In this book characters are born looking “ugly” until their 16th birthday where they get mandatory plastic surgery. After the surgery they are called “pretty” and will live somewhere called New Pretty Land where

“Ugly” is something I said I would refrain from during my campaign for office. I’m going to hold true to that through the election and afterwards‚ win or lose. My reasoning for that is; I know whoever is elected must move forward and serve the citizens‚ regardless of what happens during the campaign‚ whether that be me or one of my opponents.

“GIRL” Jamaica Kincaid In the story “GIRL” Jamaica Kincaid we see the complicated relationship between mother and daughter and what I have derived from this story is that this statement. “Should a mother groom her daughter through trust or through force and fear?” we see that the woman in this story loves her daughter but is so drowned in fear of the world for her daughter that she seems to treat her in very questionable ways while she is teaching her life lessons. So we see that she seems to not

The graphic novel I chose to read this summer was Girl In Dior‚ by Annie Goetzinger. Aside from two graphic novels I read in elementary school‚ Drama and Smile‚ both written by Raina Telgemeier‚ this was the first graphic novel I had read in quite some time.
