Chrysanthe's Invisible
Reticent. Observant. Invisible. These were the words often associated with the meek child of the Faraday bloodline. Daughter of Richard and Lusia, Chrysanthemum grew up in the shadows of her brothers and sisters who hardly ever acknowledged her entire existence, claiming Chrysanthe was a mistake. In a household of six, the essence of being unseen insinuated to be her past time. Her birth remained an unsolved investigation, as her mother and father would fail to concede on a practical story, thus leaving Chrysanthe’s imagination to run wonders for herself. She envisioned her birth to be on a quiet sunny morning, which took a toll when she was brought into the world, as the winds would pick up from the east upon the last daughter’s arrival. …show more content…
From this intense obsession of Harry Potter, she began to dabble in the art of fanfiction with the main attraction to be Draco and Hermione. She strongly supports them as individuals and ships them since she believes that they would have more chemistry due to their hatred toward each other. They also were light and dark, and opposites do attract. As she began writing the fanfiction entitled Torrid Love at age 15 with the immaturity of the odd teen she was, and she was somehow able to gain traction for her book. At first, she only got about 20 to 30 reads per chapter,along with helpful comments to aid her writing and positive feedback. She didn’t care about the amount of reads, she was ecstatic that people felt the same way about the characters as she did and loved her writing. With the kind reviews, she continue what had been a hobby to a large demand of her writing. Santhe was kind of internet famous, but she would keep this to herself. Her parents wouldn’t care and her siblings would probably just laugh at her face. When she wasn’t writing her book, Santhe’s nose would either be buried in a book or volunteer reading aloud to kids at her local

    Silent people appear to be hiding characteristics about themselves through their quietness. When a person, specifically a woman, is silent, it is perplexing. Her silence is strange and worrisome to the people who care for her. To a reader, one may compare a female character’s silence to a loud noise. It calls for questions to be raised.

In the translated Romance “Silence” by Sarah Roche-Mahdi and the novel “Their Eyes were watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston, the struggle that the main characters deal with is shown throughout their silence. It distances the characters, Silentius and Janie, from the real world by having to hide who they are as…

Third, fourth, and fifth grade I basically lived at Hogwarts (in my rightfully sorted house, of course, I am a proud Hufflepuff). And in middle school, I discovered THE tween series of my generation, Maximum Ride. Reading was exciting, and even though I had done it for years every time I picked up a book it felt so novel. I was your ordinary bookworm until seventh grade when the joint power of Ms. Green’s teaching and James Patterson’s writing broke my will to read.…
