Elissa Rachel Henderson Analysis

Decent Essays
There are many ways one could describe Elissa Rachelle Henderson, she was tall with long perfect legs and an hour glass figure every girl she met envied. Her big dark chocolate brown doe eyes could make you feel more love in one look than you had your whole life but they could also pierce you with a stare so cold it'd curdle your blood and make you wish you were dead. Elissa was one of the prettiest girls I'd ever known and I was secretly jealous of her because of it. She had long night black hair down to her waist that shimmered like ink in the sun. She was probably the most popular girl in our high school. Elissa wasn't just pretty though, oh no, that girl had a wild spirit and a bad temper that would make you regret ever pissing her off.

    She was strong and loyal to her friend and her family (despite what had happened to her while she was with her mother). I think one of the things I loved the most about her was how realistic her grief was. Sure, there was hate towards her mother for doing what she did – but it never took over and she still felt grief. She reminded me of a trapped dog, sweet and cuddly to those who showed her kindness but a rabid animal to those with opposite intentions. She does some pretty silly things though, dumb and completely idiotic things, but it didn’t take away from her character as a whole.…

    Maria W. Stewart Analysis

    Between January 7, 1832 and May 4, 1833, William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper, The Liberator, published six articles by abolitionist and black nationalist Maria W. Stewart.1 In these articles, Stewart spoke in two seemingly contradictory registers as she described God's interactions with humanity. On the one hand, she portrayed a gentle God who directed his angels to carry oppressed individuals "into Abraham's bosom [where] they shall be comforted" ("Address: Delivered before" 66); on the other hand, she warned sinners-specifically white American sinners-of a wrathful and violent God who was on the verge of sending "horror and devastation" to the world ("Address, Delivered in"). While these two images may seem paradoxical to contemporary readers,…

    Ellen Foster Analysis

    Ellen Foster was written by Kaye Gibbons, and the book is narrated by a young girl named Ellen Foster, telling the reader about the unique childhood she experienced, filled with an abusive father and many different homes and experiences that a ten year old child typically wouldn’t have. When interpreting the book Ellen Foster through a social power lense, you can see that the power of the society and the way Ellen grew up, and the experiences she had under the power of her elders, really pushed her to overcome her moral challenges and become a better person. If Ellen was raised in a normal home, she probably wouldn’t have stayed friends with Starletta, or overcome the internal racism that everyone possessed in the period that the book was written.…
