For my conceptual artifact, I decided to go with a film that I watched in High School called No One Would Tell. This film is a great example of dating violence and covers a lot of the phases of being in an abusive relationship. The film is centered around two main characters, Stacy Collins who is the girlfriend being abuse and Bobby Tennison who is the abusive boyfriend. This film goes to show how a relationship that looks happy to many people, may actually have darker secrets. Through the film we see the level of abuse rising, but at the same time we see Stacy falling prey to all of Bobby's pleas of forgiveness. Like in many real lifes cases of domestic abuse, it’s not as easy to get out as many people would think. Unfortunately, Stacy was

In any genuine friendship there are the differences between the people that spark curiosity, yet, it is similarities that draw two together to form a tight bond. This is evident in the friendship that starts between Vivian and Molly. Vivian, from outward show, does not display the slightest similarity with Molly. It is not until one examines the often tragic back stories of both that striking parallels begin to be made clear. By the time all is uncovered, the likenesses shared between Vivian and Molly far outweigh any disparities. In examining the relationship between Vivian and Molly, a perfect balance is struck in Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline.

Passing Strange is a Broadway production that explores the life journey of Youth, a brave young man, who is doing the impossible to achieve his dream. At first he is presented as a shy guy, who does not have enough courage to declare what he desires. His mother is the one that worries about his life and his feelings, because she wants the best for her son. However, Youth decides to go on a journey far away from his mother, from his old lifestyle, far way from everything. He travels to foreign lands, meets new and interesting people; he is living the dream. Everything looks unreal, because indeed it is. Youth forgets that only love is real and everything else without love is empty. When he recalls what love is, it is already too late

But, the way the author used symbolism, foreshadowing, and relatable quotes stood out to me the most. When I was reading and even after, I found myself making connections and thinking deeper into the books

I do not know if there is any other field of knowledge which suffers so badly as history from the sheer blind repetitions that occur year after year, and from book to book.

Sometimes the book made me laugh and I cried a bit in the end. You defiantly get caught by the book, by ‘A’ and the fascinating life ‘A’ lives. You want to know what happens with the people you meet through the story. You easily feel like you’re apart of the story.

All of these factors in the stories are important to the plot. Little similarities appear between each book, yet they share the similarity of being relatable. The reason why these books are so popular, to teens in particular, is because people can relate to the feelings and emotions of everyday people. Their experiences might not be as dramatic, but feeling like an outsider or like you have to just go along with what people tell you to do is a common feeling that most people share. Feelings are probably one of the most universal things that people feel. These differences and similarities make the stories what they

These themes of hope and identity refer to the topic secret histories through the secret inner personal lives that people still manage to maintain despite this scrutiny.

There are similarities and differences between the ways the authors use dynamic characters and the conflicts they experience to develop a satisfying conclusion. In the story “Aaron’s Gift” he really wanted to join a gang,but he had to bring the pigeon to get in but they try to kill the bird, so Aaron fought the boys and the bird flew away,and he came home betup and his grandmother thanked him for the birthday gift.In the “Egypt game” the 6 kids loved to play a game in the professors shed,but everyone thinks he is a bad person,then some man tries to take one of the kids -- April -- and the other kid Marshel is frozen in fear,--out of know where someone yeled help! help! help! It was the professor he saved April.

Each piece is generally likable, fortified by the use of vivid imagery, curious characters and emotional vagaries that play out fairly well. Every story is a glimpse into ordinary lives that are

Another aspect that attracted me to novel was they way it was written. Although the book did have separate chapters, the way that it is written make the novel flow as if it was one big paragraph. There are moments in the story where characters converse but speech is not noted by quotation marks or paragraph breaks. This is a type of writing that even the most experience authors fail to accomplish, but Cole made it seem so effortless. Such a style of literature is bound to keep readers interested. If felt as if the reader was reading a diary versus a novel. Included in the novel includes forms of

Each perspective is held within a chapter which, when the characters move away from each other, allows the author to leave minor cliff-hangers at the end of each chapter. While six of the characters from this first book are from the same family, the perspective is shifted around in preceding books. Death is common is this book and it’s was one of the best things about it because it played well to the realism of the time that is depicted. Main characters are not safe like in other novels I have read and this made for very exciting reading. Self preservation is often the cause for character splits and confrontations, and by the end of the book characters you assumed you would be attached too for some time are left headless and gutless or simply gone.

The Secret is a book written by Rhonda Byrne, which is known as the best-selling book in 2006. I was amazed when I entered the classroom and found out that we’ll be viewing/watching the DVD about The Secret. I have heard about this documentary since I was in 3rd year college and by this time I finally got the chance to watch a masterpiece. I wanted to watch this since but I never had the chance to because I got so busy with school activities but right now I think I am lucky that I am a part who knows The Secret and I am thankful to know it.
