Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s first novel purple Hibiscus reveals the realistic representation of sufferings and sorrows, pains and problems of the female protagonist Kambili and her mother Beatrice in the background of familial relationships. “Purple Hibiscus is to unearth the conformation of male domination in Nigerian society. She explores the shades of female marginalization stemming from patriarchy” (Oauyade 256). The children of Purple Hibiscus, Jaja and Kambili Achike, seek to carve out their own identities. This is also true of Nigeria, “a young country in several striking ways, and the most telling is the age of its people: well over half are less than thirty; an amazing

Sue Monk Kidd has introduced very complex, yet simple characters that can be easily related to by many readers of the novel. Rosaleen has a tough exterior, but truly cares for Lily Owens, as T.Ray Owens is unpleasant, and considered to be abusive toward Lily. Further on, we have Zachary Taylor, a handsome, charismatic football player while working for August in her honey house develops feelings for Lily, as there’s June Boatright with a heart of gold, yet is distrusting in regards to Lily at first. These character are just a few of the many that entail the plot, and make them relatable. Although, like I said Sue Monk Kidd has developed many character that we can relate to, I believe I relate to Lily Owens the most in “The Secret Life of Bees.”

In one of the scenes in the book, Cupcake says that: “I’d quit talking to Daddy and Jr. because all we did was argue: they fussed about how I was f-----g my life, and I wanted to know if they had any money I could borrow. In my mind, unless they had money to give, we had nothing to talk about,” (326). The passage fits into the novel because it exemplifies the narrators sudden change in lifestyle due to the influence of other people in her life. In addition to that, it highlights the current standing of the main character in life – as shown in the quote, she’s addicted to drugs & can’t control her addiction .This shows that people, just like Cupcake, are vulnerable to prejudice.

Instead she stays to help him and not leave him on his own. No matter what he said she will not betray him, “’Ride on!’ I bawled… Again Kit ignored my advice. She argued afterward that there was no help she could hope to fetch, and in those circumstances she wasn’t going to leave me” (Trease 253). This shows how much the two care for each other, and will not abandon each other when situations get rough. Although the pair fights numerous times, in the end they are always there for each other, and never betray each other’s trust. But, this is not the last time loyalty was shown.

A person’s eventual welfare has very little to do with the adversities or difficulties that might bring them down, but is solely dependent on how they choose to handle their misfortunes. As C.S. Lewis said, “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” These words will encourage readers to know that good things are ahead. Often when going through some ill luck, it can be hard to see the benefits of the process, and this quote encourages readers to know that it is not for nothing. To teach kids these values, authors use bibliotherapy (use of books to help children understand with specific situations) and critical literacy (the ability to consider various points of view) in children’s

As soon as I finished Burned, written by Ellen Hopkins, I was reminded of a Miley Cyrus quote I’ve heard in one of her interviews. You might ask how Miley Cyrus and a book about a teenager in a mormon family could possibly be similar, but they fit perfectly. Miley stated, “going out doesn’t make you a bad person, just like going to church doesn’t make you a good person”. Not only does this quote summarize one of the major themes in the book, but it makes the reader question society’s definition of a good or bad person.

There are so many famous movie quotes. "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore", "I see dead people", "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".

This gives us a great view on Nat and how things later affect

Leigh Anne takes Michael to get new clothes due to the fact that he is “big and tall”, You can tell immediately that she is uncomfortable in the projects and straight up asks Michael to protect her. Some may see this scene as racist, but she is a high class white woman in a negative, gang related, and drug related area. You cannot judge her for being scared.

In the beginning when the reader meets Hedda Gabler, one can see how she is quite a high maintenance character by how she complains that the maid has” opened the door. I’m drowning in all this sunlight." (Ibsen 1469). Exerting her power over her husband, George Tesman, she demands him to close the curtains, which he does complacently. Later Hedda notices an old hat lying on the chair and worries that someone may have seen it. When she learns that the hat belongs to Miss Tesman, George's dear aunt, she does not apologize for her comment which shows her tendency to belittle others, even if they are family. Hedda utters to her husband, "But where did she get her manners, flinging her hat around any way she likes here in the
