Hope Is More Fitting Than Tulip For Hope

Decent Essays
I believe that the name Hope is more fitting than Tulip for Hope. The reason why I think that us because Hope is a strong powerful name and I think that it explains what she has been through with her parents, having Gleason Beal take their money and how she would box to help with her anger. It's amaxing that Hope went through all of these life changing events along with moving to different locations frequently and losing friends, but still trying her best to live up to her name and to always try to stay positive no matter what life throws at her. Hope tries to live up to her name by believing that her Father will show up looking for her and anticipating that G.T's cancer will go away pemanitly. I think that how she writes "Hope Was Here"
