Essay On Anna Oliphant

Improved Essays
Life was always on Anna Oliphant’s side. She had a trustworthy best friend named Bridgette and Christopher, also known as Toph, the guy she likes a lot who is starting to respond back to her affection. Everything was almost as perfect as a fairy tale for Anna, when her wealthy father decides to send her to a boarding school in France for her senior year in high school. Leaving the people special to her including Bridge, Toph and her brother, Sean was the last thing Anna ever wanted to do. She did not want to leave Atlanta even if it was for the beautiful city of Paris. She did not want to leave home.
Though it was contrary to her desires, Anna had no choice but to follow his father’s plan.
Anna was brought to the residence near the School Of America in Paris (SOAP) and the moment her parents left her inside her room at Residence Lambert, she felt alone. She really was alone. Bridgette wasn’t there, and Toph and her brother as well. No familiar faces were around; she did not have anyone she knows in Paris.
Things started to change when one of her neighbours, Meredith knocked on her door and invited her for some Chocolat chaud or in other words, hot chocolate. They had

But the stories were not just about Paris, but about their own, personal lives as well. Anna told St. Clair that she was very anxious of the way Parisians see her. She was scared of offending people because she’s wearing sneakers instead of scary high heeled boots or in other words, she was scared and overthinking because she is obviously American. St. Clair assured her that she’ll do fine and he’ll be there along the way. That moment marked the beginning of a friendship between two people who were once, living thousands of miles away from the

    “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people” (Martin Luther King, Jr.). This quote by Martin Luther King, Jr has proven to carry throughout history and possibly well into the future as seen in the novels, Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks, The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Each author wrote a unique novel, with one thing in common, the main characters, along with the group of people they identify with, are oppressed by a higher authority that takes their lives for granted. It is not until towards the middle of the novel, that the characters realize how appalling their conditions under which they are living are. In the…

    Liudmila Petrushevskaia’s The Time: Night is, for lack of a better phrase, a family novel in that it delves into familial relationships specifically regarding motherhood. Petrushevskaia explores three generations of women: The grandmother Sima, mother Anna, and daughter Alyona. Delving into manic hysteria, Anna’s situation portrays a cyclical view of history wherein Anna’s life repeats that of Sima; leaving us to assume that Alyona will also follow suit. Anna’s crazed view on motherhood and the relationship portrayed between the daughters appears bleak as the cyclical nature of history negates a possible utopia.…

However, if I was in Anna’s situation I would have donated everything I could to my sister to keep her alive. The difference is that Anna had been donating since the day she was born, and I’ve never had to donate anything or give anything up because of it. Since we find out in the end that Anna wanted to donate and that Kate wanted her to fight against it so she could die, I found that I differed from Anna’s character in this aspect of the book.

    As we know, Anna has had a troubled past. Her father died, her stepmother is equivalent to the evil stepmother in “Cinderella”, and she has had a recent change in culture and scenery. In the novel, Anna has made questionable life choices that could be chalked up to her lack of knowledge about the workings of society. We see this when looking at her relationship with Walter. Walter buys her nice things (like the pantyhose), he always gives her money (as an exchange for her services), and he treats her with respect (sort of); or at least, that’s how Anna sees it.…
