Recommended: Z For Zachariah analysis

In class we read the book Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O’Brien. I chose Ann Burden as my character because she portrays different personalities throughout the book. At the beginning of Z for Zachariah, Ann was generous and kindhearted, but at the end of the book, you saw her tough and courageous side. The three adjectives I chose to describe Ann were clever, courageous, and generous. I think these three adjectives accurately describe Ann Burden throughout the book. Generous describes her at the beginning of the book when she welcomes Mr. Loomis into the valley and generously takes care of him. Clever describes Ann in the middle of the book when Ann is hiding from Mr. Loomis and plotting to steal the suit to leave the valley. Courageous describes

For our summer reading assignment, incoming juniors were required to read the famed novel, Zeitoun, written by Dave Eggers. Zeitoun is a non-fictional story about a Muslim-American named Abdulrahman Zeitoun who resides in New Orleans during the events of Hurricane Katrina. Throughout the story, the audience learns to sympathize, while also builds up an instantaneous affection towards Zeitoun. Although, initially I had sympathized for Zeitoun before, the profuse amount of controversy surrounding the truth makes me reconsider why I have ever evoked a strong sense of sympathy for this man. Others argue that Zeitoun should be continued to be read because of the main intention

The first identity is preserved in the book Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, while the other is revealed shortly after in the real world. After this information was released, one can only reevaluate the Zeitoun presented in Zeitoun. Although this new information does not change the actions of Zeitoun during hurricane Katrina, it is impossible to not view Zeitoun differently. The Zeitoun preserved in Zeitoun is described as loving, heroic, and credits his wife with much of his success. After learning the truth, one cannot help but wonder if the Zeitoun described in Zeitoun is a lie.
