Betty Shreffler Book Report

Decent Essays
This is my first read from Author Betty Shreffler and I quite enjoyed it. I love reading paranormal and I get super excited when I find another one I can enjoy. When Dex and Anya met for the first time, sparks flew. So Dex being a who he was, ended them in between the sheets that same day. Yes, it was fast, but it was hot. If you read the book you’d understand why Anya fell into bed with him right away. Anya never wanted to accept Dex for who he was, so she tried to keep clear of him. But no matter what she did they somehow always end up in the same place. Each and everytime they were around each other, they couldn’t help but want each other. Anya and Dex have loads of sex in the book, which would usually turn me off..but it didn’t. Anya

    I have two predictions, one is that Hilly and Elizabeth will find out about the book and the second is that Celia will tell Hilly that she knows about the pie incident. I predict that HIlly and Elizabeth will find out about Skeeter’s book. A reason could be that one could overhear the help talking about it. They could hear it at a bridge meeting when the help is serving them. Or Aibileen could say something too loud on the phone and Elizabeth could hear her.…

    Transgender Being transgender is when a person’s gender identity does not conform with their biological sex. Speculating on how people are identifying as a transgender individual is a difficult and very controversial topic to discuss due to the fact that nobody knows what is morally correct. One author, Ruth Padawer, has brought the topic to light, presenting us with examples from one of the most prestigious women’s colleges in the United States. In her 2014 piece, “Sisterhood is Complicated”, she ponders on the idea of if people who identify as transgender should be permitted to attend an all women’s college. In her piece, she states that, “Some two dozen other matriculating students at Wellesley don’t identify as women.…

Her friends don’t know that…
