Signature Assignment For Evelyn

Through all the readings that she had possessed she had become, what was the start of, an independent woman. The fact that she continued to read to further her knowledge and to learn more did not faze her that not many other women were doing as she was. At a young age she knew that “settling” with the roles of women during this time was a life that she had to choose but she also wanted more. She wanted to educate herself and that she did through the works of her favorite author’s books and poems.

Ann M. Martin once said, “I think reading is a gift that was given to me as a child by many people, and now as an adult and a writer, I’m trying to give a little of it back to others. It’s one of the best pleasures I know.” This shows that Ann is thankful for her gift and she wants to share it with people who don’t have the same gift as her. Ann had always loved reading at a young age. Which made her love writing. Once she had a passion for writing she became an author. Ann M. Martin’s childhood and early years, education and work experience, and life after becoming an author all influenced her writing.

Her life was not easy, her husband got shot and was left alone yet she came back to care for him. That didn’t stop him from verbally abusing him. But when push came to shove, she just left because she kept expressing how she felt. She could have killed her husband if she let her anger pile on inside but she let it out and it made a lot of space in her heart to forgive her husband. Writing and other forms of self-expression have helped many others alike so this says a lot about the usefulness of the literary arts.

She was very talented at art, and saw/read many books written for children or young adults. What surprised her is the fact that she never came across a book that was about characters in books coming out of their stories and breathing. She had often imagined the characters in her favorite stories as living, breathing people, and was shocked that no one seemed to be publishing anything like that. This inspired the main plot of the Inkheart series, which is about a man and his daughter who have the very rare talent of reading aloud in a way that literally pulls the characters out of a book and into the world that we live

The influence of Marcy’s mother was significant in shaping Marcy’s literacy early on in life. Marcy stated “My mother was very instrumental in getting me started.” Her mother would often read her the Dick and Jane books, which were very memorable for Marcy. A lot of Marcy’s early childhood was spent with her mother. Marcy recalled how her “mother had a big influence because she was a stay at home mother, so she had the time. “[…]She read me Alice in Wonderland twice, and read me a book of fairytales.” Marcy’s motherly influence made her realize how much she loved literature. However, it would be Marcy’s education that would give her the determination, and the passion, needed to become an English teacher.

She knew that an informative text was kinda like a recipe – she had to explain how it worked.

The things she experienced as a child as a result of her parents’ actions helped influence her first novel and her life.

First off, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your letter to Evelyn. You and I both chose the same stance on wether or not Evelyn should go with Frank to Buenos Ayres. You made a compelling argument throughout the letter, especially when pointing out that Evelyn simply doesn't know Frank enough to ensure their relationship will work out long term.

In most groups this would be a big challenge because introverts tend to keep to themselves and work alone but this isn’t the case for our group, instead our group is very close and we can easily talk to each other and work together to get the best results possible. Other than that I don’t see many other challenges that our group faces. I find that since our group is made up of so many different types we complement each other and thus make work easy. The best way to show that our group compliments each other is that Doug and my thinking type compliments Miranda’s and Adrene’s feeling type. I say this because of Doug and I having more of a leadership role in the group our thinking type is supported by the girls feeling type and thus we never have conflict when it comes to making
