Summary Of Cinder By Marissa Meyer
I read the book Cinder by Marissa Meyer. This book is the first book of The Lunar Chronicles. The most interesting part of the book was that the author put a lot of twists and turns at the end. My least favorite part of the book was when the main character, Cinder, had witness her stepsister’s death. The author wanted us to learn do not judge from the outside but judge what is on the inside. I like this book because the author puts twist on the Cinderella story. Other student would like this book by how the story is in the future. My question, ’’Is she going to escape?”

    The documentary “Me facing Life; Cyntoia’s Story” is about a young girl named Cyntoia, who is sixteen years old, going through a trail after committing murder; her life and what may have led her to committing so many delinquent acts is also expressed. Throughout the film her family, lifestyle and way of thinking is shown deeply. Still, after seeing the film I feel as if her pathway to delinquency could have been avoidable by just having more supervision, having a better family structure, and even being more active in school. Cyntoia had hit the streets at thirteen, she was a chronic runaway. “I wasn’t running from; I was running to,” she explains now. The streets of Nashville gave her “what I thought was freedom.”…

    Using personal experience, Peggy Orenstein, discusses the impact businesses such as Disney and Mattel have on reinforcing gender roles. The fact that she is a mother discussing her own struggles gives the piece a more casual and personal tone. She is speaking to those like her. Having a conversation with the readers causes the piece to be well-rounded. While she does not address the reader directly the casual nature of the writing allows her to make an argument, bring up questions about the argument and then answer those questions all while simply talking about an experience she had with her own daughter. Also unlike a ‘Scholar of women’s studies’ her main focus is on her daughter. Not political correctness or staying true to her feminist beliefs, but providing the best atmosphere for her daughter.…

    Fallada uses Mia Pinneberg to unveil the challenges associated with the expectations of the “New Woman” in the 1920’s-1930’s.
