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

She was upset about what had happened there and was angry that she was treated so unfairly. At the moment, she was kicking at the sidewalk with her head bowed. It was then when she bumped into Lillian Jean Simms. “‘Well apologize’, she ordered. ‘… ‘Okay’ I said starting past, ‘I’m sorry.’, ‘That ain’t enough, get down on the road. … You can’t watch where you’re going , get in the road. Maybe that way you won’t be bumping into decent white folks with your nasty little self’ ” (Taylor 113-114) . Cassie was hot, and her stubbornness and pride did not help. Mr Simms told her that if his gal, Lillian Jean asks for Cassie to get down on the sidewalk, she had to. Out of anger and hate, Mr. Simms, like Lillian Jean, ordered Cassie to apologize immediately. Cassie refused and argued that she had already apologized. She did not want to get down on the road for a crime as small as bumping into a white person. Then, in the heat of the argument, as if on cue, Big Ma came. Cassie was relieved. She expected Big Ma to stand up for her and for them to have eachother’s backs in the fight. However, Big Ma did the opposite, she did the unthinkable. She made her apologize. “‘ Big Ma!’ I balked. ‘Say it child.’ … A painful tear slid down my cheek and my lips trembled, ‘ I'm sorry M-Miz Lillian Jean’ ’’( Taylor 115). Even if Cassie lost this battle, she still stood up for herself, and as fearless and brave. It is impossible to

Ben’s Purpose in the Drama (Consider how his appearances give meaning to the drama as a foil* to Willy.)

This quote shows that Cassie really cared about what happened to Papa and wanted to fight against who did it because she new it was wrong.When people are fighting against you sometimes you have to work to gather to stop it.

Before Cassie Bernall became a Christian, she was an outsider at school. Cassie had written letters to a friend about how she could kill her parents, Brad and Misty Bernall, and end all of her problems. Cassie's parents found the letters, made copies of them, and gave them to the police department. When Cassie got home from school, her parents confronted her. After the confrontation, the Bernall's broke all of Cassie's ties with her friends. The Bernall's enrolled Cassie in a Christian school. Cassie was not allowed to answer the phone and no longer had any privileges. She was allowed to go to a youth group, but that was all she could do. Her parents even went as far to put a monitor on their phone so they could know what she was doing when they weren't home. Cassie had lost all of the trust that she earned from her parents. Misty Bernall didn't go back to work so that she could watch over Cassie. Cassie had her backpack searched, her phone calls monitored, and her bedroom searched. Furtively investigating their daughter, they say,

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.

Finally, Cassie had little-to-no human contact before she was shot in the leg and saved by Evan Walker but she still did not hesitate to kiss him, cuddle, fight, or anything that a normal couple would do. After fighting with each other, “Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand against his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck…” Despite Cassie being shot in the leg by an unknown shooter, aliens trying to take over the Earth, her brother being taken, and her family being dead, she is still a teenage girl who enjoys male interaction.

Courageous is a quality portrayed by these three incidents throughout the story. One, the Barnett store in Strawberry, two when cassie beat up Lillian Jean, and three, when Cassie led her younger siblings by herself to reach their home. These three incidents show that courageous is a trait that well describes Cassie. This first incident that shows Cassie’s courage takes

Gradually, Ben overall becomes sensitive to the environment. The sadness has overwhelmed him and left him a primitive form. He becomes impaired in the way that he relies on a caretaker and is unable to recapture the memories of himself after he’s gone. Once Ben becomes missing, people don’t search for him but instead call to ask where he has been. After about a week everyone in his life ceases to call or look. Annie is the only one to evoke the memories of Ben, the disabled man who became primitive

I think that Cassie’s innocence went away over the course of this chapter because of the reasons above. So in result of this I think that Cassie has learned a lot about the world she is living

Cassie befriended Lillian, learned all of her secrets, and beat her up to make her apologize. Cassie was getting tired, so she threw Lillian’s books on the ground. Cassie took Lillian to the woods after being nice to her, doing things for her, and fought her, pulling her hair until she said she wouldn’t tell her father about it. In order for Cassie to win, Cassie said, “Make me.” This may have seemed like a not so good idea, but if this plan had backfired, Cassie knew that in the end, the results could’ve been deadly for her and her

Figurative language is used to emphasize Cassie and her emotions in her experiences and interactions and how she learns from that. Epiphany is used to convey how both Cassie and Stacey learned from their mistakes and simultaneously grew from said mistakes. Many other characters in this book go through an experience they could learn from, but don’t learn from it (e.g. T.J.). But, Stacey and Cassie, thanks to their parents they learn from their mistakes and experiences and get a life lesson along with it. Taylor's book displays a variety of themes but the most prominent theme is that making mistakes is part of life, and is okay, but it is important that you learn from those mistakes and grow from
