Kristy Cummings Character Analysis

In the short story “Choices” by Susan Kerslake and in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, are two examples of literature which are similar to my experience.

The Junie B. Jones series has become extremely popular over the years. There are many people that love the stories because of how witty Junie B. is. It is also true that a large number of children can connect with her since Barbra Park created the series with Junie B. speaking in first person as the narrator. However, there are a lot of concerns with the amount of disrespect seen by Junie. Additionally, there could be an educational confusion for children who are trying to learn to read and pronounce words correctly. The Junie B. Jones series basically glorifies being bad, not listening to adults and using language that a five or six year old should not be using. The ruthless actions and improper usage of communication by Junie B. in the Junie B. Jones series can be very confusing and misleading for the young children that are expected to read these books.

she ends one journey and starts another. Judging from the tittle, my first thought of

Dunstan Ramsey comes of age as he moves from childhood into his teen years. At the age of sixteen, the small landscape of Deptford becomes too much for Dunstan to handle so he decides to drop out of high school and join the Army. It is evident that Dunstan needs a change in his life and something to get his mind of the impact that Mrs. Dempster had on Dunstan childhood. Leading up to leaving for the War Dunstan never really saw much of Mrs. Dempster because every time he saw her he could not hold back his guilt and remorse, which continues to trouble him in his teen years. Like many other young men, Dunstan is thrown into the chaos of the war, converted by the front lines and beginner to rifles and survive. Thus, this affects him in many ways,

“She's a mountain of trouble that Hollis Woods.” page 12. Hollis Woods, a twelve year old orphan who was abandoned as a baby, she spends her life being sent to various foster homes. The time she spends with Josie Cahill and the summer she spent with her almost family alternates periodically to communicate her life story. The Reagan’s, who wanted to adopt her before she ran away after an incident, are a family of 3 including Izzy, the Old Man, and Steven. Josie, a retired teacher, bonds with Hollis over art, but as time goes by, her alzheimer's increasingly gets worse. Themes can be found such as trust, family, and hope in the book and movie numerous times although shown in different ways.

The ability to handle hardships in the world can come easy to some and to others it may be so completely out of their own grasp that they give up without even trying. During the time frame of Kaye Gibbon’s novel Ellen Foster, the world was divided; the rich verses the poor. Others could view the nation as the whites verses the blacks. Ellen Foster is right along the middle of this division. Ellen is a white eleven year old child who faces hardship one after another. A main theme in Ellen Foster is how she deals with her pain by distracting herself with self-determination as well as comedic relief.

Throughout the book, Janie has been through many different marriages. With each marriage comes a different way she carries herself. These changes range from her behavior, self confidence, and ideals, to her actual appearance. The way she looked and acted were a direct result of each marriage, whether that be for good or poor reason.

Sarah Kemble Knight possessed character traits that were rare in women of her time. She was, unlike most women, an independent, strong, and self-confident person. She was humorous and adventurous. Her strengths included the fact that. although rare, she was not afraid to travel without a male relative as was the custom of her day. She devoted little of her journal to her fears, but focused on the humor she encountered daily on her travels. She was terrified of the river crossings, but wrote sparingly of these crossings and moved on to more entertaining journal entries. I believe her to be very likable, but probably more so to her friends and family than the people she wrote about on her trip. Her sharp pen showed only disdain for the backwoods

Leighanna Claire Hatch, Leigh to her friends and family, was always considered a quiet person. Many people assumed she had never had a rebellious stage in her life. Leigh lived in the small town of Goose Ridge. She tried to avoid arguments, especially when someone refused to hear her side. Leigh always dreamed of being able to say that her family had no problems, and that everyone got along great, but she knew better.

There was this scene where Lisa Howard: What is the most important quality for a revolutionary to possess? Ernesto CheGuevara: El amor. Cuban Diplomat #1: [translating] Love. Lisa Howard: Love? Cuban Diplomat #1: “Love of humanity... of justice and truth”. A real revolutionary goes where he is needed. This portrayed that Guevara expounded a vision of a new socialist citizen who would work for the good of society rather than for personal profit, a notion he embodied through his own hard work. Often he slept in his office, and, in support of the volunteer labour program he had organized, he spent his day off working in a sugarcane field. He had one of the most vital roles in the revolution being the army's official doctor, the revolution's logical

Mrs. Jones’ kindness to Roger change him. It changes him because he lives on the street and since he lives on the street, he probably never even experienced kindness before. When Roger snatched Mrs. Jones’ purse you can tell he didn’t want to but he needed or wanted the money. In the story, on page 31 paragraph 2, When Roger snatches the purse; he says “I didn’t aim to”. That tells you he didn’t want to do it or he is lying to save his tail. Also when Mrs. Jones took Roger in, as in into her house, he was all sort of nervous. He didn’t know what to expect. Although after Mrs. Jones gave him food and drink, he started to be less nervous and more grateful. For instance, on page 33 last paragraph, when he was leaving Mrs. Jones’ house it says

Throughout the book, Margery Kempe describes the events that took place during her lifetime, and were written as she could remember them, not as a chronological and organized order. In today’s society, Margery Kempe may have been known as someone who suffered from post partum psychosis after her numerous childbirths. This could have been a diagnosis due to her rampant disorganized behavior, continuous hallucinations, and her self-destructive behavior depicted throughout the entire novel.

“Bella” is a 3 year old female. She lives with both parents and her older brother. At 2 years of age, “Bella’s” parents grew concerned when they noticed her motor skills did not seem to be developing at the same rate as her peers. Her mom stated, “She seems to avoid playing on our backyard playset.” She was also showing signs of tactile hypersensitivity, refusing to walk barefoot on their grass while playing outside. Her mom noted that she felt helpless watching her daughter struggling to enjoy “normal” childhood activities. During the initial interview it was noted by her mother that she would not socialize with other children, and seemed to find it difficult controlling her anger. She would often act out physically.

From this point forward, she decided, she’d conduct herself better. She didn’t want Antonio mad at her. He was a good partner and they worked well together. She never wanted that to end - ever. She also decided that she shouldn’t need or want anything more from him than his dependability on the job. That would be all there was to their relationship, and all there ever should be.
