Walk Two Moon Phoebe Character Analysis

Even after Sal moves away, Phoebe and Ben continue to write and talk to Sal. On page 265, “Ben and Phoebe write to me all the time. Ben sent me a valentine in the middle of October that said, Roses are red Dirt is brown, please be my valentine, or else I’ll frown. She will have some friends to talk to and be able to express how she's feeling. Without her friends, life would be tough for Sal.

Sing Down the Moon, a book written by Scott O’Dell is about a young Navajo girl named Bright Morning who is tending her flock of sheep with her friend, Running Bird, when they spot Spanish slavers coming toward them. They are both captured and taken to a village. There they are sold to different families as servants. Running Bird and Bright Morning later escape with another Native American servant, Nehana. Soon after returning home to their tribe, the Long Knives make everyone leave their homes, and take almost nothing other than water and food. Suddenly the Navajo tribe is ambushed by the Long Knives and forced to walk to an Apache/Navajo reservation.

Sanity is subjective. Every individual is insane to another; however it is the people who possess the greatest self-restraint that prosper in acting “normal”. This is achieved by thrusting the title of insanity onto others who may be unlike oneself, although in reality, are simply non-conforming, as opposed to insane. In Susanna Kaysen’s Girl, Interrupted, this fine line between sanity and insanity is explored to great lengths. Through the unveiling of Susanna’s past, the reasoning behind her commitment to McLean Hospital for the mentally ill, and varying definitions of the diagnosis that Susanna received, it is evident that social non-conformity is often confused with insanity.

She changes from these external conflicts because of actions. An external conflict is when Gram gets bitten by a water moccasin. In the book it says “As he made a slit in Gram’s leg across the snake bite, blood trickled down her ankle,” (pg 88). This made Sal worry more about Gram and having to take to the hospital quicker. It also made her now be on the lookout for Gram. The second external conflict is when Sal figured out about the bus crash who Mrs. Cadaver was really. In the book it says They were strangers to each other earn they got on that bus, but by the time they got of, six days later, they were friends,” (pg 256). This makes Sal realize that she has been treating Mrs. Cadaver badly even though she was friends with her mother, and now she probably regrets it. But this shows that you should never judge someone without knowing their

Sal says that the story starts when her father unexpectedly makes sal go along with him to Euclid Ohio. They stop in front of a house and her father explains that this is where Margaret lives. Sal says she then sees a face in a window, a girls face. This is where her adventure begins, a tragic, wonderful, life-changing adventure. Sal explains that Phoebe’s story is in many ways the same as hers. She says that “Beneath Phoebe's story was another one. Mine.” (Creech, 3).

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

This starts when Creech writes “My mother's hair had been long and black, like mine, but a week before she left, she cut it” (85). Sal realizes the importance that the way a person's hair is styled, really defines who they are. For example, Sal’s father did not want Sal to cut hers. This creates an external conflict because Sal’s dad sees a major change in her mom and daughter after Sal’s mom cut her hair. Creech later states, “ ‘Just okay?’ Mrs.Winterbottom suddenly leaned over and kissed Phoebe’s cheek. ‘ I’m not a baby you know,’ Phoebe said, wiping off the kiss (96). Mrs.Winterbottom kissed Phoebe’s cheek and Phoebe is embarrassed in front of Sal. This creates an internal conflict because Phoebe cautiously jumps to conclusion that Sal is disturbed from her getting kissed by her mom. Sal realizes that something is upsetting Phoebe, but Sal does not mind it. Then Creech writes, “ Gramps said, ‘How’s your snake leg, gooseberry?’ He was worried about Gram, but less about her leg, than her raspy breathing” (133). Gramps is really concerned about Grams raspy breathing and we know this because he considers her breathing worse than a snake bite that is potentially poisonous. This creates an internal because Gramps is concerned for Gram and it makes him

“I have learned that something happens when one makes herself available to God: He starts moving in ways no one could imagine” (Davis 43). Such was the case for Katie Davis in her heart-warming novel, Kisses From Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption, co-written by Beth Clark. Katie’s nonfiction memoir speaks passionately about her move to Uganda: here she strengthened her relationship with Jesus, adopted thirteen little Ugandan girls, started a nonprofit ministry, and so much more. Katie’s unique journey teaches about sacrifice for the Lord our God and about following Him wholeheartedly with reckless abandonment. Consequently, Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis is a hopeful story that teaches readers about God’s love for us, and

Sal changes because she eventually accepts her mom's death. Sal went on a road trip with gram and gramps to see her mom on her birthday but on they’re way there grams got bit by a snake and she had to go to the hospital because she had a stroke. Sal still wanted to go see her mom but gramps had to stay there with grams. Gramps knew that Sal wanted to see her mom so he gave her his keys to his car and Sal started driving but like two hours later after driving the cop pulled her over and she had to get in the cop car with the cop. The cop took Sal to her mom's grave. Then the cop takes her home and Sal comes to her senses and realized that she is jealous of three things after she says what she is jealous of she says “I miss my mom.” this quote shows that she accepts her mom's

The protagonist, Holden, is moving away from the issue of existential anxiety and path of self hate into the path of self compassion, breathing, awareness, acknowledgement, acceptance, action, and appreciation, by demonstrating acts of kindness to others. In the beginning of the story, Holden would often judge a person instantly, such as Ackley and Stradlater, but later in the novel, we notice that Holden shows less judgement and more endearment in the form of the steps of self compassion. An example appears when Holden picks out a gift for her sister, Phoebe. When he picked out the record Little Shirley Beans to give to her, he said, “I could hardly wait to get to the park to see if old Phoebe was around so that I could give it to her” (Salinger, 116).

After Phoebe nearly spent three-fourths of her Christmas money on carousel rides, the ride was about to close because of all this damn rain. I mean, it wasn’t like it was a tornado or anything but—. Anyways, when the ride was over, all the kids ran to their parents like they thought the rain was lava or something and it was going to melt them. Not old Phoebe though. Boy was she smooth. So smooth. She just walked on over to me and plopped right down beside me on the bench. It was as if Phoebe was as happy as I was, watching her all smiley and funny and stuff. It made me even happier; watching Phoebe was one thing, but her acting just like me, boy did that kill me. It really did.

The author illustrates how being naive can lead to an individual to becoming insane.

Lilo’s ordinary world is in Hawaii and stitch’s ordinary world is that he was made as experiment 626 13:16. Lilo and Stitch is a Disney which was aimed for kids but the author used Campbell's technique to give a better understanding of the story not only for kids. This justifies that hero's are not always followed by very godly-like leaders. The proof of Lilo and stitch being created based on the mono myths helped show that the Hero's journey is ambiguous. The odyssey was an overall heroic theme with a splash of patriarchy added to show the dominance of men. The mono myths helped create an entertaining plot of a heroic kind of story. The hero journey throughout the novel as Odysseus undergoes many obstacles and learns great

Older brothers are typically the ones who annoy and bully the younger siblings with love. They are the ones who the parents rely on to help around the house. Jem Finch is a little bit different than the typical older brother to a little girl, but then again his little sister isn’t that ordinary either. Jem Finch displays many character traits. In the first few chapters he displays a little kid who gets in trouble along side of his friends and younger sister, but further into the novel Jem demonstrates more responsible behaviors by accepting his wrongs and the consequences. He also shows how he will stand up for Scout and take care of her, even though he doesn’t like to be seen with her while they are at school, and he is hard on her when

“At least she has gone to a better place.” Stephanie whispered to herself. As Stephanie wiped a tear of her face, she spotted Lila huddled up in the corner weeping her heart out. Stephanie knew that Amanda was Lila’s cousin, but she was too afraid to say anything. If she was caught talking to someone like Lila, her social status would be ruined! It would make her from the most popular girl to the 37 millionth popular girl. She can’t do that to herself...can she? She had to do what was right. She couldn’t let Lila suffer in silence. She had to be there for her. After all, that is pretty much the only thing they had in common.
