As the book is a direct insight to Lori’s schizophrenic mind as she recalls in detail her thoughts and experiences revolving her stays in the psychiatric ward and halfway houses. Indeed the progression of Lori’s illness is reflected in the author of the chapters in her book.

At the age of ten, most children are reliant on their parents for everything in their lives needing a great deal of concentration and concern. However, Ellen, the main character and combatant of the novel Ellen Foster, demonstrates a significant amount of self-reliance and mature, impartial thought as a ten-year-old girl. Ellen is a bantling even though she was not deserted, she was impoverished of a normal childhood. Her life as a child was immensely hard, physically and emotionally. She never had a mother or father take care of her through her entire youth. The recent mortality of her mother sends her on a journey for the optimal family, or anywhere her father, who had shown insensitivity to both she and her frail mother, was not. Kaye Gibbons’

Eleanor, the protagonist, undergoes a difficult childhood where she had to take care of her ill mother for 11 years, until she died. Taking care of her mother for most of her childhood prohibited her from developing as a person; that affected her tremendously. For example, During Theodora’s supernatural experience, Shirley Jackson displays how Eleanor’s inner child managed to let her grow anger and jealously towards Theodora. Eleanor felt like Hill House was giving Theodora more affection and attention than it was giving her; similar, to the one that a child would have

The story begins in a hotel placed in Italy where a “muddle” takes place over the switching of rooms for a view. In these first few pages the main character describes Mr. Emerson the man who had offered his room as having some childness aspect but “not the childishness of senility” (pg 4). The author in my eyes is trying to draw a connection to the character and his reformist views and tie childness into Mr.Emerson as his matching views are new and young. The two characters introduced hold a large role in being the authors symbols of the peaking liberal social class mostly relevant in Italy unlike the sober aged ideals displayed in Windy Corner, Lucy’s childhood home in England. Another display of this conflicting culturalism is shown by the support of Lucy, Charlotte, and others in Mrs. Lavish, who was a struggling italian author in pursuit of writing a new novel paralleled with Mrs.Honeychurch’s outburst over the misuse of a woman's time and place when hearing about the female writer.

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a novel about two woman protagonists, Mariam and Laila. The trajectory of their lives forms the double plot of the book, and although the narrative is in the third person, the point of view itself shifts to that of the character whose plotline is being developed. The two women’s narrative points of view structure the novel with intricately wrought symmetry. Part 1 of the novel is told through Mariam’s point of view, part 2 of the book is written through Laila’s point of view while part 3 is however written in the viewpoint alternates between the women with each chapter. The conclusion, part 4 is written in Laila’s point of view to end the book with a different point of view than they started the book with (Hosseini, 2007).

Hello, one of my all time favorite books that is from the 20th century is The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Mass, and it was a memorable book. I fell in love with this book, especially with it's not seen ending. There is fantasy, romance and action in this book, all of my favorite things. I would say that I can connect to the main character, Caleana in her way of doing the right thing, we both want to always try to do the right thing, no matter what. My favorite part of the book would have to be when she moves out of the horrible assassin's guild. I say this because she is showing her independence and she now can do more of helping others and in addition to that she can now live with her one true love, Sam, which kind of goes bad when, spoiler,

All of the data collected from the surveys was used to give us percentage and numerical values of people’s opinions about, and participation in, The Assassin’s Challenge. The values we collected are not representative of the entire high school, but only of the portion that either 1) registered for the Assassin’s Challenge or 2) responded to the surveys in general. With that said, the data from the registration survey was used as the basis for determining and proving whether or not our project “tipped.” We determined our tipping based on participation. The number of people that participated is shown in the Registration Survey portion of our data where we had a total of 112 responses, therefore meaning that 112 people registered to be an Assassin

The experiences we have in childhood do much to shape our adult identity. In her novel Cat's Eye, Margaret Atwood chronicles the life of artist Elaine Risley, and through a series of flashbacks shows the reader how she became her adult self. The retrospective showing of Elaine's artwork provides a framework for the retrospective of her journey from child to adult. Because Atwood was creating a fictional character, she was free to incorporate some very dramatic events that impacted Elaine's thoughts and feelings. Most of us do not have as much drama in our lives I certainly did not and yet the people, circumstances and occurrences in our lives affect us profoundly. We create our identity by the friends we choose, the decisions we make, and the way we respond to things that happen around us. Some things happen to us, and we also make conscious choices.
