Kate Je Character Sketch

Kate makes a fantasy world about her life for Jenny to believe in her perspective. Kate and Jenny have always been best friends ever since the two were young. The both of them would always hang out with each other have sleepovers, go to the pool together, the library, and went everywhere else together. They were “inseparable” as the author said. Although, throughout all of their adventures Kate has been telling Jenny about her experience in high school. Keep in mind that Kate is older by a couple of years than Jenny, therefore, Kate has an influence on what to teach Jenny when she gets into high school. For example, a Jenny had a memory of Kate had told

A woman, named Dellena, was involved in sex trafficking business. She made a documentary titled, “Human Trafficking Survivor Story: Dellena, California,” where she shares her experience as a victim. As a little girl, her mother was very negative and always put her down. Her parents were divorced when Dellena was just a child. Not before long her mother remarried. Dellena’s new stepfather molested her and her sister at the age of seven. Soon after her parents remarried, she was put in the foster care system for five years and her mother never once came to see her. One day her mother showed up and told Dellena she was going home. Dellena said, “The reason my mother wanted me home was because my stepfather wanted me home because he liked twelve-year-old girls. That was the perfect age for him” (“Human Trafficking Survivor Story: Dellena, California”). After being molested again, she ran away from her home. On the streets she met a 21-year old, who took her

Kate is also very tough and modest like most men, who are raised and taught to hide their emotions in public. However deep inside Kate is still a female. In the second investigation which Kate had with Ellen, Kate does end up allowing herself to break down with tears in the midst of her conversation about her dead lover Anne. Here, Forrest shows that even though some women are masculine, they are limited to an extent because they are in custody to the biological determinism which determines the limits for the advancing of success based on sex (Rubin Thinking Sex). It is important that Forrest was able to show both sides of Kate: the tough masculine side and the soft elegant feminine side.

Firstly, Kate is noticeably affected almost immediately after the death of her mother and father. We see this by her descriptive quotes about how she was feeling and the observations she made about others in her life. Some instances include “I remember being rigid with fear, not daring to look at him” (19), “it was like being at the bottom of the sea” (53), and “...there was a whirlwind howling through me” (54). These quotes represent how Kate felt overwhelmed by unmanageable emotions; she felt almost numb and empty. She even ends up cutting her finger just to feel something and it hardly hurt at all. This is a confused, traumatized little girl. Next, Kate is affected by the basic principles her parents taught. The simple memory of her parents provoked thought of the Presbyterian Commandments they would follow. These principles shape who she is and represent a background where people do not talk about problems or share emotions. “No, you swallow your feelings, force them down inside yourself, where they feed and grow and swell and expand until you explode, unforgivably, to the utter bewilderment of whomever it was who upset you” (36). Lastly, the trauma she has endured has made her scared. Scared of sharing feelings, scared of commitment, scared of loving someone. Daniel, Kate’s boyfriend, feels he is in the dark when it comes to Kate’s past and her emotions. This is because Kate is simply scared to love him. She proves this and it’s connection to her past by saying, “people I love and need have a habit of disappearing from my life” (89). The death of her parents has definitely shaped who she is but some may say, it helped her show resilience and strength to embrace her past and move

Until Cass ran away and her parents had to fill the gap with having their daughter Caitlin fill in the gaps. Caitlin struggles with feeling alone and in this fragile state of mind she let a boy take advantage of her and wear her down until she finally broke. Rogerson, the male interest, is a very troubled person. His abusive behaviour comes from his father we learn that at the beginning of the book, he didn't start hitting caitlin until the one time she was late. Caitlin is the most important to this story because it shows how a character can build themselves back up from this low that they let themselves fall to. The whole story is based around her and her life, and the lessons we do take from this book we take from her and her experiences.

Author, Alisa Jordheim exposes the growing problem of child exploitation in the United States. This book includes a series of personal narratives. Five (5) adults, who were taken captive as young children and exploited in the commercial sex industry, tell their individual stories and how they survived. This is an honest and accurate portrayal of a horrific and shocking industry prevalent in our modern society. Children, in particular, are an easy prey for human traffickers.

Kates cruelty was psychological. Kate, while on the brink of death would lie and use her body to manipulate to try and get what she wanted. On page 170 Kate decides her only way to live is to make Miro love her. On the bottom paragraph she says, “...but to have him regard her as a human being again, someone whose life was precious...so that he might just hesitate.” She liese to him about being interested in him. Kate is just like Artkin in that she tries to manipulate to get what she wants.

Kate is a young, genial, American teenager who is stuck driving her uncle’s bus for the day. The bus gets hijacked by four terrorists, and Kate is suddenly responsible for the lives of sixteen children. Cormier writes, “Miro yelled: “Stay in the seat, miss.” But she ignored his words and began pounding

Numerous women are incarcerated into prisons daily because of sex trafficking. It is crucial to understand this issue from the perspective of the survivors not only from the media because this will give viewers a well-rounded understanding. Through the scope of the course, we are considering other factors which contribute to the reasons behind those who end up being trafficked. I will discuss how the prison system influences how these women are seen in the main stream media. I will argue how this is not the correct way to deal with these women who are being incarcerated for sex trafficking. The documentary I watched is titled Selling the Girl Next Door by CNN’s Amber Lyon. It was a documentary on how sex trafficking are portrayed especially in relations to the prison system.

As a woman, she does not change herself just to satisfy all those people around her who want her to change; she stays true to herself. She rejects the idea of being a typical woman because no one explains to her why she is to act in such a way. Kate is different than her sister. Bianca is the type of woman who is sweet and obedient to her father. She is soft-spoken, unassuming, and perfect. The men consider Bianca as a normal role model.

Travelers would only come around every so often, but Kate would end up attracting the attention from many outsiders. She was an attractive and outgoing 23 years old lady, practicing in the art of spiritualistic shows. She would often perform séances and do demonstrations of her ‘healing’ powers and psychic medium abilities. She was very well spoken and attracted many people to their little cottage for private readings, where people were never seen again. This would give these killer family members more victims to prey on.

Kate lived in Boston, Massachusetts, she went to school at Boston University, Kate and Katherine met in dorms and were close ever since. So back in the 1960’s there wasn’t fair treatment for women, many women didn’t like that so some went on protest and more. Kate and Katherine had a different plan, they were planning on having Katherine run the Boston Marathon.

A scene that I think is very meaningful is when Kate describes Mrs. Mallard in at her window. For example, “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.” I feel like this quote describes that she is now free to live without her husband. It symbolizes freedom that she has been wanting as you can tell later on in the

As the play continues, we learn even more about Kate. For example, when Kate and Petruchio go back to Baptista’s, Kate begins to see how Petruchio operates. She learns that if she does what Petruchio says, even if she knows it is not true, she will get something she wants out of it, like going back to her father’s house. Petruchio test Kate when they meet the real Vincentio on the road and he asks Kate if she has ever seen a finer young women. Knowing what he is up to, Kate shows her amazing wit and decides to play his game. She has figured out that Petruchio has a method to his madness and if she plays her cards right, their relationship can be a partnership with a series of actions and rewards.

In the process of trying to find Kim, the retired CIA agent is also faced with the shocking realities of the sex trafficking market. This movie illustrates how young girls are especially vulnerable to kidnapping and sex trafficking and how important a parent or loved one’s resilience is to help these victims.
