memoir speaks passionately about her move to Uganda: here she strengthened her relationship with Jesus, adopted thirteen little Ugandan girls, started a nonprofit ministry, and so much more. Katie’s unique journey teaches about sacrifice for the Lord our God and about following Him wholeheartedly with reckless abandonment. Consequently, Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis is a hopeful story that teaches readers about God’s love for us, and

To continue, he gave away a piece of himself that many would say: he wouldn’t get back, because tomorrow is never a certainty, and that’s especially true for them now. But a 5-year-old, a little 5-year-old, gave away a piece of himself, for someone that was the bigger piece of himself. Most kids, would never surrender their childhood, because they want to hold on, but as long as Sammy had the promise by Cassie herself; he had hope, and because of that: he wouldn’t let himself believe the world was going to fall, at least not yet, ”How old is Cassie? ' Cassie’s sixteen. They’re going back to get her,' '

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.

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

Also, aunt Cassie can relate to that understanding. She even says something along those lines in the novel. ““Just be careful what you give away,” says auntie Cassie. “There are some things you want to keep.””(King p. 259). Even though in this quote she is talking about the giveaway, it is very clear that there is a deeper meaning behind her statement. In her past, or as aunt Cassie says, ““Another life,” she says. “Another time.”” (King p.259), Mia had a huge influence on her. Although it was never stated in the book Mia is her daughter who she had given up for her own personal reasons. Even though Thomas King never revealed the details of that situation, it had a huge affect on aunt Cassie. For example, in the quote where she is warning to watch what you give up, it tells you she has regrets over something she has given up. Aunt Cassie most likely gave up Mia for adoption and has not been able to fully let go. Even though she tries to forget, this event will forever have an affect on her identity because she gave up a part of herself. This explains why she would send Tecumseh random presents for girls; she would do it subconsciously when reminded of Mia on her

The novel revolves around two women, Mariam and Laila. The novel takes place during a terrible time to live in Afghanistan, but things were especially hard for women. Their lives brought together and are forced to live through unimaginable situations. At first, they didn’t get along, but then a beautiful friendship began. Their friendship would eventually be their salvation. They both experienced incredible character development. Mariam and Laila’s childhoods were very different, which is explains their characteristics in the novel. Laila’s modern upbringing gave her courage, which inspired Mariam to take action in both of their lives.

Little does Cassie know, there is one person who is willing to risk his life to help her save her brother, Evan Walker.

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 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.

I think that Margot from “All Summer in a Day” is knowledgeable because she knows a lot about the sun. “They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall.” Margot was knew at her school and she remembered the sun when the other kids could not and margot could explain what the sun looked like to them and some of the kids didn't believe her, this makes her knowledgeable because she knows how the kids will most likely react to the sun. “She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands.” Margot knew that the kids tried to remember the sun and she also knew that they thought that they remembered but margot knew they didn't because of the way they described it. “They surged about her, caught her up and bore her, protesting, and
