Pecola Breedlove is a really special character, though she herself, nor anyone around her would think so. But the truth is, Pecola is a special little girl, because she represents something. She represents a lot of somethings, actually. She represents all of the children that have been beat down, abused, and forgotten by society. The children that are chewed up and spit out, then mocked and hated by the guilty for the wrongness that was heaped upon them through no choice of their own. She has been
Analysis of The Best Little Girl in the World The author of my book is Steven Levenkron. Warner Books published this book in September of 1978 in New York, NY. The genre of my book is fiction with suspense. The Best Little Girl in the World could be based on a true story, but it is not completely true to life. It would fall under the suspense category because the reader does not know if Kessa will live or die. The all-important purposes of this book are to inform and to narrate. The author does

Growing up The setting of the story is set in the garden. It is described as a wilderness. It has a small vegetable patch near the pond. I think this garden could have potential if it was cared for and not used as the children’s ‘Play area’. It has one bed where Mrs Quick (one of the main characters) ‘grew flowers for the house’ and it ‘hadn’t been touched for years’. She had lost care for it. Old apple trees tottered over seedy laurels, unpruned roses where in the garden and tall ruins

"It's a Girl" This was not the first time I'd heard these words, not even the first time I'd heard them spoken in a delivery room. But it was the first time I heard them spoken to my daughter and it was unlike any other moment in my life. Just eight months earlier my daughter Kirsten, only eighteen years old herself, had shyly whispered to me that she was going to have a baby. While I smiled and hugged her, I reeled from a barrage of fears and emotions I could not share with her. I knew
young girls meet for the first time giving each other someone to hang on to. The second is when they meet again later in their years, at the same location they stayed so many years ago. These meetings are surrounded by severer loss with both the girls. Byatt looks into many different types of loss throughout her story.

Thoreau surrounded them. Each book had been lovingly placed in its specific niche, and as the little girl gazed about the room, it was obvious to her that many hours had been spent placing and caring for this massive collection. There was a distinct smell about the room--not the moldy mothball scent that a lot of people can smell when they walk into a well-aged library, but a smell that reminded the young girl of school and very faintly of knowledge. Strength seemed to give off a permanent kind of
