Eight Keys By Suzanne Lafleur
In my book “ Eight Keys” by Suzanne LaFleur, there is a 9 year old girl named Elise. She is living with her aunt and uncle because her parents had previously passed away. One day when playing in her uncle's barn with her best friend Franklin, she finds a key with her name on it. Then she finds 8 rooms that have never been opened up because they were left from her dad, and she doesn't know why. She forgets about the key until her 12th birthday, when she gets her birthday letter from her dad, which he wrote for her before he died. The letter tells her he left something for Elise. She figures out it was the key and that it was for the rooms, but what she finds within the rooms are astonishing, and what the book is about.

    “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid is a short story/poem was published in The New Yorker in 1978. There are many things that the story “Girl” shows us. One is the oppression of women and the lack of the options that women got. Another is the change in parenting techniques as orders like these wouldn’t be issued in today’s world.

    Life can be rough when you don’t stand up for yourself. In the story “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros the main character Rachel has trouble in school on her birthday when the teacher Mrs. Price puts a sweater on her desk and mistakes it for Rachels. I believe the overall theme of this story explores being able to stand up for yourself. Being able to stand up for yourself is a big deal but Rachel won’t. At the start of “Eleven” Rachel doesn’t stand up for herself, and is very shy about telling the teacher that the sweater isn’t hers.…

A social commentary and an amount of satire over exaggerated to prove a point about society. Disney movie story lines are not a form of reality they are written scripts of fiction. The author immediately introduces "expectation vs. reality" through Carol.…
