In the novel “Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margret Ann Brady,” a Girl by the name of Margaret Ann was given an opportunity to immigrate from Britain to the United states on a new ship known as the Titanic. This was a great opportunity for her because she was an orphan and wanted to be with her brother William in the United States. Ms.Carstairs a women looking for a good child to tag along with her on the journey stumbled upon Margaret and liked her attitude, so eventually she chose her to go along with her. Later in the story, when Margaret was on her journey she met a handsome, young steward, named Robert and they quickly became good friends but eventually their relationship turned romantic. Robert was the character to inform Margaret and Mrs.Carstairs that the ship was sinking. At the end of this story Margaret and Mrs.Carstairs both survived, sadly Robert did not. Though Margaret very much questioned why she survived when thousands of others died she was pleased to be with her brother once again.
The novel, “Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady” was an excellent story and I highly recommend it for both children (9+) and adults. It gave significant detail from the passenger’s point of view and made you feel as if you were in Margaret Ann’s shoes. The novel also gave great amounts of factual history throughout the story. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this novel an 8; only because parts of the novel did tend to get boring for certain periods of times. Overall though the story was great and would definitely recommend

    Every author who writes a novel, portrays their characters using his or her own unique characteristics to form their personality and the role they play. In the novel “We were the Mulvaneys” by Joyce Oates, The Mulvaney family is portrayed as a picture-perfect, successful family living on a farm in Upstate, New York. However, throughout this novel, the characteristics of one character during a horrific incident ruined this family’s trust and respect towards each other. Marianne Mulvaney, who is the only daughter in the family, is characterized as a good-natured, popular, beautiful, Christian. On the night of her prom, Marianne gets raped and fails to press charges against the boy who sexually assaulted her, blaming everything on herself. This incident was the beginning of the family falling apart. I chose this character because the whole aspect of the story revolves around her and her decisions. I dislike that Marianne did not do the right thing in regards to pressing legal charges against the boy, which lead to difficulties in her family. Marianne Mulvaney, although honest and uncritical, made poor decisions that reflected upon her being absurd.…

    And Then I Met Margaret is a non-fiction book about a boy who came from a place where his future was already determined not to go beyond what the mill town offered. The author, Rob White, shocked the neighbourhood by becoming a college boy, a teacher, and eventually a billionaire. He acknowledged that his success in life was not his own and there were people who helped him along the way, though not in material things but in something that mattered to him more – his character. What the author mainly wants to communicate with the reader is that we also have these “unexpected gurus” all around us and it is to our great advantage if we listen to them and let them help us know and grow our inner being.…
