Back when I was a young girl, I loved riding my bike. It was my favorite thing to do outside. I would ride it down a hill by my house covered with flowers that had a beautiful scent.

Character Christopher is the main character and the narrator of this book. He is a strange-behaviour boy who has autism, because of that he always thinks about things others are not interested in, also, he can’t understand the social situation. He lives in his own world.

Challenging, responsible, cruel, those three words are my…

This paper will explore the topic of slavery from the perspective taken by Harriet Jacob in her book, “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," and also, explore the main themes covered by Jacob in her book, for instance, sexual exploitation and its consequences to women among other topics.

sound workable in theory, the real-world application yields a far less desirable outcome because it comes into conflict with the force of human nature. Disconcerting tendencies within human behavior manifest themselves in several different ways, and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Linda Brent explores the institution of American slavery as an influence that muddles notions of societal morality. Racism exhibited through slavery showed the potential for using exploitive tendencies towards…

These changes occur as a result of Christopher going to London and finding his mother, rebelling against his father, and writing a book. In the beginning of…
