The number one criminal in the Republic of America is the main suspect in the murder of one of the military’s captains. This caption just so happens to be a young prodigy, June’s, older brother. She sets out to find Day, the suspect, which unravels lots of truth behind the government. One can analyze Legend by Marie Lu by relating the book to a song, relating to the setting and character, analyzing a theme, and describing five aspects of the plot. To begin, the song “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift can relate to the book. “Did you have to do this? I was thinking that you could be trusted” (Taylor) hints about how Taylor Swift felt a little betrayed. Similarly, June trusted Thomas to set an example, and do the right thing, however, she later finds that he betrayed her. The quote “Still got scars on my back from your knives. So don’t think it’s in the past. (Taylor) explains how June felt when she found out the truth about the government and decides to betray them. Furthermore, the story is taken place in the future in Los Angeles, California. The setting reminds me of New York City. There are poor and wealthy sections, and just like in the book, there are big screens all over the place. These screens, or jumbotrons, project the news and other important announcements for everyone to see …show more content…
Day and June both love and would do anything for their family. To exemplify, when June finds out her beloved brother Metias was killed, she sets out to find Day and make sure he received his punishment. Then, when Day was taken from his family he still risked his life to make sure his family was okay. “‘What do you mean they’re coming for my family?’... he leaps to his feet, pinpoints the direction that the sirens are coming from, and darts out of the alley” (Lu 146). Continuing on with the theme of family, just like Day, if my family was in trouble, in any way, I would do anything. No matter what would happen, if my family was safe that’s what would

This book took place in the present time. It was mostly in Madison in Andy's high school and Madison Community College.
As an essay, “Our Secret” shows the power of a writer’s voice—the scenes are few and spare in its forty-eight pages—but it’s mesmerizing. Despite its innovative braided structure, Griffin’s essay is much like a rather classical reflective essay. Somehow Griffin achieves narrative drive with her segmented approach, perhaps because of her interesting juxtapositions, intense focus, and the quiet power of her language as her family’s own story unfolds alongside those of war criminals and victims.
This book has many different settings. The main setting of this book would be described as a small town. In this small town, it is very similar to Norton, Virginia. It is similar to Norton because everybody knows everyone and everyone knows about all the gossip right after it happens. The other settings include the party where Anna and Ellen drank before driving drunk. The crash site would be a significant setting in my opinion because it is where the most tragic event happened. I would conclude the hospital, where Ellen spent almost a month and Anna only spent a few days. I would also conclude Ellen’s

The reader is put in the middle of a war of nerves and will between two men, one of which we have grown up to learn to hate. This only makes us even more emotional about the topic at hand. For a history book, it was surprisingly understandable and hard to put down. It enlightened me to the complex problems that existed in the most memorable three months this century.
This novel has received world wide acclaim though critics have always expressed reservations on the violence it depicts. The novel unveil the violence of manifest destiny by following the tracks of the protagonist named the Kid in a 1849-50 setting. The runaway kid whose mother had died at child birth falls foul of the law and within no time, the tendency towards violence that is inherent in him is revealed.

With time, the young teenager comes into contact with other outlaws such as Ben Tobin and Toadvine and it is the latter who cajoles him to join the Glanton gang.
The characters are impacted by the setting sharply because it both closes and opens possibilities as the story moves forward. At first, the setting is in Sylvan, South Carolina. The author describes Sylvan simply by stating, “…population 3,100. Peach stands and Baptist churches, that sums it up.” Clearly the setting here is not exactly note-worthy; however, quite a few events happen. Lily, the main character, lives with her father T-Ray and her opportunities are

The novel is based in Harlem, New York in a time where racial problems were at an all time high. Racism is a major theme in the novel and Baldwin makes it abundantly clear. The largest problem with the case is that Officer Bell is “a blatant racist.” (Baldwin, 139).
Through vivid yet subtle symbols, the author weaves a complex web with which to showcase the narrator's oppressive upbringing. Two literary
One of the main symbols of the story is the setting. It takes place in a normal small town on a nice summer day. "The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day; the flowers were blooming profusely and the grass was richly green." (Jackson 347).This tricks the reader into a disturbingly unaware state,
Toni saw this opportunity to write this particular article into a novel to show people how the days of slavery were and the sacrifices those that had run away would make if they stood a chance to be recaptured. The novel also introduces us to the spirits of the souls that were lost and how they never rested in peace until they finished what they had left behind. Toni really captures the audience’s attention in this particular novel.
