Hello, I am Brittanie Waddell, editor of my school newspaper, The Devils' Tale, at Tallmadge High School. The Devils' Tale is a student-run newspaper that gets distributed to students and staff at the high school along with throughout the community.
I realize that you and Victoria Aveyard are very busy people. I was just curious if it is possible for me to get an interview with Victoria Aveyard about her Red Queen series. I often do book reviews for the newspaper and Red Queen is one of my favorite books. Getting an interview with the author seems like a great way to let other readers better understand the book and may make others want to read the book, along with getting her perspective of the plot of the story. Let me know if this is at

    Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God Summary

    As the diversity of the American Colonies rose, as did its ideas and stances. The Great Awakening, a term used by historians to refer to points of religious resurrections or reappearances, began to rear itself during this time. In the time period of 1689-1763, more and more religions became prevalent, leading to the spreading of ideals and faiths. Within New England, education for the youth had been widespread. The Puritan settlers found it best to use the Bible as their primary educational tool, but as well this did not come free.…

    The Outsiders Heroism

    I’ve read a lot of books with heroes in them, but in The Outsiders, almost every character is a hero. This story is about a gang called the greasers. All the greasers could be considered a hero. My definition of a hero is a dependable, caring, and unselfish person. One character in this book fits my definition of a hero perfectly.…

    David Foster Wallace's The Devil Is A Busy Man

    David Foster Wallace’s The Devil Is a Busy Man begins with the sentence “Three weeks ago, I did a nice thing for someone” and begins again the conversation that echoes throughout the rest of his book, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, about the narcissistic nature of man. This story which qualifies the authenticity and “value” of a good deed based on its anonymity does so under the idea that if a good deed is made public by someone who did the deed then it was done more for one’s own personal benefit rather than any altruistic purpose. The nameless, sexless narrator then goes through an existential crisis in which they think that subconsciously they set the situation and acted in such a way as to allow him or her to be caught. Throughout…

    The Sin Eaters

    Harvesting Native Americans: The Theme of Unwilling Sacrifice in “The Sin Eaters” Sherman Alexie’s “The Sin Eaters”, a short story found within The Toughest Indian in the World, tells the story of a young boy named Jonah and his presentiment dreams about war that ultimately come true. In this short story, Native Americans from all parts of the country are stripped from their reservations, bused to prison-like camps, and utilized against their will by the government. When reflecting on this text, I find a theme of unwarranted sacrifice to be prevalent throughout many points of the story. This idea of forced sacrifice ties into the overall message of Alexie’s “The Sin Eaters”, and strengthens the image of loss and pain that indigenous cultures have faced due to colonialism and the American government. The first part of the short story that I find the theme of sacrifice to clearly come into view is when Jonah and many other Native Americans are taken by military forces from their homes.…

    A Reflection: The Danger Of A Single Story

    A Reflection: The Danger of a Single Story As most people, my story consists of an abundance of struggle, trial and error, and also lessons. These challenges, in addition to the lessons, have brought upon stress, anxiety, and even depression into my life. They have made me question myself to the point of insanity, avoid meeting and accepting new people into my life, and even fail to uphold the bonds I had previously made with both relatives and peers. However, I cannot be defined and bound to the “single story” of my anxiety. There are many more complex stories that represent me even more adequately than the ones that correspond to the struggles I’ve faced; as there are many more stories significant to other various people, places and things…

    The Hanged Man And The Dying God

    Though transient at first, my tarot reading fruited a tremendous outcome that was better than I could have hoped to interact with. My intent towards the experience was, “tell me a story that portrays my unique karmic and spiritual forces currently.” In short, the cards pulled were: first was The Hanged Man (or The Dying God) of the Water element, second was The Chariot of the Cancer zodiac, third was The Lovers of Gemini, fourth was The Moon of Pisces, and fifth was Adjustment (or Justice) of Libra. As to aid the reader, I have included a picture of the card spread in the back of the essay. The first card that began the reading was The Hanged Man, representing myself.…

    I walked up the stairs and into the next room, eyeing the new demons that appeared in the room. I didn't know what kind of demon they were and could honestly careless. Pulling out my sword I took it in both hands and started to spin it around in front of me. After the demon finished with its attacks, I charged at it and my sword landed against its weapon. We traded hits, the demons and I that is, but they paid dearly for their own hits, as I would use their own bodies against them to pull them closer and then send them flying with a well-placed…

    The Ninth Circle Of Hell

    Instead of a fiery portrayal as in the rest of the circles, the deepest stratum of hell is icy and frozen. In the Ninth Circle of Hell, the sinners are either murderers or traitors, and their punishment reflects their depravity. In Round 3 of the this Circle, the murderers/traitors of guests are encased in ice, all except for half their faces above the ice and their tears creating a frosty layer covering their eyes. These sinners are part of the frozen lake, Cocytus, because their act of betrayal was voluntary and each cold soul is now too powerless to repent for their sins. Here, Friar Alberigo and Branca d’Oria committed such a sin of betrayal to their guests on Earth that their tormented souls are in Hell, while demons inhabit their bodies…
