Nancy Drew

would both laugh and laugh. Even simple books with one liners in them like goodnight moon! And, teaching a child to read is the most rewarding thing a parent can do. My son liked Tom Swift adventures, and going back to my childhood I loved the Nancy Drew adventures. I remember when all the children fell in love with Harry Potter, and a whole generation of children picked up books and read! Some of the teachers and parents loved those books, and then some of the parents decided that they…

Women had started fighting for gender equalities way before the term “feminism” was listed in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1852. They spoke up and proved their abilities to the world by marching and rebelling. The first-wave of feminism started from the 18th century, and it was mainly focused on the voting and property rights for females. The Second-Wave feminism began in the 1960s, and the focus shifted from suffrage to issues such as workplace, reproductive rights, and domestic violence.…

To be honest, when I was first given this assignment, I was worried. Although I enjoy books and love to hear people tell stories, I am not much of a reader. I use excuses such as, “I’m too busy.” or “I don’t have time.” to justify the reasons I don’t read more books. Part of the reason I took AP literature was so I could understand how to read into the deeper meaning of books and expose myself to different novel content. I realized though, despite the fact I am not a big reader, books have…

In any story, it is important for the audience to understand which characters are powerful and those that are powerless. In several stories that have been read this semester, there have been characters that are portrayed to be inferior because of their socioeconomic status or skin color. As a result, those characters obtain insignificant roles in books and do not receive the chance to have their voices heard in any story. Furthermore, the authors chose to display stereotypical images of them and…

it was being Chinese on the outside but American on the inside. Wong goes into detail on how both her and her brother had to attend a Chinese school, how the Nationalist Republic of China flag was also red, white and blue but not as pretty, how Nancy Drew was her favorite book heroine although she never spoke Chinese, and her language was a source of embarrassment. This essay was what ultimately set the tone for what Wong had in store for us.…

drawing as a little girl and making carvings out of the soap. Even though Ormes’s high school did not offer art classes she drew cartoons for the yearbook and later became the art editor. Ormes did not receive formal training as an artist, except in the early 1940’s she took a few drawing classes when she moved to Chicago at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Jackie drew a comic parody of her experience telling the art professor, she has been told she is a natural. After looking about…

“My past was my mother”- Mother as a Representation of the Colonial Past in Lucy On Jamaica Kincaid’s ability to remove her Caribbean identity from her own, Henry Gates Jr. remarks, “she never feels the necessity of claiming the existence of a black world or a female sensibility. She assumes them both. I think it’s a distinct departure that she’s making, and I think that more and more black American writers will assume their world the way that she does” (qtd. in Leslie Garis). She responds to…

Shirley Jackson’s short story, “The Lottery,” is about a village of three hundred people, taking their chances in a ritualistic drawing. Jackson writes the story in third person, to show emphasis on all of the characters that are included. Consequently, Jackson shows the irony of the Lottery ceremony in this village, since it isn’t to win money or a prize; it is to win your fate of your life by being stoned to death. By this means, it is apparent that Tessie Hutchinson was the one who suffered a…
