    Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand

    In 2010, Laura Hillenbrand released a brilliant tribute to a resilient national hero, Louis “Louie” Zamperini, whose story was not widely known at the time. Fast forward four years and this tribute, Unbroken, has been made into a major motion picture and the remarkable story of the Olympian-turned-soldier has reached the masses. In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    The Second Sex By Simone De Beauvoir

    To analyze the gender stereotypes through the female’s traits and male’s traits in OLX Indonesia television commercials “Household” version, as the main theory, the writer uses Simone de Beauvoir’s critical thinking about the construction of gender by the society in feminine’s point of view and how women become what society wants to be because of the social construction about femininity and masculinity. She asserted that, “One is not born but rather becomes, a woman” (Beauvoir 1953, 273). In her book “The Second Sex”, Beauvoir stated about women that actually become women as what society expect them to be because they are taught to do so; women should be like this and not should be like that. Moreover, it told about how men become the ‘Subject’…

    Beauty and the Beast by Mme Le Prince de Beaumont

    The fairy tale Beauty and the Beast opens with the characters of a rich merchant and his six children, three boys and three girls. "The two eldest girls were vain of their wealth and position" (22), but the youngest girl, the prettiest of the three, had a more pleasing personality, humble and considerate. This youngest daughter was so beautiful even as a child that everyone called her Little Beauty. She was just as lovely as she grew up so that she was never called by any other name, a fact that made her sisters extremely jealous. All three girls had numerous marriage proposals - the two eldest always turned their suitors away with the declaration that they had no intentions of marrying anyone less than a duke or an earl. Beauty too always turned her proposals down, but with kindness, answering that she thought herself too young and would rather live some years longer with her father.…

    Fight Against The Black Thing Analysis

    I think the main problem in the story was how to fight against The Black Thing and IT, but Meg, with the help of all the creatures and people that accompanied her in the journey, could win with the power of love because none of them could demonstrate it. I like this story because I have learned that before loving other people we must love ourselves, for example Meg had insecurities at the beginning but through the time she learned how to love and embrace herself that’s why she was able to win against IT by loving Charles…

    Why Experience Is So Important To Meg?

    When Mrs. Who recited the quote, she was explaining why experience is so important to Meg. The quote means that besides having something explained, having experience is the way you earn knowledge. For Meg that meant that she wouldn’t be able to decipher everything until she experienced it, and even then she would have to keep learning about it to fully understand. One time she needed experience to know more is when the three ladies were explaining what tessering was and she just couldn’t understand the concept. Tessering was a very complicated proposition to Meg because it wasn’t tangible and it didn’t seem substantial. It also was a subject that was almost ineffable, so the ladies couldn’t describe it easily. So, in order for Meg to understand,…

    Three Century Women

    In the book, ‘Three Century Woman”, Meghan is considered a round character. I know this because she changes during the story. In the beginning of the story she said “can’t I just stay in the car and do my homework?” (page 10) instead of walking inside to see her great grandma. Towards the end of the book her character did change. She kissed her on the cheek and said that she will come back to visit her again. This tells me that she had changed a lot during the course of the book. At first she wasn’t too thrilled about seeing her great grandma, but by the end she was very open and positive about it .…

    A Wrinkle In Time Analysis

    In A Wrinkle in Time, Meg’s level of self-control changes significantly. Before the change, Meg’s self-control was very low as she would punch people at the smallest taunt. For example, Meg attacked a boy at her school for insulting her brother. In fact, she would let all her common sense escape her mind, and she would just use her instincts. After the change, she would keep her anger to herself, though she would still feel it. For instance, when she felt anger towards her dad for not allowing her to save her brother, she did not act on her feelings. Instead, she gathered support from Aunt Beast, Mrs.Who, Mrs.Which, Mrs.Whatsit.…
