Birdie Sidwell , the protagonist of Deep by Susanna Vance and I are not at all similar. We have different views of the world , are viewed by the world in distinctive ways and I would respond in a different way to the central conflict of the of the novel. Therefore , I believe given the chance , we would not be friends. My novel is about a thirteen year old girl name Birdie Sidwell. Birdie is an intelligent young girl and she is the only child. Although she has been through a lot nothing bad has ever happened to her. Birdie Widwell yearns for drama or something gruesome to happen so she can write her book. The young girl gets just that when her and her parents take a year long sabbatical to the Carribean.

Birdie caught at first trying to get away. She taught until she could not anymore and just accepted what was at hand. Being kidnapped gave the thought to her that this would be the perfect time to start writing her book. Morgan was then brought along and Birdie felt somewhat at ease. Birdie and Morgan became bestfriends , they were each other’s comfort until they were found. Birdie wrote the best story she had ever wrote because of this experience.

The way that Birdie dealt with the central conflict is the total opposite of how I would have handled it. If I would have gotten kidnapped from my parents I would have fought and fought until I had fight left in me. If I was in Birdies position I would have been trying every way possible to get away. After I met another person that the kidnapper brought in , that would have been the perfect time to try and escape. I would have been praying to god to help me get back to my parents.

Birdie Sidwell and I are not at all similar. We have different views of the world , are viewed by the world in distinctive ways and I would respond in a different way to the central conflict of the novel. Therefore , I believe given the chance , we would not be friends. Birdie and I could not be friends because we are in so many ways

    Chapter 1 Page #5 “There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. But it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.” After researching the Great Depression, I discovered that the quote, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself” is the most famous phrase from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first inaugural speech. FDR gave his inaugural speech after his election in 1932. From this, we can conclude that the story began in 1933.…

    Throughout its 239 years of independence, the United States of America has experienced peace, war, and just about everything in between. American culture has evolved significantly since the 18th century, and nothing more effectively represents its centuries of triumphs and tragedies than the literature of American authors. Specifically through short stories, these authors discuss both personal and societal concerns of their times, and simultaneously interweave themes of life, love, and happiness in their works. Three specific authors in American history – Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Theodore Dreiser ¬– act as “moral purifiers” presenting their case through their creative works that, left up to the reader, may have a positive…

    I would rate this book 6 or 7 out of 10, because is was very detailed on what it was saying and I could imagine what was going on in the book. The thing that I did not like in the book. The story ends with Scout well on her way to growing up, as well. She now has some idea of what being a lady involves, and she no longer seems to mind so much. But importantly, Lee leaves readers with the remembrance that Scout the narrator is still a little girl.…
