Comparison Between 'Twelve And Not Stupid'
In my opinion, I don't really like this story. It gave us as a reader a negative vibes regarding to their attitude. 'Twelve and not stupid' is very interesting at the beginning. I am wonder what twelve and not stupid is. It is very mysterious. The writer began the story with the character of Auntie May. I feel pity towards Shasha has to wait alone after school time. It will be so dangerous if we let a kid to be alone.If she has been kidnapped, she and her family would be in trouble. Shasha's father should be more alert about it,

Secondly, I am curious with Auntie May. Papa ask Shasha to lied to her mother, for that reason I thought Papa has a scandal with Auntie May. I feel sorry to Shasha because she felt guilty to her mother. She is just

    Book Report: Killing Mr. Griffin

    In conclusion, the story was a thriller. I liked how everybody went through so much to cover their tracks. I was not surprised that in the end they got caught because it was pretty obvious with all the mistakes that they make throughout the novel by leaving footprints and personal belongings at the murder scene. I learned that the teachers who are the most strict and have the highest expectations are the ones who can help you. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend because it was very interesting to…

    So I Aint No Good Girl Analysis

    How they both are acting is not good and not a good way. They need to be more open and with each other. They don’t really tell each other how they feel or anything. The relationship between them was an abusment relationship. Neither one of them was able to be thereselves. Then to where Raheem had so much self-esteem. He had way to much to where it was hard for them to communicate. So the story “So I aint no good girl” by Sharon Flake is magnificent. But I think that the characters would be better. The way they are made is kind of weird. Raheem needs a lot of work and so does the girl. Other than that the characters are good. And the story was a perfect story to…

    A Response to John Updike's A&P

    This story, in all honesty, did not entertain me or stimulate intriguing thoughts. I felt like the author gave a lot of his time to describe the scene and the appearance of characters that there was nothing really going on. I spent most of my time while reading trying to figure out or thinking what certain things looked like rather than anticipating what may be happening next. Overall this story did not engage me nor hold my interest. I did on the other hand find the way Sammy’s attitude to toward the girls rather baffling because here are these three girls, two of which he mentions are overweight and not on the attractive side, and then “Queenie” whom he points out is too pale but yet in a sense “eye candy”. It was strange how he felt a pull towards them as soon as he noticed them and felt the need to quit his job and become their self proclaimed hero. Was he just as strange or just someone who really needs the attention?…

    So I Ain T A Bad Girl Analysis

    The adolescent narrator has a thirst for the love of Raheem. An illustration of how much she loves Raheem is how she is always tolerant of the unfaithful things he does; she doesn’t deserve Raheem; wholeheartedly giving herself to her to Raheem and constantly doing everything for him; the narrator does all these things for him. She will literally do anything for him as long as he is her boyfriend. However he can’t even do as he is continuously unfaithful to her. To sum up, this narrator is a sadly truthful portrayal of a bad girl and her…

    Eleven by Sandra Cisneros

    A short story ‘Eleven’ by Sandra Cisneros dwells upon the memories of an eleven-year-old girl that spends her birthday at school and gets into a discomforting situation with her teacher because of her lack of confidence. In spite of the multiple colloquial phrases and childish expressions, this is a very philosophical piece of writing. It touches upon such global and adult issues as experience, freedom, aging, life and death, knowledge and restrictions. The symbolism is very sophisticated here – under the veiled mask of a simple classroom occasion the writer sets multiple questions. Do people gather enough experience with age? What secret knowledge and power is revealed after each birthday? Can a simple life situation drive one at an older age more efficiently than real calendar time does? The complexity of an eleven-year-old girl (who is almost a teenager, by the way) is derived from the first-person style of narration. The author tries to hide her real wisdom and age through the expressions like “little animal noises” but it still seems not convincing because so many serious questions are being asked in each paragraph of the story. She is very capable in understanding her own emotions and thoughts – an ability that is not very typical for such a young age is eleven. Her descriptions of the surrounding world are very clear and comprehensive; the usage of metaphors is quite mature in spite of the phrasing.…

    The irony of life is that as you grow older you want to experience your youth again, while at the time you are young all you want is to be older. In "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros, Rachel is only eleven years old, yet she would rather be one hundred and two. She feels that the old age will give her the respect and wisdom to be able to stand up for herself. Through the use of point of view and diction, Cisneros develops Rachel's character and shows that despite her youth, Rachel is capable of feeling and expressing ideas and emotions universal to all ages.…

    I really like the story because it reminds me of my classmate who has a sister with a mental retardation. It’s very realistic because nowadays there are lots of cases that are alike with Sam’s including my classmate and her sister. I also like the story because the characters were really great in interpreting their roles specially the person who interpreted Sam’s character. The part of the story that I really like is when Sam told Rita that she is a perfect person and don’t have feelings. It’s like I’m the shoes of Sam because I really felt the emotions that Sean Peen (Sam…
