The Selection By Kiera Ross 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.

In the novel Sold by Patricia McCormick, Lakshmi is a 13 year old mountain girl who lives in Nepal. She has been sold to somebody as a prostitute for 10,000 rupees but she doesn't know that. The value of a human life is more than just a dollar amount.

In the book I have just started reading, The Selection, my inference is that there will be many characters throughout the book, but from the characters I’ve met so far, my favorite is America who is the main character. I like her because she is selfless and smart. She lives with her family, which includes her parents, her brother Gerad, and her sister May. The town of Illéa where they live, is a very poor country where everyone struggles with daily life things. America's family lives in a small house where meals are small and clothing is little. Her father works as an artist, her mother and America are a show act- her mother plays the piano while America sings. I admire America because she is so generous and caring for her family as if she

Jimmy knows too well the agonies of abandonment. First, when his mother, Cecilia, ran away with Richard to pursue a better lifestyle. Then, due to his father’s, Damacio Baca, alcoholisms and violent behavior; he also had to leave Jimmy behind. In spite of the drawbacks from abandonment to being a maximum security prisoner in Arizona State Prison, Jimmy preserver’s the darkness of prison by overcoming his illiteracy. However Cecilia and Damacio is not as fortunate as their child; Cecilia is shot by Richard after confronting him for a divorce and Damacio chokes to death after he is released from the detox center(Baca 263). Therefore the most significant event in this section of the memoir, A Place to Stand by Jimmy Santiago Baca is the death of Jimmy’s parents.

Sophie Biyoya Ciardulli is the main character in the book, “Endangered”, by Eliot Schrefer. She is the daughter of Florence Biyoya, who is Congolese, and an Italian-American dad. Her mother had always thought of protecting bonobos as her top duty in life, so it was no surprise when she chose staying in Congo to develop her bonobo sanctuary rather than returning to the U.S. with her husband and daughter, after Sophie’s dad is transferred to Miami, Florida by his company for a job. Sophie attends school in America, but spends summers with her mother. Sophie had always been angry and hurt by the fact that her mother was the reason her parents divorced, but when she meets Otto, she transitions slowly in opinion and grows in acceptance of her mother’s

Throughout the book, The Chosen, there are four major qualifying characters for the role of “The Chosen One”. David Malter is the father of Reuven Malter, and is an active Zionist. Reb Saunders is the father of Danny Saunders, and doesn’t talk to his son with the hopes of teaching him compassion. Reuven is Danny’s friend, and is a bridge among all the characters. Danny becomes friends with Reuven after hitting him in the eye with a softball, and also works with David in the library in secrecy. While all these characters have major roles, only one can be crowned with the winning title. Reuven Malter is “the chosen one”. Through the development of the character, Reuven, we see a sheltered young boy learn to find compassion in his heart all

“Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.” ~ Barry Bonds. In this world bad situations occur frequently and it takes a good strong person to handle them in a mature way. Dealing with them this way not only shows that the person has self-control, but also makes them a good role model for people to look up to. In the book The Chosen, Chaim Potok uses Mr. Galanter to express his opinions of a good role model. Acting as a baseball coach and gym teacher, young boys look to him for guidance and motivation every day. Having this kind of position causes stress at times, and requires him to stay calm and level headed. Throughout this book, Mr. Galanter

Twyla and Roberta are two very different people, but bond in very similar ways. They become friends very suddenly, not because of how old they are, but because both have a mother. Twyla's mom is a dancer, and Roberta's mother is too sick to raise her. They later meet in their twenties in a not so settling way. Twyla had been bussing tables while Roberta had been living large about to meet Jimi Hendrix. Twyla was embarrassed at her long past friend and was ashamed to show herself. Five years later they meet at a grocery store where they both have kids and are settled down. They decided to go vet coffee where it starts off both are different races so they take opposite sides of the debate.  Roberta accuses Twyla of abusing one of the girls at the orphanage. Twyla only remembers sitting and watching the girl get abused by other girls, and Roberta's memories start to come back to her. This holds their relationship together for the next five years when

Why America Singer is Like a Real Teenager Rebellious, independent,and insecure describe two things, America Singer, from the novel “The Elite” by Kiera Cass, and teenagers today. America is very rebellious, because of her actions that make her stand out. Even after she swore to the palace that she will not love anyone but Prince Maxon, she had secret meetings with her hometown lover, Aspen. Another way America is rebellious is that she took a forbidden book from a secret library and read it. The book caused Maxon to bring back Halloween.

We tend to root for the underdog when a battle occurs. In this novel, Robert Ross is the dark horse we hope doesn’t get killed in the various battles he endures. Unfortunately, not all wars are reenactments of the battle of Puebla. Underdogs don’t always end up victorious like the outnumbered Mexican farmers that fought against the elite French soldiers back in May 5, 1862. As I stated in my first journal, the corruption of innocence is an inevitable war all humans are destined to lose. Robert is puny compared to the Goliaths of violence. No measly pebble nor boulder would be able to take down this beastly enemy. This is predictable because beasts and violence rule the animal kingdom after all. Robert is just another fragile rabbit facing

Natalie Sterling, a seventeen year old senior at Ross Academy had just won class president and beat her opponent Mike Domski. Mike was the kind of guy that Natalie and her best friend Autumn tried to stay away from. The girls at Ross Academy were known as demeaning and “boy crazy.” One day, during the pep rally a bunch of freshman dressed in trampy clothing and started to dance inappropriately. The leader’s name was Spencer a girl Natalie used to babysit for. The flirty freshman called themselves “Prostitutes” or Ross Academy prostitutes. Not only was Natalie embarrassed and angry by Spencers action but, she was disappointed. When the principal and Ms. Bee the student council head were talking to the girls punishments Natalie barged in. Natalie explained how she wanted to have a lock-in for all the girls in trouble and any others from school who wanted to come, about feminism and women's rights. Ms. Bee and Natalie agreed that it would be a good idea for

Imagine— you are sitting upon an old dock at the edge of a pond as the evening sun begins to set. A captivating ornamentation of light dances off the water as the sun slowly disappears behind an overbearing mountain. You become mesmerized by the mixed celebration of the faint yellow, baby blue, and champagne pink lights that shine across the ripples of the water. When suddenly, there is the faint cry of a loon in the distance. This cry startles you and brings you from that tranquil state back to the harrowing vapidity of reality.You try your best to ignore the loon as his noisy laugh continues to mock you from across the pond. You immediately want to turn to annoyance, but you instead decide to embrace the loon after realizing that he is time and you are Norman Thayer. You are the character from the play “On Golden Pond,” written by Ernest Thompson, who lost their charismatic outlook on life to the turning of time. A vast array of critics call “On Golden
