I am starting to wonder why the author is giving one of the main characters , Cassie, a sudden change in her trust towards Evan. I somewhat find this quote very funny because Cassie wants to “politely ask him to stand still” (Yancey 331). And that is just something I find funny. I am becoming more upset that the author is now changing Cassie’s feelings towards Evan only because there is nothing left in the world and so now all they have left is each other.
This quote also indicates why she didn't kill Evan Walker when her survival rule is to trust no one. Physically Cassie is at her best she is the most physically acme of her body though she still has the bullet hole where she was shot but she also is more confident at shooting and many other things due to her time spent with Evan Walker. She is much more emotionally sound she has come to terms with Evan being an alien. She and Evan make it to the complex and rescue Sammy and
Sophie Biyoya Ciardulli is the main character in the book, “Endangered”, by Eliot Schrefer. She is the daughter of Florence Biyoya, who is Congolese, and an Italian-American dad. Her mother had always thought of protecting bonobos as her top duty in life, so it was no surprise when she chose staying in Congo to develop her bonobo sanctuary rather than returning to the U.S. with her husband and daughter, after Sophie’s dad is transferred to Miami, Florida by his company for a job. Sophie attends school in America, but spends summers with her mother. Sophie had always been angry and hurt by the fact that her mother was the reason her parents divorced, but when she meets Otto, she transitions slowly in opinion and grows in acceptance of her mother’s
T.J. Avery was a rotten thirteen-year old who only wanted attention and would do almost anything to get it. He cheated her brother out of a coat and even made Mama lose her job. From the start of the book you can see that Cassie doesn’t like T.J., but as she grows and matures, you can see her start to care for him. T.J. showed up badly injured one night at the Logan house and Cassie risked her life to get him home and ensure that at least for that night that T.J. would be safe. He had been around two people that committed a crime and if he wasn’t kept safe, he would’ve been hung. T.J. was never really kind to Cassie, but the way she got him home shows that T.J. really was a part of Cassie’s life and that she wanted him to be, therefore making her gamble her life as well as her siblings’ lives to protect him. Cassie got him home safely and made sure to keep her siblings quiet and out of harm’s way so that even if T.J. was not guaranteed safe, she made sure that anyone she was liable for, she kept safe. Even after the incident, Cassie went home and just processed everything, and for her age, she reacted well. She knew how to get her information and how to proceed with it as to keep her composure and to not let it overwhelm
One main reason I chose to annotate this page is that it gives us a lot of important aspects of Cassie’s character. Not only the dialogue shows this, but Cassie’s own thoughts as well. As she is speaking with Brogden, Cassie states that she “did my best to answer Brogden’s questions without popping him with my free hand”. This shows that even though Cassie is speaking with Brogden hoping to join their camp for the safety of her family and herself, she is resistant and untrusting. Brogden asks them why they’re here (at the camp), and Cassie responds, “you mean at this camp, or are you being existential?”. Brogden is confused, and Cassie continues, saying “if you’d asked me that before all this”...”happened, I’d have said something like, ‘We’re here to serve our fellow man or contribute to society.’ If I wanted to be a”...”I’d say, ‘Because if we weren’t here, we’d be somewhere else.’ But since all this”...”has happened, I’m going to say it’s because we’re just dumb lucky”. This shows that she has a mildly sarcastic and snarky side to her personality. Another very important detail we learn from this statement is that even though it’s the ‘apocalypse’, Cassie seems very unafraid and unintimidated by people and situations that most people would panic in. She possesses the ability to poke fun at even the most stressful of
Cassie in The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey overcomes her fears in order to get back to her brother. She is a very bright young girl that hangs out with her friends and plays soccer. Her friends try to hook her up with a guy she has a crush on during soccer practice. During practice one of her friends gets on her phone and finds a live video of the mothership.
To begin with, Cassie always thinks about Sammy’s safety before her own. Throughout the book, Cassie was dedicated to keeping her brother safe until the point where the siblings were separated. Once Sam is taken away from Cassie, her original mission is
She meets her savior, Evan Walker, who tells her they are in his rural country house, and he'd found her on the highway, crawling in blood. Cassie insists that she must go to Camp Haven to save her brother, but Evan is unsure that she is fit enough for the journey yet, and so they stay. Over time, the two grow closer. One night, Cassie and Evan get into a fight, but Evan ends it by saying that Cassie saved him, rather than vice versa, and kisses her. Sammy Sullivan, Cassie's brother, has arrived at Camp Haven via the bus on which he was taken.
“I have learned that something happens when one makes herself available to God: He starts moving in ways no one could imagine” (Davis 43). Such was the case for Katie Davis in her heart-warming novel, Kisses From Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption, co-written by Beth Clark. Katie’s nonfiction memoir speaks passionately about her move to Uganda: here she strengthened her relationship with Jesus, adopted thirteen little Ugandan girls, started a nonprofit ministry, and so much more. Katie’s unique journey teaches about sacrifice for the Lord our God and about following Him wholeheartedly with reckless abandonment. Consequently, Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis is a hopeful story that teaches readers about God’s love for us, and
To continue, he gave away a piece of himself that many would say: he wouldn’t get back, because tomorrow is never a certainty, and that’s especially true for them now. But a 5-year-old, a little 5-year-old, gave away a piece of himself, for someone that was the bigger piece of himself. Most kids, would never surrender their childhood, because they want to hold on, but as long as Sammy had the promise by Cassie herself; he had hope, and because of that: he wouldn’t let himself believe the world was going to fall, at least not yet, ”How old is Cassie? ' Cassie’s sixteen. They’re going back to get her,' '
shown to like Jeremy to a certain extent for who he is and not just
These specific moments within the story allow the reader to find a sense of a need for reconciliation between the two sisters' relationship. Healing and allowing each other to become a stronger duo like they once were can be seen once Cassie comes back to Truth. As a result, Helen and Cassie begin to allow themselves to revisit the past rather than stay upset with each other for the rest of their lives. A prime example of this can be seen when Cassie tells Helen to wash each other's hair in the salon like in the old days, back when they were kids “You wash mine and I’ll wash yours”. This is a big step for Cassie to make, and it allows the reader to see how Cassie is trying to mend their relationship rather than run away.
Little does Cassie know, there is one person who is willing to risk his life to help her save her brother, Evan Walker.
The novel revolves around two women, Mariam and Laila. The novel takes place during a terrible time to live in Afghanistan, but things were especially hard for women. Their lives brought together and are forced to live through unimaginable situations. At first, they didn’t get along, but then a beautiful friendship began. Their friendship would eventually be their salvation. They both experienced incredible character development. Mariam and Laila’s childhoods were very different, which is explains their characteristics in the novel. Laila’s modern upbringing gave her courage, which inspired Mariam to take action in both of their lives.
Also, aunt Cassie can relate to that understanding. She even says something along those lines in the novel. ““Just be careful what you give away,” says auntie Cassie. “There are some things you want to keep.””(King p. 259). Even though in this quote she is talking about the giveaway, it is very clear that there is a deeper meaning behind her statement. In her past, or as aunt Cassie says, ““Another life,” she says. “Another time.”” (King p.259), Mia had a huge influence on her. Although it was never stated in the book Mia is her daughter who she had given up for her own personal reasons. Even though Thomas King never revealed the details of that situation, it had a huge affect on aunt Cassie. For example, in the quote where she is warning to watch what you give up, it tells you she has regrets over something she has given up. Aunt Cassie most likely gave up Mia for adoption and has not been able to fully let go. Even though she tries to forget, this event will forever have an affect on her identity because she gave up a part of herself. This explains why she would send Tecumseh random presents for girls; she would do it subconsciously when reminded of Mia on her
The further ‘off the rails’ Cassie goes, the more extreme the sexual situations, at one point ‘courting’ a female and then a few minutes after the female leaves a male arrives. “Sexuality strongly influences people’s identity.” (Op. cit. p.22) And at this point in the series we find that Cassie has a very mixed up idea about who she is and what she wants.
