Octavia Nino Gryll Analysis
If you want to know the story of Octavia Nino Gryll, you'd better have buckled your seatbelts, because she's a damaged one. Tavi grew up in a corrupted Orphanage for most of her sorry excuse for a life. Getting tired of the terrible and illegal treatment she had escaped the place with five other people when she had just turned 11. They fled the state as fast as they could by bus and landed in a Urban town filled with busybodies and business people to the brim. In that harsh month in the season of winter, two of them died of hypothermia, one of them of starvation, and another was arrested for attempted robbery, of course, in which he did for the remaining two. They made shelter with an old man after a month of begging on the streets for something

Her mother tries to get her to act like the rich kid she is, but the more her mother tries, the more she rejects the idea and rebels. She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family.

    In writing from Grendel’s perspective, I think Gardener is trying to makes us sympathize with Grendel. While reading the story from Grendel’s point of view we can see that he also felt fear at some point in his life. Like when he caught his foot in the crack where two old treetrunks joined Grendel says “I shrieked in fear; still no one came.” In Grendel’s story he says men are dangerous thinking creatures, “Suddenly I knew I was dealing with no dull mechanical bull but with thinking creatures, pattern makers, the most dangerous things I'd ever met”. In his story we can see that they were the ones that made him a monster because they could not understand him. They just saw that he was an ogre an assumed he was a monster, so they attacked him…

    The main character of the novel, Olivia, has not had a steady home environment as she has been shifted to many different foster homes. Although, she is a brilliant student when she is there. Olivia gets arrested for forging some stolen checks and then gets sent to jail. Detention center was her next stop because her foster mom said she was too much work. Ultimately, Olivia serves her time and goes to college, where she is very successful. Olivia’s story is an example of how Corwin structures his book. He uses anecdotes to give readers insight into the students lives. In addition, he organizes the novel into different times of the year so the readers can follow the students in chronological order. Corwin is effective using this strategy because it makes the readers feel apart of the story. The sequencing the novel by seasons and semesters gives readers the feeling that they are apart of the high school. Another strategy Corwin uses is portraying multiple Americas. He does this by showing us the struggle filled lives of most students and the fortunate lives of the others. For example, Toya has to overcome being a teen mother while still getting an education whereas Curt is raised by a single mother, but in Los Angeles’ wealthiest black community. Corwin…

    The protagonist of A Stolen Life is Jaycee Dugard. In this autobiography of her being kidnapped, she expresses her inner emotion and her road to recovery after her captivity. When she was kidnapped she was only 11 years old and when she finally got freed she was 29 years old. At the beginning of A Stolen Life, it was evident that Jaycee was naive. She did not have “the word “rape” in [her] vocabulary,” so she had no idea of what rape was (Dugard 33). Times when she still thought about all the things Phillip did to her, she feels “small and helpless” again (Dugard 33). She was also dependent on Phillip for everything based on her age and her ability to do things. She had no “house... real family...friends” and everything…

She isn’t from this country she’s an immigrant who doesn’t really know much yet and has trouble understanding people. I wish Cleofilas had left her husband, she would’ve been in a better happy place. I just didn’t like how she compared herself to shows because the problems that she watches affects her. It affects her because she has ways of imagining and proving that it relates to her situations. Her child is a way of making her happy in her life, she cares about her child and wants the best for it. I don’t like to see a woman like this cry so much in tears because of the way they’re struggling each day. She had bruises all over her body while being pregnant which is so heartbreaking to think about. Domestic violence still exists at this generation, there’s need to be a stop for this. People who are victims of violence should indeed have ways into getting help. People will succeed and there life will change once getting help. It’s a way to change yourself in a happier way and the society as…

    When she first hears of Eva Smith’s suicide her reaction is ‘Oh - how horrible!’ This is an immediate and genuine response to the suffering of another human being and from this we see she can be sympathetic towards those less fortunate than herself. This also emphasizes her innocence as she fails to understand how someone could drink a fatal disinfectant “by accident”, and shows she can’t imagine someone not having a lot to live for. She is also the first person to show a sense of responsibility as she understands that girls like Eva Smith “aren’t cheap labour - they’re people”. She responds to the girl as a person, not as “cheap labour” and criticizes her…
