I can relate this book to my life in many ways; it was easier for me to relate to this book because were both 18 year old girls who want to live life the right way. Also I don’t want to live life trying to be like everyone else, so this was really encouraging to me. A part that helped me was the part about confidence and how important that is. Its important to have confidence in your faith because say you get in a situation you can protect your faith and stand up for what you believe. Another part that I can really apply to my life was how when people were talking about her she didn’t even beg to know. Personally whenever I hear that someone was talking about me, I really want to know what they said! This helped me to learn that why fill my brain with negativity sinful gossip, because that’s not what Jesus would do.

Main purpose and idea of the story. The idea that reading is freedom that can never be taken away from you. The book just could not have put all of these exclusive scenes and characters that brought out the purpose of the story within six measly chapters. Overall, the movie better explained the purpose of story that took place in a time when “It’s against the law for a Negro slave to read!”
Although this book had no major affect on me, I learned how a boy can go through traumatic experiences and still have the will power to keep going on. That was the only thing that really affected me in the whole book.

In the first place, she was developed to be secretive because of her loneliness, but befriending Jacob, Norman, and Paul makes her more social, which showed that life is better with sociability. This portion of the novel helped state that, "She looked surprised as though she couldn't believe she had talked so much " ( from page 131). Hannah is generally secretive and lonely, for she lost her family and was made as an example for her lost ears, but when she found out that Jacob was caring and friendly, she decided to trust him and answer his questions. Afterward, she was surprised and stopped, as if waking up from a dream but did not regret it totally. What we should discern from that, Finding a caring friend could change the reality. Moreover, their friendship then developed, and they got to be a family. In the second place, Hannah was unpredictable but did not point to it directly, yet exposed it for her friends, she did all she could. That was stated indirectly in the section on page 161, " She looked at the faces around her – Jacob, Oteka, Paul – and it was as though she began to draw strength from their courage emanating from them and enveloping her. " What Hannah only needed to reveal her real personality and impulsiveness was some courage from her friends, that she loved and cared for, which she read in their eyes. So, McKay delivered " friendship is strong " by making Hannah impulsive. If she was designed to be calm or shy, Norman would not have made it, or even Jacob, sacrificing it to save his friend. Hannah was described in that figure to enhance the idea of friendship's power in

The most important passage was how Lilly felt because it helped people understand how she felt about the post and comments that were made about her. The most important feeling is how the post and comments made Lilly feel. It was important because she was the one getting picked on and bullied but no one knew how she felt and what she wanted to do. No one knew it was hurting her and affecting her except for herself. I think middle schoolers should read this book because bullying and cyberbullying mostly happens at middle schools since they think they can do whatever they want without thinking. I also think maybe 5th and up should read this book because it will help them learn from it and know it won't be okay. I don't think 4th and down should read this book because they probably won’t understand it and won’t learn much of it since their still
Hemmingway wrote this story in a unique fashion. The book is written with no apparent plot, that is, there are not twists, intrigue, or goals for the characters. The plot is simply the story itself.

While works on collective memory are often interested in the manifestation of such memories (that is, how collective memory is represented), Jelin advances that concern should also be raised on how these very representations change with time and relate to positionality. As she states:
Memory of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. Clarissa Dalloway and Peter Walsh are defined by their memories. Virginia Woolf creates their characters through the memories they share, and indeed fabricates their very identities from these mutual experiences. Mrs. Dalloway creates a unique tapestry of time and memory, interweaving past and present, memory and dreams. The past is the key to the future, and indeed for these two characters the past creates the future, shaping them into the people they are on the June day described by Woolf.
In “when nostalgia was a disease” Julie Beck, describes true nostalgia. The swiss soldiers would hear a familiar milking song and would immediately be reminded of home. These soldiers would long to go home, often the only way to “cure” this disease would be to send them home. That was nostalgia then and is nostalgia today. We are on the verge of changing the definition of nostalgia. Our attitude has softened and changed since the day of “terrorizing” the nostalgia out of them. I argue too much of a change has happened
