Legend By Marie Lu

Improved Essays
In the novel Legend by Marie Lu, the main characters are June and Day. Day is old criminal of republic and June is Republic agent who scored perfect on her trial (1500/1500) like Day. Overall for me this book was very good to read, Legend has very less violence than others same fiction books so it makes easy to read for kids. One thing that forced me to give book very good for reading is the stylish way of execution in front of all Republic people and by firing squad. I think we read this book as a class because this book has a very great message, that doesn't follow someone blindly no matter how much you trust them always see facts. Other reason might be because all the characters in this book are the virtually same age to us. This book also tries to say every decision you make at this age will affect your future. In this novel, there were numerous strong Qualities like Action, Originality, Character Development, and Interest but my favorite is Action in the Novel …show more content…
Obviously, I’m not dead, but it’s safer for her to thinks so” from this very first line I knew it this will be like the thriller, action or some kind of spy or suspense book. If we look overall character role, action, twist and dialogue delivery of June and Day. The best Dialogue for me is of Day when June asks why you picked your nickname Day, then Day says Day mean “Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything’s possible again. You live in the moment, you did in the moment, and you take it all one day at a time.” The weakness of this book are very less I think if Marie Lu had put more than two main characters then it will be more suspension building and more thriller. This book sometimes feels boring when June and Day are romantic. It would be great if an author had put more Romance so that way people who like to read Love stories will also read this

    Love is Caustic: A Look into the Similarities and Differences of Laustic and Bisclavret Throughout Marie de France’s many lais, she focuses on the many facets of human nature, such as who can be trusted, who will act accordingly to their rank and status in the court, who will be honorable and treat others with respect, and most importantly, who is most deserving of the love of another. By the very definition of the lais, being a love ballad of sorts, this is nothing surprising. What is far more shocking about the works of Marie de France is that she holds nothing back when it comes to the repercussions that her characters experience for their actions. The idea that love can nurture and help one grow is noted by Marie, but the opposite being…

    Myth By Natasha Trethewey

    Punctuation in Natasha Trethewey’s “Myth” What’s the difference between a period and comma? When reading aloud, one might take a breath at a comma, and take a slightly longer pause at a period. But really, who cares about distinguishing a small speck and a slightly elongated speck on a page? In Natasha Trethewey’s “Myth,” however, you’ll find that the almost exhaustive list of substitutions she makes in the second part of the poem makes it read completely differently than the first – which is surprising, as the poem, in essence, is structured as a palindrome!…

    The acknowledgement of cultural differences when deciding how to proceed with medical treatment is vital, but when these cultural differences interfere with the preservation of life and the public health, a balance must be struck between a respect for other cultures and societal well-being. In The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, Lia Lee, who suffered from a serious form of epilepsy, faced obstacles in her treatment not only because of the doctors’ lack of complete understanding as to her condition, but her parents’ resistance to the actions of the doctors. The reason for this is twofold: a linguistic barrier prevented efficient and complete communication, and a severe cultural divide between the doctors’ ethnomedicine and traditional…

    In this stunning memoir, Rosemary Bray describes growing up poor in Chicago in the 1960s and becoming one of the first black women at Yale--and she shows why changes in the welfare system make it virtually impossible for her inspiring story to happen today. "Certain things shape you, change you forever," Bray writes. " Years later, long after you think you've escaped, some ordinary experience flings you backward into memory. Being poor is like that.…

The systems drive the lower class to compete against one another to create a small profit, that will soon be taken away by the individuals or companies that “own” the profit created by the system.…

    Character traits are extremely important in novels; they affect the way the reader feels about each of the characters. Authors will often give the protagonists positive and relatable character traits so that the reader will feel emotionally invested in the characters. The antagonist will usually have negative character traits to build up dislike so that the reader will root for the protagonist. Character traits in a book often drive the plot and lead to the climax. Without defining and compelling character traits a book can become stagnant.…

    Legend by Marie Lu was a well written novel; however, there were points in the book that could have been improved. The novel was written in two different point of views. Even though this can become confusing, Marie Lu did a wonderful job at distinguishing between the different point of views. While this was enjoyable in the book, the author was able to create a connection with characters, but then she would kill them off. The author did well by creating characters that felt real to the reader, but the appeal is lost when the characters die, a heroic death or not.…
