Gail is the eldest sister in the Sapphires. She is a very protective of her sister and she blames herself if her sister gets in danger or they get in trouble because she thinks that she should prevent them from get hurt or trouble. “There's a reason that you're this... terrible mouth, and it’s very simple. Your mama bear... and they're your little baby cubs.” She does extremely well at ignoring the judgement throughout the film and shows the advantages of being an Aboriginal. Also Gail is a very tenacious person when she is doing something what she likes she shows this when she said “shut up I’m not finished. ok now I am finished” In this quote she is putting Dave back in his spot, because he thought she was finished.

Lena Haloway is a 17-year-old girl who was lied to her entire life; now she’s going to get revenge. Pandemonium, by Lauren Oliver, is a fiction book. It’s a relatable story about a young girl trying to get through her life. Pandemonium is a good book, but it is considered a “young-adult”(Keller 3) book. It doesn’t stretch your mind as much as some teachers would like a summer book to do. Even though this is a book for younger people, it is still a terrific choice for a summer read.

This was a great read. It reveals that the nature of slavery, at the time, wasn't just working for white people. Dr. Flint was pressuring 'Linda' (Jacobs) to have a sexual relationship with him. She had said that she would rather work her whole life out at a cotton plantation than have to work for Dr. Flint. If she were to mention anything about their 'relations' he had threatened her to measures worse than death.

Knowing that these events in this book actually had happened made it harder for me to read. This chapter you start to see that Mr Flint starting to sexually abuse her. Being as honest as she was she successfully showed what it was like to be a woman's slave. What he did and the fact that she was a slave major believe you can go nowhere for protection that's how it affected her mind. "No matter whether the slave girl be as black as ebony or as fair as her mistress. In either case, there is no shadow of law to protect her from insult, from violence, or even from death." (27) In the next chapter "The Jealous Mistress" the treatment of Mr flint kept happening. Now her mistress kept getting jealous, realizing things were going on. In my opinion the way she explaining things were happening to her what's a good way to do it. Instead of coming straight out and saying exactly what Mr flint did to her, she let us infer. Which I personally liked better because it wasn't as graphic. I said before the reason she wrote this book was to explain the treatment of her as a slave. She explains "I draw no imaginary pictures of southern homes. I am telling you the plain truth"(pg 34). So I think this helps to prove her point that she's not lying and she is telling exactly how it happened. Also in the chapter "The lover" it does explain successfully like the rest of the book of what happens to her, even as a young girl who fell in love. The book does show what happened but it is not until the middle and the end of the book you start seeing how it affected her. But you do see a little of the first of her showing her emotions and what the treatment made her feel. "I felt lonely and desolate."

There's is just something off about romance movies that includes what they would say is a ‘macho/masculine’ man, that makes you feel as if there's a whole other story that's not being portrayed; the tale of the man is usually portrayed through the woman's perspective. How handsome and strong he is, with his perfectly cut muscles and masculine jaw, and his… oh wait yeah. Everything that society views to be physically masculine leaves the boyfriend who is forced to watch this romantic comedy, confused about his on masculinity.

"I'm fine," says Graves sharply, clenching his jaw. He might be a slowly degrading husk but it doesn't mean she can pity him. Jane looks chastened, and Graves feels like a bastard. “Thank you, but I have everything I need,” he amends. Wait, sorry, it seems that he has a brain tumour too, because what he actually says is, “I have Holly.”

To the citizens of the “civilized world”, Linda sacrificed herself and her humanity in order to survive in the savage lands of the reservation. Above all, she gave up her decency by becoming a

The next section of the book was a lot to take in because there are so many twists and unexpected events. Linda with or without knowing it, brings more drama into her life than expected. Still afraid that Mr. Flint will continue his obscene behavior, Linda quickly finds a solution to her problems when she meets Mr. Sands. There is no indication of love between the unmarried white man and negro girl, but Linda only seems to be thinking of herself at the moment. She believes that a baby will be a clear indicator to Mr. Flint that she does not want him. However, that seems to have the opposite effect on the slave owner. Now, he tries even harder than ever to get her to realize that

Once again, a man has broken her fragile tranquillity, a real man, in flesh and bones. His furtive glances woke up forgotten warmth in the heart for that years when she was miss Coleman, not prisoner number 56314. Not once and not twice, Linda was becoming aware that the only meaning of her acts is to provoke man`s attention with hope to experience, one more time, this immoral irresistible

In order to protect her daughter from suffering sexual assaults and her boy from being humiliated, Jacobs conceals herself for seven years in her grandmother’s garret, which is only nine feet long and seven feet wide, with no access for either light or air. It is motherly love that supports Jacobs while she is in hiding. Physical and emotional sufferings do not prevent Jacobs from performing motherly duties. When Christmas comes, Linda “busied [herself] making some new garments and little playthings for [her] children” (ILSG 109). Linda is more than the proverbial ‘angel of the house’ here. Her femininity entails the moral and spiritual strength to fight against slavery. Jacobs’ effort to create a world of equality on this earth is evident
