We picked this because it talks about what the whole book is really about which is where a girl kills herself because over the years she gets hurt by friends and the people around her and she thinks she’s had enough of that so she ends her life because of the hurting she went through. The connection to the message of this book is that Hannah felt lost and hurt so much that she hated the fact that these people around her could cause so much pain in her life and she thought it wasn’t fair for them to do that because like she said in the passage if you mess with one part of a person’s life then you're with there whole
Lying and keeping secrets can only hurt someone in the end. This is true for David in the book “The Memory Keeper's Daughter,” written by Kim Edwards. He intentionally deceived others, but his dishonesty was meant for good intentions based on his and his family’s best interest. Or so he thought.
I can relate this book to my life in many ways; it was easier for me to relate to this book because were both 18 year old girls who want to live life the right way. Also I don’t want to live life trying to be like everyone else, so this was really encouraging to me. A part that helped me was the part about confidence and how important that is. Its important to have confidence in your faith because say you get in a situation you can protect your faith and stand up for what you believe. Another part that I can really apply to my life was how when people were talking about her she didn’t even beg to know. Personally whenever I hear that someone was talking about me, I really want to know what they said! This helped me to learn that why fill my brain with negativity sinful gossip, because that’s not what Jesus would do.
...lives. It gives readers the chance to emphasize with these women and their families. It let readers experience the trials and tribulations these women underwent firsthand. A nonfiction novel would not have had that impact and ability to draw readers that close.
Main purpose and idea of the story. The idea that reading is freedom that can never be taken away from you. The book just could not have put all of these exclusive scenes and characters that brought out the purpose of the story within six measly chapters. Overall, the movie better explained the purpose of story that took place in a time when “It’s against the law for a Negro slave to read!”
Although this book had no major affect on me, I learned how a boy can go through traumatic experiences and still have the will power to keep going on. That was the only thing that really affected me in the whole book.
Prior to reading Thirteen Reasons Why, I felt that no one understood me. I often find myself engulfed in books, but only if I can connect them to my life. Often books can tug your emotions and hook onto you. Books have impacted my life by helping me realize that I am not alone in my situations. Books used to be my decampment from the world when I felt that I was the only one enduring my dilemmas. When reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, it was effortless for me to attach myself to the book, greatly impacting my life by changing my previous viewpoint about no one grasping what I went through.
1. When the book reflects people's lives, they tend to be more interested in it.
The most important passage was how Lilly felt because it helped people understand how she felt about the post and comments that were made about her. The most important feeling is how the post and comments made Lilly feel. It was important because she was the one getting picked on and bullied but no one knew how she felt and what she wanted to do. No one knew it was hurting her and affecting her except for herself. I think middle schoolers should read this book because bullying and cyberbullying mostly happens at middle schools since they think they can do whatever they want without thinking. I also think maybe 5th and up should read this book because it will help them learn from it and know it won't be okay. I don't think 4th and down should read this book because they probably won’t understand it and won’t learn much of it since their still
Hemmingway wrote this story in a unique fashion. The book is written with no apparent plot, that is, there are not twists, intrigue, or goals for the characters. The plot is simply the story itself. That is what Hemmingway wanted, he wanted the reader to read this story and recognize the loses and struggles the characters encounter through experiences they had.
The book Freedom Writer influences me, because it shows the life of many teens students who were at- risk they were known as the “untouchables”. These students self -separated into radical groups. Teens who were involved in gangs to either because their family were gang related or to be showed respects by others. But there was a teacher who believed in them she inspired her students to take interest in getting an education. Ms Gruwell became successful on teaching her “untouchables” students most of them graduated and went to college. Ms Gruwell as well was able to stop the separation between her classmates. The pregnancy project, also in influences me because it's demonstrate that no matter what a person does, we will always be criticizes. The book is about a high school student named Gaby Rodriguez, who decides that her senior project would be on stereotyping. As her senior project she decided fake her pregnancy to see how people would react and as well experiences what the others pregnancy teen go through. She knew that this senior project would teach everyone a valuable lesson, although she felt guilty lying to people. Gabby only desire was to give young teen girls a message throughout her project; her message was “there’s a time in their lives when teens are becoming sexually active, they need to realize how the decisions they make now
emotions and subtle nuances provided by the author in the book, and many of the deeper feelings and emotions therein are missed entirely, or touched on much too briefly
While works on collective memory are often interested in the manifestation of such memories (that is, how collective memory is represented), Jelin advances that concern should also be raised on how these very representations change with time and relate to positionality. As she states:
Suicide is a very dark topic that is covered very thoroughly in this book. Hannah Baker is not able to save herself in the end, but hopefully this book can shine a light on and spread awareness to the issue of suicide, and help people know that every life is precious an every life matters substantially, and that there is hope along with people who truly care. In this journal, I predicted that Clay would help Skye, questioned why Justin and Hannah didn’t say anything, and connected Hannah Baker to Taylor
Memory of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. Clarissa Dalloway and Peter Walsh are defined by their memories. Virginia Woolf creates their characters through the memories they share, and indeed fabricates their very identities from these mutual experiences. Mrs. Dalloway creates a unique tapestry of time and memory, interweaving past and present, memory and dreams. The past is the key to the future, and indeed for these two characters the past creates the future, shaping them into the people they are on the June day described by Woolf.
