Creative Writing: Stella Archer Chapter 14

Those three words reflect her self-image as much as how she sees Bert and Eddie in that moment. Walking with a pronounced limp, Sarah lives with the idea of "crippled" and "twisted" every day, but she also sees herself as a drunk and as, basically, a prostitute, telling Eddie at one point that she owes her livelihood to the last "rich man" she dated. She also sees herself as a writer who

The story of Sarah touched the lives of many characters in the book “Sarah’s Key” by Tatiana De Rosnay. Sarah had such a profound impact on every character in the book, whether it is the scarring and unforgettable memories they have of her or new information they have gathered from the past. Julia invested her entire life into finding out more about Sarah, her life, and what happened to her after a daring escape from a concentration camp. She sacrificed her marriage and many personal relationships because she cared so deeply and passionately about Sarah and what had happened to her. Julia blocked out all of the negative opinions and people telling her to stop and worked nonstop to learn the truth, to never close her eyes on the past. The brutal past of Sarah left a

She has just lost her mother and her father is at war or possibility dead, which is taking a huge toll on her. All these things hit Saranell at time moment in time, causing her to believe she is alone in this dreadful world. This tragedy causes her to doubt herself and her purpose. Her will to go on and fight is challenged, but she was able to overcome with the help of Renny, the family slave. “She put her fingers over her quivering mouth to control the laugh as Renny swooped and caught the piece of cornbread.

As the book went on Sarah was forced to face the harsh reality and she witnessed thing some people never see in their lives; “she saw a dead baby , gray and waxen, like a shrunken doll, promptly hidden behind a dirty sheet”(45). Sarah was forced to grow up even if she didn’t want to. She was instantly changed as soon as she stepped foot in Vel’ d’Hiv; “From where the girl sat, she could see the dislocated body of the woman , the bloody skull of the child, sliced open like a ripe

As the book continued, Sarah realized that she may never go back home, and now her brother was alone locked in a cupboard. When she escaped her camp, she stumbled across the Dufaure’s, a nice

Sarah ran away to Sacred Heart mental facility where she feels the safest, in her household she only lived with her dad who was a abuser. Running away from home was a huge risk for her and it must have took a lot of courage to go to the hospital with the possibility that he could find her. An example states, "...

Everyday at school Sarah has to walk around with burn scars on her face. Also knowing that people call her the ugliest girl in school would bring anyone down. But for her it's another way to stay strong and keep her secrets. Thought the book Sarah experiences a lot of stuff with her scars. We learn that the scars were actually the abuse of her father, slamming her face a wood burning stove.

This reflects to Angelou’s quote as Sarah uses her experience to be better. To begin, after losing her mother she realizes that she is the only hope in saving her brother, which makes her more determined to get her brother. Sarah is alone as her mother is not protecting her anymore, as the author proposes, “that woman had little by little disappeared. She has become gaunt, and pale, and never smiled or laughed…. The girl felt like her mother was already dead” (66). Sarah feels that her mother is no longer in existence, she is physically there but mentally she is not, therefore Sarah is the only hope to save his brother. From this event, Sarah gains determination to save her brother for her mother, to get a chance to bring back the happy times she once had. In addition, Sarah also promises her brother that she will come back for him. According to the plot, Sarah says to her brother, “I'll come back for you later. I promise” (9). This promise drives Sarah to go back for her brother, as she it her determined not to brake it. In addition, the way she is treated by the police makes her determined to stand up to them and not show fear. This is proven when the author

struck with notice of the pain Sarah was going through and it improved Sarah's life.

She’s internally sorrow because of numerous reasons, like the death of her beloved mother, losing her hip, and not being able to live with her father. She’s also very angry at the Garvey’s for bullying her and treating her like trash. They don’t care about her at all, choosing to adopt her only for the money they received and to use her like the help. One thing I found unrealistic about Sarah was how she wasn’t terrified or at least afraid of what was happening around her. She hardly ever cried, panicked, or had emotional speeches, and she took into stride what was happening around her.

Innocence first proclaims itself when Sarah discovers that she is not returning home. Sarah’s behaviour and lack of understanding towards pressing information is a portrayal of how she has been raised to be quite naïve. These preceding traits are revealed when Sarah explains to her brother, “I’ll come back for you later. I promise.” (9). Here, Sarah proves her innocent nature as a result of being raised by her parents in an exceedingly structured way. Guilt emanates into Sarah’s moral conscience when her father confesses that “we are not going back. They won’t let us back.” (23). Furthermore, Sarah’s sheltered upbringing is proved to be true when she smiles at a boy during the roundup and he looks back at her like she’s crazy. She then thinks to herself, “Maybe [I] had got it all wrong. / … Maybe things were not going to

Throughout the first act of the film, just by being introduced to Sarah 's family the audience can see that Sarah is a stubborn and selfish character. However, as Sarah is first implied as being elaborate and mean we also see Sarah 's considerate side come out as she begs the Goblin King to give Toby back to her.

“I see that the sun is lonely. He has left our people to hopelessly search for a bride in the sky.” Ona divined.
