Kaylee Dunham Character Summary

407 Words1 Page

The character I have chosen to describe is Kaylee Dunham from the book NEED by Joelle Charbonneau. NEED is a new website, only for students of Nottawa High School. It is invitation only and extremely anonymous. Kaylee gets an invitation from her friend Nate, and decides to join. The website asks students what they need or really things they want. Then it gives them small tasks to complete to earn their request. Kaylee asks for a kidney for her sick brother, but doesn’t receive a task in return. This is because a kidney is a legitimate need, unlike a new iPhone. I believe that Kaylee is a very loving and caring person because she never asked NEED to do something for her, but for her brother. She will do anything for her brother, DJ. She has

    Critique on Kirstie Laird. Orange Girl I chose to critique and analyze the work of Kirstie Laird. I liked the variety of her works, and the bright, brilliant colors in most of them. I think the one that fascinated me most, however, was “Marionette” because it didn’t have any of the orange colors or motifs prominent in her other works. This puzzled me, since the title of her showing was “Orange Girl” and every other picture in the showing fits the title well.

  • Analysis Of Discovering Kay Ryan

    1191 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ryan reminds us of the suggestive power of poetry–how it elicits and rewards the reader’s intellect, imagination, and emotions. I like to think that Ryan’s magnificently compressed poetry – along with the emergence of other new masters of the short poem like Timothy Murphy and H.L. Hix and the veteran maestri like Ted Kooser and Dick Davis – signals a return to concision and intensity.

  • Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

    567 Words  | 2 Pages

    The main character of this book is Susan Caraway, but everyone knows her as Stargirl. Stargirl is about 16 years old. She is in 10th grade. Her hair is the color of sand and falls to her shoulders. A “sprinkle” of freckles crosses her nose. Mostly, she looked like a hundred other girls in school, except for two things. She didn’t wear makeup and her eyes were bigger than anyone else’s in the school. Also, she wore outrageous clothes. Normal for her was a long floor-brushing pioneer dress or skirt. Stargirl is definitely different. She’s a fun loving, free-spirited girl who no one had ever met before. She was the friendliest person in school. She loves all people, even people who don’t play for her school’s team. She doesn’t care what others think about her clothes or how she acts. The lesson that Stargirl learned was that you can’t change who you are. If you change for someone else, you will only make yourself miserable. She also learned that the people who really care about you will like you for who you are. The people who truly love you won’t ask you to change who you are.

    1892 Words  | 4 Pages

    Have you ever read a book and had though to yourself; this book is amazing. That is the though readers should think as they read Graceling by Kristin Cashore. They should when they read this book, because of Graceling’s setting, characters, plot, the plot resolution, and some of the small things. Graceling’s setting is not an easy thing to pin point because of the time period, but does include vast and dangerous lands that the characters will travel through. The main characters are different than what cliché main characters would be like in YA novels. The plot is complex and heart racing. Graceling’s ending is satisfactory, ending with the characters getting their happily ever after. Finally, Graceling had a lesson that was not intentionally put in by the author, Kristin Cashore. Graceling is distinctive and original, being the blue diamond of books; the best there is.
