Examples Of Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes

In the novel "Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes", I think that the character Mark Brittain displays a "false face". During CAT class one of the discussion topics is abortion and during the discussion Mark kept saying how women who have abortions will pay for it in the Afterlife. Mark has a strong belief in chrisiananity and God. After class that day Jody, Eric's crush and Mark's current girlfriend, asked Eric if they could talk after school. When Jody and Eric were talking she told him that she had had an abortion and that the father was Mark. Jody then told Eric that Mark told her to get the abortion and that it was he fault.

Recently in class we watched a film my girl(1991) after we had read the book a small free kiss in the dark. Both books had examples of hardship and courage which is the unit we have been working on in class. Although the book had things that were the same in the movie, there were events that were slightly different, but both characters went through hardship or displayed courage in the same way. Courage being- strength in the face of pain or grief.

In the book "Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes" more than just one character figured out how to stand up for them selves, but I think that Sarah Byrnes was the character that stood up for herself the most. Sarah Byrnes had to go through alot in her life, like being burned by her dad, her mom leavung her and being called "Scar face" all the time. All of the tough times in her life made her start to think that if she stayed tough no one would mess with her and that she would not let things get to her. Sarah Byrnes had to stand up for her self alot in the book, she stood up for her self in CAT class when Brittian sayed that his and Sarah's life are both equal, also when she found her mom in Reno and had to tell her mom that she was a lier and that

In the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there are many instances and events where characters show great amounts of courage. In the novel, courage is shown in many ways: people facing hardships of the depression, standing tall against oppression and reprimandation, and facing their own fears and demons. Some characters show more courage than others, but in the story overall many characters have their own examples of how courage can be shown in small ways.

The first example that is when scout goes and helps face down the mob. When Atticus is outside protecting Tom there is a big mob that shows up that is going to try and execute tom because of supposedly raping a white woman. Scout shows up and even though she is a little girl she isn’t scared and she protects Tom. Who knows what could have happened to her but she wasn’t scared. Next, Miss Dubose shows courage when she is facing her morphine addiction. It is very tough to get away from an addiction and Miss Dubose works very hard at it.

In the book "Staying Fat for Sarah Brynes", Eric was teased and laughed at because of his weight. People would commonly ask "what went wrong" with an overweight person. I think people say that because most of the time different sitiuations can lead to different reasons for being overwieght. Depression and anxiety can have a huge impact on confidence, which could lead to a person "giving up" about how they look. Bullying can also can cause the idea that someone has to smake, drink, or eat away the mean comments. When people ask "what went wrong" they can jump to conclusions that it's a pareent issue, depression issue, or a school issue, without taking in consideatoin that it may be just a genetic issue, that they can't control. I think that

Hope was here and Staying fat for Sarah Byrnes are both very different books. With their compelling plots and twists and turns on every page, these books are bound to be different from each other. When you first start to read the two books you wouldn’t think for one second they had anything in common, or at least that’s how I felt. Nevertheless I kept reading hoping I could find a similarity between the two. It wasn’t easy, but as soon as a I read that last chapter of Staying fat for Sarah Byrnes I found harmony in both books that at first seemed so different but yet so alike in the end.

In Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes, Eric is judged by many because of his weight. Eric explains that, "they," as in people around him, "usually conclude that Mom spoiled me; gave me everything I wanted because I had no pappy." In life, people see what they want to see, and automatically decide that a person is overweight because they eat too much, or don't exercise. That may be the case for some, but other overweight and obese people may have problems such as a slow metabolism or they eat to deal with personal issues. I think that people ask what went wrong when they see an overweight person because they know that everyone has problems in life, and they think that anyone obese has eating issues. For the most part, parents have control over what

An amazing example of good storytelling that has several instances of courage is the movie Stand by Me directed by Rob Reiner. In the movie our main characters Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern. All of the boys come from troubled homes. Gordie’s parents, still grieving the death of their older son, neglect Gordie. Chris’s parents are alcoholics and criminals.

The theme of the novel Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes is not judging a book by its cover. Sarah Byrnes is ugly. When people look at her they cringe or turn away. Her ugly repels people from finding out what is under her damaged, scarred skin - all people except for Eric Calhoune. Eric finds out that she is funny, brave, smart, witty, talented, loyal and they become best friends because of her inner qualities. If Eric would have turned at the sight of her, he would not have made any of the wonderful memories he did with Sarah. Okay, that’s an obvious one. Mark Brittain is a stuck up, rude, cocky, ignorant, stubborn person who is completely full of himself and his ‘perfect,’ and ‘godly,’ life… but it his life that at all? Mark Brittain impregnated

We have all seen it in movies, the big muscle guy in a cape swopes down, and saves the day. May of us might think “wow he is so brave.” When talking about courage most people associate it with physical features. However, courage is defined, as an act of braver in a frightening situation. In the book, Beautiful Souls by Eyal Press, he shows that there is more to courage, than just physical features. The book shows how people test their limits. By risking their own lives to save those around them. All while disobeying stick laws that could lead to death.

In the novel "Staying Fat For Sarah Brynes" a question arises of whether it is better to know things or leave them unknown. To me personally sometimes not knowing things is better for me. Once I get something unpleasant on my mind it is really hard for me to get it out and focus on other things. Some things that are a little more minor like what time softball practice is or if there is friend drama is ok for me to hear. But if I can know information that might help or save somebody I would like to know immediately. If I were in Eric's shoes I would like to know the truth about Sarah. If she wouldn't have told Eric about her dad she could have had some major issues down the road. Depending on the situation not knowing and knowing are both ok.

Courage can lead to change in individuals. That person could do something differently after courage changes them in a way. This happens in two books called “The Giver” and “Treasure Island.”

There are a multitude of examples that pertain to a specific type of courage. They are all different with one consistency, without fear they would cease to exist.

Social, physical, and emotional courage are displayed throughout the book. Courage is an undeviating theme throughout To Kill a Mocking Bird. Harper Lee’s book demonstrates courage in several different forms, the characters are found to corroborate these attributes throughout the novel.
