Nora is a very headstrong, and curious girl who doesn’t know when to stop even when things get dangerous and her falling for the “bad boy” of the school doesn’t help her out much when things get out of hand. Just about every teenage girl can relate to falling for the bad boy, something about the way they dress and act makes many girls swoon. Speaking of the bad boy, Patch has the looks and the attitude to match and as hard as he tries to push Nora away she always comes back and eventually he ends up falling for her and saving her life when Elliot shows up. Elliot is a clean nice looking boy who goes to a prep school, he tries to make Nora fall for him by taking her out and buying her things and it works until he screws it all up and letting his true colors show when he gets drunk. This can be relatable to many people as well when it comes to having a crush, the person of interest is paying no attention or completely blowing off any attempt being made to draw his or her attention until someone else starts showing interest in the person who has the crush and then they start showing interest into the new person instead of the original crush. The crush then starts to show interest because they see the attention has shifted away from them and they don’t like that, they want all eyes on them. Many can also relate by thinking that they truly know someone until they do something stupid or out of character like getting drunk and they start harassing someone because they were only trying to really get one thing from a certain person the whole time and then throw them to the side when they get it. There are many other characters in Hush, Hush that everyone can possibly

    Organisations such as the public services can only run effectively if authority is working at all levels. There are many types of authority which are used in a variety of situations, and at a variety of levels. In some situations if lives are at risk there is no time for discussion, the leader will say what needs doing and the subordinates will do it. On another level there will be situations where the person in authority might appreciate some advice and consult other team members, before making a final decision.…

    Her father suffers from manic depression, Wren is always partying, their mom wants to start a relationship with them, Cath’s writing professor fails her on a paper because it uses copyrighted characters, and Cath starts to like Levi, Reagan’s ex-boyfriend who is always hanging around the room. Her life becomes a balancing act with her home life, school work, and social life all on the line. Through her struggles, she learns how to let go, be her own person, and find what makes her happy. The novel has been very popular among readers. Kimberlyfaye writes a review that highlights Rowell’s ability to write a relatable, interesting, and well-developed novel that will enthrall the reader with its character and story. I agree with kimberlyfaye’s review of Fangirl in that overall, the way the story and characters were woven together was very interesting and enjoyable. However, I disagree that some of the techniques used to tell the story were pleasurable and, therefore, necessary. Fangirl was written with a story and characters that entice the reader, but also with some techniques that could hinder the reader’s…

Finnie and Paul have a few things in common, such as their passion for hockey, but they were (for the most part) complete opposites. Paul's family has a struggle with money throughout the duration of the novel, while Finnie's family is quite wealthy. After Mr.Woodward's accident, Finnie is struggling to escape the guilt; meanwhile, Paul is able to let it go. Finnie is a risk taker along with being very outgoing; but on the contrary, Paul is very timid and takes everything in stride.

    I absolutely love how Laurie Halse Anderson is able to easily put herself into the mind-set of a teenager and write in a way that we are able to relate too. Melinda’s words and actions actually sound like something a teen would say or do. Too many times I have been forced to read a book that I am not able to relate to or make connection with in my own life. Contemporary literature, like Speak is a lot easier to for high school students to understand and apply. This is one of the many reasons why I am so interested in reading more books by this writer. I recently checked out the book Winter Girls by the same author and I’m sad to say I do not love it as much as Speak. The summaries and reviews I read online made it sound amazing!…

Hoping for someone to listen, to help, to guide. Melinda Sordino from the novel Speak was full of sarcastic wits and funny remarks. One problem. It is all in her mind. She doesn’t talk. Refuses to break her silence. Will not speak up. Melinda is practically a mute since the incident that that happened to her August of Melinda’s 8th grade summer. Melinda's attempt to break the social construct of conformity leads to her becoming isolated from family and classmates, as well as pushing her into a deep depression and painful silence.…
