Summary! Chapters 7-10 for week three! The book “ Tomorrow Girls Behind The Gates” is written by Eva Gray, it can both be read by use children and adults. The main message in the third three chapters is that there will always be different groups of friends or people throughout your life that you will meet. For example, sporty groups, smart groups, nerdy groups and cool groups. I believe that Eva Gray’s main message for this week is think of who you are as a person before choosing a group you should think if you will fit into the group. The middle of the chapters seven to ten begins with Evelyn entering the school’s buffet to grab some breakfast, she saw Louisa and Maddie sitting down at a table so she took the plate and went to go sit …show more content…
down with the two girls. Mrs. Brewster, Devi, and Emmanuel entered the room to tell the girls that instead of having a break on the weekend, they were going to do life skills courses all weekend. Louisa is in the swimming skills group with a bunch of other girls and Maddie is in the camping group, Maddie isn’t excited or happy about anything lately. After the girls finished their outdoor fun courses, Louisa and Rosie were talking about their activities, while Evelyn was doing research and Maddie was reading on her favorite book. It was Sunday morning and Louisa, Maddie, Evelyn and Rosie woke up and Evelyn and Maddie were sitting at one table together figuring out where they could be, while Rosie went over to another table to eat with her sporty friends. Louisa didn’t know where to eat because Rosie wanted her to come to her table with her friends to eat and Evelyn wanted Louisa to come to her table to eat with Maddie, but Louisa didn’t know who to sit with because Maddie has a negative attitude sometimes and Rosie was nice and kind now she got to know her, so Louisa ate her breakfast at the sporty table that one day, it was fun. I think Eva Gray was smart delivering her message that there will always be different group of friends or people throughout your life you’ll meet.
These chapters are trying to teach you that regardless of all the groups of friends out there, don’t feel like you have to be part of any group. For an example in the text it says that “Maddie and Evelyn are at one table and Rosie and her sporty friends are at another table, both groups want Louisa to join their group for breakfast, but she doesn't know what table she should eat at because none of the groups are her type and she doesn’t want to start any drama or arguments with her friends/roommates.” Louisa doesn’t have to feel a part of any of theses groups because she says they are not her type and you don’t have to part of any groups. This example proves that the author did a good job because it’s showing you that it’s okay to be alone sometimes because you don’t always have to be with your friends and groups, also you should wait until there’s a good type for you of groups of friends in life. You should never feel like you have to be part of every single group in life. Another example from the novel that proves the main message is where it says in the text “ Evelyn is very smart, Rosie is sometimes mean, depends what mood she’s in and loves to play sports, Maddie is sometimes negative about little things, and Louisa love's the boarding school ” because everyone has a different personality it’s hard to find the right
group for yourself, so don’t feel like you don’t belong or fit in with a group as eventually you will find a group or friends that are similar to you, but not the exact same to you it’s very unlikely, you will never meet someone who is exactly the same as you. You don’t have to be part of any group to be liked, cared or get attention in life. My last reason why Eva Gray’s message was delivered very successful is because in the text it says “Rosie and her friends are at a table eating and some smart and nerdy girls come asked to sit nicely, but Rosie and her friends say no sorry.” These girls that wanted to eat there lunch with Rosie and her friends weren't her type because these girls don’t like to play any sports there more like homework girls and like to focus on school work. To not rode or anything, Rosie should have let the ladies to sit down and eat their lunch, it’s the nice and positive thing to do. The three girls went to go find another group of friends to eat with, they went to Evelyn’s and Maddie’s table because Evelyn and Maddie are smart just like the three girls, but they didn’t know that Evelyn and Maddie were smart, they just wanted to go and sit with them. This proves that Eva Gray did a good job because you shouldn't exclude people and be mean to someone over a little reason, also you don’t know if the girls are your type or not, you should at least get to know the girls before saying anything, for an example “No you can’t eat your lunch with use!” Remember you don't have to be part of every group of friends you meet, Eva Gray writing the third three chapter’s will hopefully teach children and adults that you will bump into so many different types of groups in life and some will be your friends and some will different as you and some will be similar like you.

I’ve been reading Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. For our first book meeting I was absent, but our group decided on reading through Chapter 4, which was about 64 pages. The book follows three main characters; Herta, a German doctor; Caroline, an ex-Broadway actress; and Kasia, a Catholic teenager living in Poland. Each chapter switches the perspective to one of these characters and tells part of their story. The structure of this book really helps me keep reading because every chapter is different. If you are bored with the chapter you are on, you know the next chapter will be breath of fresh air. It’s hard to fully capture the personality from only one or two chapters, but I’m not in love with all of the characters. Caroline, who works as
...ism and segregation, it is what will keep any society form reaching is maximum potential. But fear was not evident in those who challenged the issue, Betty Jo, Street, Jerry, and Miss Carrie. They challenged the issue in different ways, whether it was by just simply living or it was a calculated attempt to change the perspective of a individual. McLurin illustrated the views of the reality that was segregation in the South, in the town of Wade, and how it was a sort of status quo for the town. The memories of his childhood and young adulthood, the people he encountered, those individuals each held a key in how they impacted the thoughts that the young McLurin had about this issue, and maybe helping unlock a way to challenge the issue and make the future generation aware of the dark stain on society, allowing for more growth and maximum potential in the coming years.
The pack is try to change for the better they remind them self by saying thing like “shoes on feet”. The pack is trying to stay out of trouble “we hate jeanette but we hated mirabella more. Jeanette is the good one she listen to the nun. The nun like her the most because she listen to them. Mirabell is the bad one she get into truble the nun shot
This book teaches the importance of self-expression and independence. If we did not have these necessities, then life would be like those in this novel. Empty, redundant, and fearful of what is going on. The quotes above show how different life can be without our basic freedoms. This novel was very interesting and it shows, no matter how dismal a situation is, there is always a way out if you never give up, even if you have to do it alone.
As the student begins his essay, he points out that Sammy is part of the lower class structure. He is an “eighteen-year-old boy who is working as a checkout clerk in an A&P in a small New England town five miles from the beach” (2191). While working an afternoon shift on Thursday, he notices “these girls in nothing but bathing suits” (2191) enter the store. It is in this scene that the student begins to identify the differences between the group of girls and Sammy.
Teenagers enter into adolescence feeling insecure and unsure of themselves. They desire to fit in and belong. If they don't, they see themselves as abnormal. Children seek to become independent from their parents and immerse themselves in their own social environment during adolescence. According to Psychologist Erik Erikson “Peer groups fulfill the adolescent’s need for validity and acceptance and provide space and opportunity for exploration and experimentation.” This is likewise to the Protagonist Tracy because in order for her to get Evies acceptance she stole a purse from an old lady and afterwards went on a shopping spree. Tracy explored and experimented many things with her new found peer group however, from there, it all spirals down as Tracy experiences and responds to a variety of pressures and situations not uncommo...
Did you know that wherever you go in the world, and there are groups, there are outsiders? That’s just humans’ nature. The book, The Outsiders, written by S.E Hilton in her junior year in Tulsa, Oklahoma, written because the Hilton was enraged at the way people separated themselves into socioeconomic groups (Doc A), but her rant about Greasers & Socs turned into a best-selling novel. This book showcases that Outsiders are not just the ones who assume they don’t fit into the society, but they are the ones who view life not as social divisions like Greasers and Socs.
A peer group can help one find their own identity by shaping an individual’s short-term choices, such as appearances and interests. They help a young person figure out how they fit in the world. “You’re not like the rest of us and don’t try to be” is told by one of the members of the gang. Ponyboy will have a hard time trying to not grow up like the rest of the pack because being in a gang like the Greasers,
...s the idea that these characters are more than the stereotype associated with them, as the audience learns more about them as the episode and show continues. The text challenges our society’s ideas about gender norms because the heterosexual main male character challenges these roles by joining Glee Club. He does this regardless of the social consequences that followed. This episode should stand as a guide for future television shows to better society and break down our harmful ideologies causing barriers between sexualities and individuals. Finally, do not let the “herd take care of it” (Glee).
The author does not state this directly through anything in the book, but it could be an implied meaning that the author wanted the reader to understand. This book may cause the reader to realize that not all people are like them, and not all people come from a good background. Most people hide it behind a smile, but others may break down and have days where they just need to be comforted. Instead of making fun of them for being down, one could go up and help the person in need. Possibly a friend is all that they need to keep them going forward.
All in all, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton shows us the impact of how social classes in society can be perceived. The author successfully establishes that two worlds, no matter how different they may be, still have a commonality between them. This gives the readers a greater understanding that regardless of how big the difference is, there can still be an
Throughout Kazu Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go, he choices to depict children as outsiders to the world which can be furthered by the setting in Britain’s countryside because it helps give a sense distance from true reality. In the framework throughout his novel Ishiguro focuses on three main characters Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy. These three students are seen by others to have an advantage because they were lucky enough to be raised at Hailsham by the guardians. Over the watchful eye of the Guardians the children were able to grow accustom to being different than others. This can be seen when the characters all mature and grow after they leave Hailsham and become accustomed to life at the cottages. There newly found freedoms at the cottages lead them to question many of their previous schooling standards and beliefs. These freedoms can be seen by every student trying to hold on to their sense of individuality through small and random collections. This suggests that humans attempt to create an appearance through their own belongings and incorporate into their own lives. The students at Hailsham are encouraged to seek creativity and individuality in the things they create which could include sculptures, paintings or poems. These many collections that each student holds close to themselves offers them a small chance for control in their life because they can pick and choose the pieces they would like to incorporate into their individual collections.
These members don’t benefit from helping advocate for racial equality, but recognizes that disparaging a large population of individuals to keep an elite class of citizens from having their balance upset, is not beneficial to the whole of the community. They exercise political friendship by working with black individuals advocating for their cause. A lack of political friendship is also seen, which is the result of certain individuals holding their own status above those of others. The narrator is aware of his systematic oppression and the lack of political friendship. In the beginning his habits were to be eager and work hard, offering his trust and respect for others and being hopeful he’d receive it in return. By the end, he grows wearing of receiving little back, and becomes inflexible in his friendships and withdraws his efforts towards cooperation. He struggles with working with whites or even coexisting as he is bitter at his discrimination, and doesn’t trust them. By the end, his psychological state is rather broken and unstable, and he ends up withdrawing from the community, existing as a recluse, as he doesn’t want to contribute to a society that he cannot trust and who doesn’t trust or respect
For many of us, when asked “what social group do you fit in?” it may not take much time to identify our place in the society. Some people may respond being apart of a higher class, an artistic crowd, or just look around to their friends to say “I’m with these guys”. Being social may come as natural to most of us, yet why be social? Why be apart of a crowd? And how do the people you associate with affect you? Thinking about why your friend is your friend can help answer these questions. For instance, I became very close friends with someone at my school because they work at Chipotle. My reasoning for associating with this person is discounts. It is common for people to form relationships based on dependence, many teens wouldn’t associate with
