Forbidden Love In Huh, Hush By Becca Fitzpatrick

Decent Essays
The book I just finished reading was “Hush, Hush” by Becca Fitzpatrick. In my opinion, this book has many themes. One of the main ones being forbidden love or opposites attracted. When Nora and Patch met in biology class Nora knew that she was attracted to him, but she can’t seem to push back the warning signs he puts up in her head. Nora and Patch from the outside are complete opposites in everything between shape and size to afterschool activities and personalities in general. Then you find out that Patch is not even human, he is a fallen angel. Nora and Patch both know they’re forbidden to love each other but, the more they know about each other the farther they fall for one another. You could also say that another theme would be “Don’t

    The social view on adolescent sexuality varies across cultures, societies, communities, and families. It is a controversial topic because some individuals perceive sexuality as an important development of a teenager’s gender and identity, while others are opposed to the sexual interaction of adolescence. In the book Not Under My Roof, Amy Schalet demonstrates that in the Netherlands, society provides information and support about sexuality to teenagers. The normalization of sexual behavior in the Netherlands has allowed teenagers to develop a greater control over their sexual desires. In contrast, America’s perspective of adolescent sexuality makes the experience unenjoyable to young adults.…

    When thinking of religion there’s many things that come to mind. Religion is a very hard topic to understand because there is just so many questions and not too many answers to go along with the question. Religion can be judgemental; judging people’s sexuality, the way that others choose to live their lives, and making it seem that most things are wrong to do, but in the bible itself mentioned in Matthew 7: 1-2 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you”.…

    Susan Minot’s story titled Lust is written in first-person perspective and it revolves around the adolescent life of a 15-year-old girl as she lives in boarding school. The narrator is the girl herself, unnamed and anonymous in terms of characterization; very accurately depicting someone with low self-esteem. The story opens right away with the character introducing the boys she’s met during her time at boarding school but goes no more into depth about them than mentioning the sexual experiences they have had, such as seeing one naked for the first time or French kissing another. The readers get little, if any, description of the male characters beyond their names.…

    In The Flowers by Alice Walker, Myop’s innocence is emphasized by many literary devices, such as, symbolism, metaphor, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, tone, and imagery. Walker named the main character, Myop on purpose as it is short for myopia, which is the scientific term for, nearsightedness. This is an example of symbolism because in most parts of the story, Myop is a very innocent and pure girl, and is not able to see farther than the idealistic beauty of her childhood. To Myop, the harvesting of crops “[makes] each day a golden surprise” (Walker, 1).…
