Let's say you're sick with a deadly disease and anyone could get it and one day you fell asleep (obviously) and you woke up and no one was there, no one at all, they just left. The house is almost completely empty besides you and your stuff, but every else and there stuff was gone. What would you do? Lay there and die? Or go get help? No, never give up on people when they need it even if they are sick with a deadly disease, help others like if you would want help, too. We see this in the book "Fever" this happens to some of characters when they get the fever but most people in the book stay with the sick or some of them leave and a few stayed. In Fever 1793 Laurie Halse Anderson shows us that the theme of people never give up on anything and/or anybody.
This quote talks about how courage involves taking risks especially in new situations. Laurie Halse Anderson had the same idea as Walt Disney in the book Speak.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is a book about high school. The “best years of your life.” Unfortunately, Melinda Sordino experienced high school differently. Beginning the year with no friends, because she called the cops during a summer party, because she got raped. Speak by Anderson was a good read, but it wasn’t a good book. There was multiple things you could have done to make this a better book.
How would one feel if they had to drop all of their dreams and goals in order to look good for the neighbors? How would one feel if all they were used for was to conceive their spouses child? Those instances don’t sound too good, well a woman's role in the 1950’s was just that. In the dark novel written by Sylvia Plath, Esther Greenwood is constantly battling an inner conflict of listening to society which leads her to battling depression. Plath shows the women’s roles and the challenges of how women must sacrifice their dreams to become wives and mothers through Esther’s accountings.
Shirley Jackson’s novel, The Haunting of Hill House, explores the cultural anxieties in the mid 20th century. Specifically, men use womanhood (societal norms) as purposely infantilizing women in order to confine the female mind. Jackson utilizes symbolism, metaphor, and anaphora in her novel in order to convey the message for men to stop infantilizing women. Moreover, Jackson spreads awareness that women are being confined by a system that men developed: womanhood. Hence, in effect, the novel serves as an informal protest against male repression through a medium that can be read by a wider audience —more importantly an indirect challenge to male readers. According to Krolokke, Second Wave Feminism became prominent due to cultural discontent with patriarchy during the mid 20th century. Moreover, Krolokke informs the readers that Second Wave Feminism influenced women to challenge traditional family roles and male ideologies about women not belonging in the workplace (11-12). Mid 20th century is also when Jackson published The Haunting of Hill House. So, with these historical and cultural contexts in mind, Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House ends the novel with Eleanor killing herself because she wants women to challenge the ideas of patriarchy into effect. Hence, Second Wave Feminism has a connection to Eleanor having a childlike personality (can not think for herself) because she wants women (especially young and single women) to explore their rights (their choices) and
The book, Crucible is the source behind this essay based on the incidents which happened in the town of Salem in 1692. The happenings in this point of history is most popularly known as “The Salem Witch Trials.” The author of this book wrote this because of his involvement in the Cold War when he was accused of things he either did or did not do. What happened in his life during the Cold War is parallel to the characters in the town of Salem when they are accused and brought before a court to determine their innocence and interaction with the Devil. From observing the Crucible by Arthur Miller the cause of the Salem Witch Trials is stupidity and an insecurity to hold a good reputation; selfishness found on three accounts: the church/court, John Proctor, and Abigail.
Oprah Winfrey is the best known icon of philanthropy. She has given away more than three hundred and fifty million dollars towards charity organizations also known as The Angel Network, which provides charity grants to various countries for poverty, disease, education, homelessness, and child neglect. The funding’s have helped changed the lives of many, as Ryan Haggerty from the Chicago Tribune states, “Years removed from high school and busy raising her family, Bertha Medrano figured she 'd never realize her dream of becoming a teacher. But thanks in large part to a $25,000 grant from Oprah Winfrey 's Angel Network to the Logan Square Neighborhood Association, the Chicago resident is just months from earning a college degree and likely teaching for Chicago Public Schools…Harpo doesn 't track how much of Winfrey 's overall giving goes to Chicago-based organizations, and it 's

The movie I chose to research was The Crucible, directed by Nicholas Hytner but written by Arthur Miller. This film starred a young Wynona Ryder along with Daniel day-Lewis and Paul Scofield. Originally released on November 27th 1996, the film was well received even being nominated for an Oscar in 1997, along with 26 additional academy awards that year, sadly it only won 4. Of course a film about witchcraft, an affair, and people being hanged would spark controversy especially since it was rated at pg-13 but nothing major was said about this. Although it could have attributed to the few number of awards won. On the other hand Rolling stone magazine said in an article “In the film 's most complex role, Day-Lewis performs with quiet power. Playing nobility can make actors insufferable, but Day-Lewis keeps John Proctor human even when saddled with smudgy makeup and fake brown teeth for his final scene.” giving the film an overall positive review.
Author of Harry Potter, J.K Rowling said, “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends”.

Speak is written by Laurie Anderson, who depicts a story of a high school student struggling to make it through her first year in the big school. She fights through heartbreak, fake friends and an unexpected bully also known as "it". She had been through the thick and thin, and throughout the book still shows courage in almost everything she does.
