Differences Between Jenny And Libby

Libby Jackson only wants one thing: the fairytale. She’s got her prince all picked out. There’s only one glitch. Grant Mitchell is the brother of her dead fiancé. A sticky situation, at best.

EVALUATION: One of the main themes that sticks out to me is the theme of gender stereotypes. Janie Crawford goes through the entire story experiencing plenty of enforced gender roles and is treated as less than her worth because of her gender. Joe treats Janie as an object, he beats

Jennifer is on the Princeton Tiger Lilies ice hockey team. She is one of the best players on the team, and she plays strictly to the rules. Stephanie is a referee for ice hockey and officiating today’s game. Stephanie and Jennifer are sisters, Jennifer is younger than Stephanie. The job of the referee is to keep the game safe and fair. This game is the last game in the State Finals. The Princeton Tiger Lilies are playing against the Lady Islanders, a very aggressive team. The game is tied 2-2, in the third period, and there has yet to be a penalty. A girl from the other team is skating as hard as she can to catch up to Jennifer who is on breakaway, and about to score. The girl trips Jennifer, who falls forward down onto the ice.

One of the things about the book that I personally liked was the characters, some of them were easy to relate to, even if you couldn't you could relate someone you knew with them. For example, David is not one of the main characters from the story but the more you learn about him, the more you realize how ambitious he is, wanted to change his career path almost every week, standing up to Mr. Neck. I think he's one of the things that helped Melinda find her voice.

I thought that the characters were very involved and interesting, they made me want to keep reading for example in the text when Earl and Greg talk on the phone it’s funny. The plot wasn’t as interesting and it was pretty confusing, like the text kept changing. There were many themes in this book and they all stood out. The story through Greg’s point of view was fine until he was explaining stuff, I got confused when

Lastly, Cormier’s narration style is what keeps the story on a hook. He gives different perspectives from different characters every other chapter. At the beginning of the novel, Cormier has Ben telling his story. It stops when it gets to the next chapter and switches gears to the hijacking of the bus and perspective of Kate, the bus driver. Each chapter goes back and forth from characters which is an interesting narrative style that keeps

I found the story and writing style interesting and compelling. I was concerned for Rainsford and was glad he outsmarted Zaroff.

To me, what made this book most fantastic was simply the author’s choice of words and how she was able to reveal so much through about a character’s emotions while never simply stating them. So much power comes in an author’s ability to truly make you feel everything the character does, as this keeps the reader engaged in the story and always want to know more. One of my favorite examples of how Egan does this in A Visit from the Goon Squad is during chapter eight when you learn the story of La Doll, or Dolly, as she rebranded herself to escape the shame of her past mistakes. Her daughter Lulu, a young girl who has grown up with no one but her mother, tagged along on one of Coco's risky business trips to take Kitty Jackson, a washed up actress, to her new fake boyfriend, General B. "Twenty checkpoints presaged their arrival at the general's compound. At each, two soldiers with submachine guns peered into the black Mercedes, where Dolly and Lola and Kitty sat in the backseat. Four times, they were forced outside into the scouring sunshine and patted down at gunpoint. Each time, Dolly scrutinized her daughter's studied

The blackmail storyline was really interesting: Simon isn’t ready to come out quite yet but he also doesn’t look at it as such a big deal. BUT when he gets blackmailed by a opportunistic classmate who threatens to expose it that definitely concerns him because he knows what he and Blue has is fragile and it could mess that up. I liked watching him wrestle with it all — not wanting to give in because it’s HIS thing to tell, not wanting to betray a friend who this classmate wants to get closer to and wanting to preserve what he and Blue have. I think the particular classmate who does the blackmailing is interesting himself — you just want to punch him for being a shithead but also you see him as a

     The movie was surprisingly good, as it was well scripted and directed. I particularly enjoyed the scenery as well as the choice of actors. The beginning of the movie was drastically different from that in the book with Will being cast as a war captive in another country. Also different in the movie is the fact that in the beginning scenes Will finds out that his mother passed, and doesn’t make it to Medicine River in time for her funeral. With all of the alterations that were made in the script, I found it an interesting and nice addition when Harlen persuaded Will to hire ex-convict Clyde Whiteman as an assistant in his photography studio. The only change which I was not particularly fond of was the addition of Will’s boss Ellen. Particularly, her persistence to continue in their affair, despite Will’s disinterest. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. However, I was thrown off guard by the order in which

I was smiling ear to ear, I loved that it was slow burning and it started off as a friendship – which I think is fantastic because of the age of the protagonist. The way that both Sam and Camilla were there for each other was refreshing and even without knowing they helped each other out. I adored that they were awaked with each other, the little smiles, that they both had feelings, yet kept it all hidden – it was a great representation of a first love between two young teens. I loved seeing Sam’s relationship with his friends and how they are different from each other, but together they all work.

It’s easy to root for them. Eventually the goal becomes clear and the stakes are fairly high. There are nice setups and payoffs (the sarsaparilla, snow machine, and the Princess Sweetbird etc.) While the script presents with some really fun moments, such as Ginny teaching Olivia the rules of surviving and how to be an undercover detective, the script would also benefit from more development, especially in the area of structure and pace.

What are you noticing about the plot, characters,

Beginning with the structure and pace. The script opens in 1905 in Jessica’s world. It introduces her as a showgirl. The world feels authentic. However, the opening with Jessica feels much too long. Too much time is spent with Jessica and her encounter with JP Morgan, as well as the Spencers. She dominates the entire first ten pages. We do not get to the main protagonist Glenn until a bit later. His introduction feels rather flat for the hero. He’s a poet, but the audience doesn’t know much about his character.

One minor critique I had is when the story line would jump around following different characters. Especially at the beginning of the story, it could be confusing on which characters perspective it was. There was always excitement throughout the book mainly during the kidnapping of Mr. Griffin. The climax of when Mark attempted murder on Sue really kept the book alive. This book displayed human nature at best where humans would do the worst to save their skins. For instance, it was implied that Mark killed his best friends Grandma so he could have potential evidence that could lead back to them. Lois Duncan also did a great job on rounding the characters smoothly. At first, I couldn't depict on who Dave was/ what he was like, to being able to give a bibliography about him in a mere one pages. One part of the book I liked was the ending. It left off with a feeling of displeasure because you get a whole new perspective of the characters, and you don’t know who to feel sorry for and who to like. Sue abandoned her innocent side after the arsenal attack on her, when she got back this sincere note from
