Summary Of The Adoration Of Jenna Fox

As Joclyn grew to the age of two years old she began to move on foot. Trying to walk was a struggle for her.

Before Charlie Ward’s death, Jenna was very close with her friends and her boyfriend. Her father’s death affects her relationships because she starts to separate herself from others because she needed a longer time to grieve. For example the novel states, “She doubted she’d ever want to go to another party for as long as she lived. At parties she would have to pretend everything was fine, as if her father’s death had just been some brief interruption in her life…” In that quote, Jenna does not want to see any of her peers because she still feels empty inside. Also, Jenna hates when people are sympatheic to her and she does not want to have anyone tell her they know how she feels. With her boyfriend, Jenna starts to have panic attacks around

Imagine waking up from a "coma only knowing your name & your family. Well, Jenna Fox went through this, and is trying to recover her past.

The moment she got trampled under the stomps and shoves of others, one could identify what she’d been feeling like previously - a witness to her own inconvenience. This incident not only exemplifies but also symbolizes the burden she feels having been born handicapped, unable to provide assistance or gain to the world. These feelings Adahs has for her life are later rebutted by her longstanding dreams of attending medical school and improving science. By achieving her academic potential, she finally recognized herself as an important asset to the world- no longer being seen as handicapped, physically or mentally.

This poem really intrigued me with its use of repetition and the message it was trying to convey to its readers. The narrator of this poem seems to depend on another person to give him directions. After reading the poem, I realized that there was a connection between the narrator of this poem and Jenna in the Adoration of Jenna Fox. Both Jenna and the narrator seemed to be lacking an independent train of thought. The “old” Jenna was dependent on her parents to make her decisions while the narrator of this poem seem to follow whatever commands he is told to do so by the other unknown person in the poem. Having your own judgment and opinion will be the differentiating factor between you and the next person.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them”, says Maya Angelou, an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist. This quote reflects to Sarah’s journey in the novel Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, since the main character, Sarah, faces events that affect her well being, as they make her both weaker and stronger. These events causes her to lose her innocence, makes her persistent, and then eventually drives her to be pessimistic. Sarah experiences traumatic events through her journey, which leads her to change both in a positive and negative way.

Jenna Frasier is a freshman at William Jewell College. Last year, she was a senior at Fort Osage High School and I believe she is the kindest Kansas Citian. I think this for many reasons. First, she volunteers! She was in Student Council, National Honor Society, and was the student body president in high school. And I have no doubt that she has continued to help others in college.

People with disabilities are not completely gone. They are still there and have a mind of their own. They feel emotions and sometimes have a more complex mind than others. Two authors help enlighten this idea that disabled people are much more than helpless bodies. Both Christy Brown and Jean-Dominique Bauby perfectly illustrate their lives and what it is like to be disabled, and they prove by their stories that they think and feel, and can even develop enough to share what they feel with the world. My Left Foot is about the journey of a boy suffering from cerebral palsy. His entire life he was labeled as a loss cause by doctor after doctor, but his mom never gave up hope. Slowly, he started showing signs of development by random movements responding to certain situations. In the end he ends up being able to communicate with his left foot. The next story, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, is about an individual who suffered a stroke at the age of 43, leaving him paralyzed, only able to blink his left eye as communication. He develops his own alphabet inspired by the French language in order to exchange conversations with others. His thoughts in the story jump from the present, him currently disabled, and the past, when he was not. Both memoirs, with very different stories, show the lives of two individuals that are not like others. One who had their disability since birth, and the other who obtained one after a tragic event. In My Left Foot by Christy Brown and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby, both authors use characterization to show readers the struggles of disabled people and help them understand that just because they can’t use motions such as hand gestures to express how they feel, doesn’t mean that they don’t think and feel.

Disabilities within the characters of “The Life You Save May be Your Own” by Flanner O’Connor

Lucy Grealy tells a story about not fitting in, unbearable pain that takes up residence in one’s head as loneliness and confusion, questioning what things mean, being scared and lost in your family, enduring intense physical pain, and most importantly, figuring out who you are. Lucy had no idea she might die, even though the survival rate for Ewing’s sarcoma was only five percent. She does not present her parents as overly afraid for her life, either. Her autobiography is not a story about the fear of death, but about such courage and anguish. Lucy shows how she falls under the spell of her disability, allowing it to control her life and dictate her future to a greater extent than it would otherwise. Having a disability means that
