In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, a thirteen year old boy named Brian is flying in a plane to visit his father, when the pilot has a heart attack and the plane crashes. Brian survives the crash and is forced to live in the wilderness of the Canadian forest. Throughout this book, the author, Gary Paulsen, shows time and time again that no matter how rough things get, never give up. “He ripped at it until it released… somehow he pulled himself out” (29). This is an example from the beginning of the story from when Brian crash landed in a lake and tore himself out.

Captain Beck, the Nazi soldier billeting in Vianne’s house, compliments Isabelle on her beautiful blonde hair. Out of complete desperation, Isabelle grabs a pair of scissors and cuts off her ponytail. She then hands the dislocated clump of hair to the Nazi general. Captain Beck’s living situation has Isabelle absolutely livid and she is unable to see the innocence that lies in his comment. Her actions are motivated by frustration, as she is undeniably troubled by the war facing her country and wants to make a contribution. Beck’s presence in her sister’s home limits her capabilities and she finds herself unable to take action of any sort. Additionally, she views Captain Beck as a personal enemy as he is the only German soldier she has ever

In the book “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen. it shows how a young boy named Brian survived the woods by himself. It shows a lot of things the way he act, survived, and even thought. The biggest thing to me was the way he changed. He starts out as a lazy city boy then becomes a brave man.

Curt Flood is a very significant figure, on and off the field. His work to end MLB conflicts, specifically the reserve clause, was settled over a long, and rather difficult compromise. Flood's fight is said to be "devastating, and worth more than $100,000 a year." That monetary amount was his salary he was willing to give up to continue to fight for what would soon end in a compromise in a significant sports conflict. This wasn't the only thing Flood lost either. Flood quotes "I lost money, coaching jobs, and a shot at the Hall of Fame." This represents how much he was willing to give up, as Flood also quotes "I'm a human being I'm not a piece of property. I am not a consignment of goods." As Curt Flood says this, he makes a comparison with

Out of all the many characters, I think that Zach Powers is a character that has not changed a bit throughout the book. I think this because Zach keeps pranking Capricorn almost every single day, and that proves that he still likes to make fun of Cap, and other losers. Zach's personality hasn't changed either because he's still selfish. This is because he doesn't want to lose his popularity, so he is his doing anything in his power to stay popular, even if it involves hurting other student's feeling. This is why he is sending Cap to meetings that don't even exist, and shooting spitballs in his hair.

He's Always thinking about his family like when a cop car showed up to his front door stated in the book "In fact when Arthur looked out the window and saw a cop car pulling into his driveway late on Monday afternoon, his fist panicked thought was something bad had happened to his mom and Barbara". The Reason Arthur Owens is so possessive is because he loved his dad and when his dad died and threw all his dad's stuff out he got enraged. he thought of all of his dad's stuff as his stuff and no

"Zeena herself, from an oppressive reality, had faded into an insubstantial shade." This quote from the perspective of the main character, Ethan Frome illuminates Edith Wharton's theme and message of silence, the working force in the novella which tares the characters apart. It is Ethan and Zeena who, unhappily married, remain together to appease their community while their thoughts continue to remain unsaid, silenced to maintain the lies that lay in the innermost parts of themselves, changing their character beyond redemption. It is this silence that Ethan continues to uphold which cripples him, trapping him in a depression that emits the loudest cry of grief. This significant factor in the narrative intrigues the thought "is it better to

In the novel The Things They Carried Tim O'Brien often brings up Jimmy cross’s love for Martha and how he struggles expressing they way feel feels about her. “Right then he thought he should’ve done something brave”(O’Brian 5) Cross felt much regret because he did not act on his feelings. He did not have the courage to express his love they way he wanted to towards Martha. Jimmy Cross, who had been in love with Martha for quite sometime even though she didn't feel the same way tried to play it off as if he had gotten over her.

Sue Monk Kidd has introduced very complex, yet simple characters that can be easily related to by many readers of the novel. Rosaleen has a tough exterior, but truly cares for Lily Owens, as T.Ray Owens is unpleasant, and considered to be abusive toward Lily. Further on, we have Zachary Taylor, a handsome, charismatic football player while working for August in her honey house develops feelings for Lily, as there’s June Boatright with a heart of gold, yet is distrusting in regards to Lily at first. These character are just a few of the many that entail the plot, and make them relatable. Although, like I said Sue Monk Kidd has developed many character that we can relate to, I believe I relate to Lily Owens the most in “The Secret Life of Bees.”

When Cole and Peter came back from the island, they weren’t able to follow their rituals. If I were in their situation I would have tried staying in a quiet room in my house to clear out my mind, sit in a bathtub with cold water for the pond, and listen to music for rolling the ancestor rock. The new rituals that they tried were sitting in a freezer for soaking, carried bowling balls for the ancestor rock, and sat at a park to become invisible. These rituals did work because Cole never went back to jail and Peter didn’t have ideas to commit suicide. For clearing out my mind and trying to become invisible, I would have sat in my room where it is quiet.

The biggest belief that Chris McCandless has is that trust is essential to have a relationship with someone. This idea became clear to me in chapter twelve when I saw the quote that McCandless had highlighted in his book saying, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry,” and then the author mentions that McCandless wrote the word “truth” at the top of the page (page 117). From the fact that McCandless wrote and highlighted these words means that the quote is important, and the word truth was significant to him. Therefore, I can see that McCandless agrees with this quote and values truth more than any amount of money or love. Truth is something obviously something McCandless cant live without and I think this is because of his relationship with his dad. McCandless’s father wasn’t truthful with his family in chapter twelve when the author said, “Long after falling in love with Billie, long after she gave birth to Chris, Walt continued his relationship with Marcia in secret, dividing his time between two households” (page 121). In this quote we can see that

The men that go off and face war have not changed from back then to modern day today. They not only face different battles because of new technology, yet they all still love and breathe the same way. It needs to be acknowledged that love never changes and all forms of love are constant throughout life. Love always seemed to be the safety net to our leap of faith with partners in a relationship. Having that scenario play out may seem different... love might have the outer shell of being different but overall in the end, going back to the basics.. This scene is in the intro and is Jimmy cross giving an explanation of why he has the photographs. He goes into depth of how his love is consistent with Martha. He talks about how he thinks about her all the time. He can’t get her out of his
