I would describe Alicia from the book Things Not Seen by saying she is kind, independent, and a little sarcastic. In the book, Things Not Seen, on chapter 20, page 175, it states, “…, I go up to the third floor of the library, find Alicia, and in five minutes we’re looking for a cab to take us to the Sears corporate headquarters in Hoffman Estates,”. This quote shows how Alicia is kind and would do mostly anything for Bobby, like help him sneak to Sears cooperate headquarters at night, for Bobby to find out who else had problems with their electric blanket. Also, Alicia is very independent, in the book Things Not Seen, on chapter 17 page 137 it states, “Just because I’m blind doesn’t mean I’m stupid,”. This quote shows how Alicia doesn’t want to be treated differently and that she isn’t a little kid who can’t do anything.

Cheryl Fynn is Maddie’s mother in the book. At the beginning, she can be described as uncaring, depressed, and addicted. For example, “ Still, it’s not like Ma takes care of herself.

In the novel My Antonia, Jim states “to be dissolved into something complete and great.” He also stated “When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.” This means when you are involved in something you are good at and enjoy doing, it will come easy to you.

The message that Ariana Grande is trying to say is that even if you are being bullied, things can be turned around if you be true to yourself. “And all that you have to do, is be true too you.” I think this quote means be yourself because there is only one you on this planet. This relates to the main passage because Ariana is struggling through high-school and is saying if you be true to you, that’s what will make you successful, and that’s exactly what the quote is saying. “Dunk me in the toilets now it’s you that cleans them.”

Love is a powerful word that can be used in the wrong context very easily. Love is part of our lives on a daily basis.

One of the few times in this novel that hands are ever noted as being covered by something is at August’s fathers funeral. Interestingly this quote is placed in the beginning of the novel at present day in the narrator's perspective when she and her brother are attending their fathers funeral later in life. Fascinating it is for the author to include that August hand was “In the silver light of morning, my brother reached for and found my gloved hand” (pg 4) The language in this quote emphasizes the importance due to phrases like reached out and found her hand. I chose to draw attention to this line because closely reading and analyzing this novel you see almost no other instances of characters searching for a hand to grab, whether this be August or her friends Gigi, Sylvia or Angela their hands
