Sometimes people deceive their friends solely because they are afraid of rejection, but they don't understand the consequences until it is too late. This situation can be found in the book, Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee. In the book, Millicent Min, a child genius, finds a friend in volleyball while being forced to tutor Stanford, her biggest rival, in the summer. However, her friend, Emily, develops a crush on Stanford, and Millicent lies about her being a genius, which would vandalize their friendship. Despite the inquisitive decisions the characters made, there are a few things that I found confusing in the book.

The Holocaust had a huge impact on Anne and her family. Anne house was taken by the soldiers of the Holocaust. Anne and her family had to hide in the back of a store where her father worked.

Sarah Lund is not presented as a (stereotypical) woman in regards to defined femininity. Her clothing is plain, she does not seem to pay any attention to make-up – neither would she probably find the time for it – her hair is carelessly pulled back, and she does not portray any empathy or identification towards her victims or suspects. Ien Ang discussed this renewed representation of women on television and noted that being a woman can now mean the “adaptation of many different identities, composed of a whole range of subject positions, not predetermined by immovable definitions of femininity” (2008, pp. 242-243). The Scandinavian female investigators have a nature of the lone classic film noire detective, like discussed in chapter 1, and the

In Kate the Great by Meg Cabot, Jenny learns that you can’t let your friends control you.

The introduction of Mrs. Auld in chapter six of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is one that hold a lot of importance not only to Douglass but to the reader as well. Douglass portrays her in a way that allows her to be human. The reader is allowed to not only see the change in her but to experience it. The rhetoric surrounding her even changes as she does. At first, Douglass uses emphasis when she is first introduced, this is done by stating the same idea about the character in various places within the first paragraph. As her character changes, Douglass uses juxtaposition to switch his rhetoric to turn Mrs. Auld to stand for a bigger concept rather than just a human. Douglass in a literary sense holds the reader’s hand by explaining Mrs. Auld’s change step by step of what Mrs. Auld was, what she became, and what happened in between to cause it. Douglass uses the presence of Mrs. Auld to demonstrate the dehumanizing effect that power has on the nature of a human.

Sometimes over the course of friendships things in there can change in any kind of way. Throughout the story, Jenny and Kate’s friendship has been changing every time that they are with each other. Jenny states that “every time Kate saw me lately she called me a baby” (Cabot, 33). And she was also told that “sometimes people just grow apart…” (Cabot, 38). Hearing these two statements both Kate and Jenny have just now started to think differently of their friendship. Jenny is starting to believe that ever since Kate have gotten into high school they have started to not talk to each other as much as they did back then. And just

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

“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.

A first example will be how Joy and Dee are both highly educated women which causes a great division for them with their families whom are uneducated in comparison. Each one creates conflict with their mother which they view as inferior and mock them, oblivious to how family is so important
