  • A Stolen Life by Jaycee Lee Dugard

    893 Words  | 2 Pages

    A Stolen Life by Jaycee Lee Dugard is an autobiography recounting the chilling memories that make up the author’s past. She abducted when she was eleven years old by a man named Phillip Garrido with the help of his wife Nancy. “I was kept in a backyard and not allowed to say my own name,” (Dugard ix). She began her life relatively normally. She had a wonderful loving mother, a beautiful baby sister,, and some really good friends at school. Her outlook on life was bright until June 10th, 1991, the day of her abduction. The story was published a little while after her liberation from the backyard nightmare. She attended multiple therapy sessions to help her cope before she had the courage to share her amazing story. For example she says, “My growth has not been an overnight phenomenon…it has slowly and surely come about,” (D 261). She finally began to put the pieces of her life back together and decided to go a leap further and reach out to other families in similar situations. She has founded the J A Y C Foundation or Just Ask Yourself to Care. One of her goals was, amazingly, to ensure that other families have the help that they need. Another motive for writing the book may have also been to become a concrete form of closure for Miss Dugard and her family. It shows her amazing recovery while also retelling of all of the hardships she had to endure and overcome. She also writes the memoir in a very powerful and curious way. She writes with very simple language and sentence structures. This becomes a constant reminder for the reader that she was a very young girl when she was taken. She was stripped of the knowledge many people take for granted. She writes for her last level of education. She also describes all of the even...

  • The Causes Of The Death Of Maylin Reynoso's History

    741 Words  | 2 Pages

    The main difference between these two cases were the women’s races; Maylin was Dominican while Karina was Italian-American. Maylin did not get the news coverage she deserved and I believe that the main reason for this was because she was a Latina. Hispanics are the largest minority in the United States and many times they are seen as a disturbance to the community. I believe that there are certain people that do not like Hispanics living in the United States. Many believe that we are all immigrants and are living off of welfare; when the reality is much different from this. Racism still exists and the stereotypes surrounding Hispanics are more negative than positive. In Maylin’s case, the authorities believed that she had most likely ran away, rather than had been kidnapped. Why was her disappearance not seen for what it was? The negative stereotypes surrounding Hispanic women is unacceptable, they are believed to be overly sensual and feisty women. There is nothing wrong with a woman’s sexuality or energetic personality, but the way that media has shaped these negative stereotypes of Hispanic women has created a bad reputation for

  • Analysis Of Girl Last Seen By Nina Laurin

    It was a thrilling story to follow and it left me guessing until the end. The only thing I did not like was how all of the exciting material did not happen until the very end. The realization of who the kidnapper was the last thing to happen and nothing else happened after that. I also enjoyed how the story was written. The author’s way of writing was easy to read. I would read multiple chapters at a time because I never found a good place to stop. I recommend this book to others. It is a great mystery story and is very interesting. Others also believe the same thing. For example, Heather Gudenkauf, a New York Times bestselling author called the novel, “A heart-stopping thriller that had me guessing to the very end.” I rate Girl Last Seen a 8.5 out of
