Figurative language is used to emphasize Cassie and her emotions in her experiences and interactions and how she learns from that. Epiphany is used to convey how both Cassie and Stacey learned from their mistakes and simultaneously grew from said mistakes. Many other characters in this book go through an experience they could learn from, but don’t learn from it (e.g. T.J.). But, Stacey and Cassie, thanks to their parents they learn from their mistakes and experiences and get a life lesson along with it. Taylor's book displays a variety of themes but the most prominent theme is that making mistakes is part of life, and is okay, but it is important that you learn from those mistakes and grow from

She was also wondering what happened to her mental health. As the book progresses, there are very low points and despair, debating suicide or not. The overall moral is the awareness of mental health itself and how depression is never easy. Understanding will help with depression and there is a process to get better. Currently this is not an appropriate book for a teenage audience, but I strongly believe it should be as it discusses topics many present day people deal with.

“Girl” is a short story in which the author, Jamaica Kincaid, unofficially presents the stereotypes of girls in the mid 1900s. Kincaid includes two major characters in the story “Girl”, they are the mother and the girl. Although the daughter only asks two questions in this story, she is the major character. The mother feels like her daughter is going in the wrong direction and not making the best decisions in her life. The whole story is basically the mother telling her daughter what affects her decisions will have in the future. The mother believes that because her daughter isn’t sitting, talking, cleaning, walking or singing correctly it will lead her to a path of destruction. “Girl” is a reflection of female sexuality, the power of family, and how family can help overcome future dangers.

“Girl” is quite a strange short story compare to all the other ones that were read in class. It is strange to hear the high expectations that parents communicate to their children because of the way they are presented and because of the language that is used. All that sounds pretty unusual and outdated. But in those days it was probably something normal. Also, Kincaid is trying to point out how the world is changing and how women have much more freedom to do what

Girl Trouble is a film by PBS that followed three young girls for four years through their struggles and experience with crime and the criminal justice system.

Society has created in their minds the way a woman is supposed to act and the things they are allowed to do.

“Girl” is a story by Jamacia Kimcaid and it is about a mother who has a series of instructions for her daughter on how she should live her life. She constantly accuses and ridicules the girl about being a slut and singing calypso songs in church. She tells the girl how she must plant foods, how she must take care of herself and her house so as not to reveal herself as a ‘slut’. Her tone changes towards the end when she tells the girl to touch the bread at the bakery to see if it is right, to which the daughter asks what to do if the baker doesn’t let her. The mother then says what kind of girl is she that the baker won’t even let her touch bread?

Overall, Stargirl girl is a quirky, free-spirit, who doesn’t care what people think about her. She is content with one or two friends, and doesn’t even notice people insulting her. She connects with the universe in a much deeper level than anyone else, and that gets passed on to those who spend time with her. She is so incredibly cheery and compassionate, even to those who do not reciprocate, which shows a lot on her part. Stargirl is a “rare bird,”

Girl Interrupted is a discerning, unwavering document that gives long-lasting and precise dimension to our explanations of stable and insane, mental illness and recovery. This intense novel uses language, literary terms and structure to express the struggle that author Susanna Kaysen went through in her lifetime. This story contains a strong use of literary Language and terms. The Terms are stated firmly and clearly through the entire book. For example when Susanna says, "And somewhat more dangerous things, like putting a gun in your mouth", this is an example of a simile when she is speaking about suicide.

Because of today’s society, its standards and how we treat young girls and women, mothers want to protect their daughters with a good reputation and want to be appreciated by the men in their lives. In some cases, mothers can be stern on their daughters, because they want to teach them to be a better woman that they once were. Sometimes, mothers have to be considerate when trying to educate their daughters about the real world. In other words, parents help their children make the right decisions, but it is the children’s choice to do what is best for them. In conclusion, “Girl” is a perfect archetype to show that young girls are trained a particular way to become a woman that are mostly skilled in household chores with a non-promiscuous

If I were to meet any character from any book or series it would be… Kendra Sorenson from Fable Haven. Why? One, she is fairy kind so she can speak and read the fairy language, or anything around Sylvan, or she can speak to fairies, Imps, Goblins, Brownies, Snipes, Naiads, and Unicorns, and she can recharge magical items.

Without the typical formal structure of setting, characterization that usually shows in Kincaid’s writing, although the story “Girl” is only slightly more than two pages in length, it is unique in term of narration. Kincaid makes unique use of the narrative voice of a nameless girl recalling her mother’s advice about things to do and not do to prevent her becoming the slut her mother fears she is bent on
