There are many events in the book that are crucial to the story. The first major event is when Wren, Cath's twin sister, told Cath that she didn't want to be roommates in college. This is important because it is what leads to the story. It means that Cath needs to talk more and socialize with other people besides her sister. The next big event is when Reagan, Cath's roommate, asked Cath if she had an eating disorder. This was the first time they really talked. Cath was eating protein bars every day because she was scared of going to the dining hall. Reagan took Cath to the dining hall. This was the beginning of a strong friendship. Another critical event was when Levi, Reagan's ex-boyfriend and great friend, decided to walk Cath home from the
1. I believe that the most crucial element to the plot in this chapter is the scene in which the characters present are having a party in the apartment.
One conflict in this book is when Mattie has to face herself and try to live alone when grandfather dies, “Now what? Take inventory, Check the pack and powder I was alone; Grandfather died and Mother missing”(156). In this situation Mattie is trying to figure out what to do after her grandpa dies, mother is missing, and how she can survive alone. “A spiteful voice hissed in my head. Shut up, Mattie, the voice said, You’re a silly child. You have no
This poster talks about how we waste our scarce resources. This poster is made of text, images and shapes. the images are the images of the toilet seat and the globe. The shapes are circular and the text is “Waste” and “Water.” Once these elements are integrated we get a clear picture of what the designer is trying to convey through this poster. The message is to create awareness of how people tend to waste resources, especially water. I believe that this poster communicates its message successfully as the message is very clear and bold.
The book, Sophia’s War, is filled with life changing events that helped shape the complicated life of the main character, Sophia. The first event that helped shape the life and character of Sophia in this book is the hanging of Nathan Hale. This was a life changing event because it proved to the 12-year-old girl the brutality and cruelty of the British government and officers. This event also helped recruit Mr. Townsend as a spy for George Washington and the Patriots. Sophia’s War proves this when Avi says, “Later, we learned that the young man’s name was Nathan Hale. Over time, his death proved of greater consequence than his life. Without any doubt, it altered the history of my country as it altered mine...When Hale died, General Washington

Instead of just seeing what Ethan Frome looks like as a result of the incident, he saw how he lives and what his life is like. Having encountered Zeena and Mattie in the home, the narrator got a better idea of how not only Ethan was affected, but also how Zeena and Mattie were, too. He saw how different their life was now compared to the story of their lives from before the incident. Not only did the narrator see, but could also picture how unpleasant their lives are. The Narrator returned to Mrs. Ned Hale, and she told him how he was the first person to enter the Frome household in over twenty years because Ethan was too proud to let anyone see the way he was living.
The Courage to Act memoir is essential reading for people who wants to know what happened at Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Aug. 5, 2008. It invokes comparisons to the Great Depression and at the same time suggests that Shucks, it was not all that great, was not a depression or anything (Bernanke). But Bernanke is persuasive in arguing that it was pretty damned high i.e. terrible and he and his members at the Fed deserve credit for the fact that it wasn 't a heck of a lot greater. Bernanke pulls back the curtain ornament on his endeavors to keep a mass commercial disappointment, working with two U.S. presidents and utilizing each Fed ability, regardless of how arcane, to keep the U.S. economy above water.

One major theme in the book is coming of age. Both Alex and Dean are pushed into situations where they must make life or death decisions on the behalf of a group of children. This forces them to leave behind all of their childish notions of how the world should
In my opinion, a significant character in the novel is Jean Louise "Scout" Finch. Scout is the protagonist and narrator of the story. She is an intelligent young girl and is what our society would refer to as a "tomboy". Scout seems to have a basic faith in the goodness of the people in her community. Considering Scout is the main character in the story, she will have a large contribution to the
The main theme of the book is the ‘character’ of people in that time. How people bonded and rejected one another in a time of such hardship and demoralization. I think every character played a part in the
Primarily, the characters in the book are foils for each other. One example is Lucie Manette and Madame Defarge. Lucie is a very gentle and loving woman. Everything that she does shows her kindness and virtue. Her tenderness and adoration for everyone empowers her to unite the family. For instance, when Lucie 's father was in a horrible state of depression, the only cure for his sadness was the sight of Lucie 's face and the touch of her skin. On the other
'The Story Of Tom Brennan' focuses on grief each family member has and how they express it toward the accident. Kylie wants to talk to her family but can't because nobody want to talk about the accident, so she bottles it all up and tells the whole school about it though a speech about domestic terrorism. Kath, Fin mother has to deal with Fin critical state. Fin is a former athlete on the Mumbili football team, would be restrained to a wheelchair or a bed for the rest of his life. Kath has to do everything for Fin in his condition so she doesn't have time to hide away like Tess does, she has to get on with life and can't let the grief get to her. This theme is important to my generation because you can lose people around and this novel shows how and how not to deal with
One of the vital things in this novel is its setting. The major conflict in the story occurs at the northern west angle of Minnesota. The major characters in the novel, John and Kathy chose this location because of its isolation. This setting helps in shaping the story because that is where Kathy disappears, and the rest of the novel shifts attention to her search. Another important element in the setting of this story is the American political environment. When John enters the race for the Senate seat, the conflict between him and Kathy emerge as it reduces the interaction of the two. In addition, his involvement in politics unearths his involvement with Charlie Company which leads to his dismal failure in politics. As the two continue to relax in the woods, many past events begin to resurface, and
Throughout Thomas More's Utopia, he is able to successfully criticize many of the political, social, and economic ways of the time. His critique of feudalism and capitalism would eventually come back to haunt him, but would remain etched in stone forever. On July 6, 1535, by demand of King Henry VIII, More was beheaded for treason. His last words stood as his ultimate feeling about royalty in the 15th and 16th centuries, "The King's good servant, but God's first." Throughout his life, More spoke his beliefs about feudalism, capitalism, and his ideals of Utopia; More was a thinker, good friend of Erasmus, and although many critics take Utopia as a blueprint for society, in many instances he encourages thought, a critical part of the
