Jeannette once said reading is a form of comfort for her. I couldn’t agree more, we both adore stories similar to our own experiences in life, mostly to see how the protagonists in those novels survive their stories.

I think that she should do what her older sister Lori does: read books like the Wizards of Oz to escape into a fantasy to put her at ease for a little bit. She needs a break from her terrifying life and from her ignorant “guardians”.…

Melinda has a bad relationship with her parents, her and her parents relationship is extremely strained. They never have a real conversations and when they do its always ends in arguments.

Joan of Arc’s identification as both male and female throughout various aspects of her life further depicted her as gender fluid. Gender fluidity allows for conceptualization through “…gender freedom and the primacy of individual choice and as destabilizing categories and boundaries” (Davis 101).

Joan of Arc displayed this with her chosen identification and actions throughout her life. She had fluid movement back and forth between male and female genders.…
