Analysis Of Where Are The Children By Mary Higgins Clark
Over the past week, I have been reading “Where are the Children” by Mary Higgins Clark. In this book, the main character Nancy, has been accused of murdering her own children. She moves to a new state, changes her look and appearance, and plans to start a whole new life, with a new husband and their two new children. But, when her two new kids go missing one day, she is accused of murder yet again and her past is remembered. Will Nancy have to go to jail for murder? And where have her children gone?

I felt like the author did a really good job of writing this book. I loved how she showed the character’s personalities while they were sharing their point of view, putting this in helped me to connect with the characters and their feelings,

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    I think it was powerful because Aneta was an orphan and didn't have much but then she opt her family and she had such a big heart and loved Wink so much. At first I thought that I wouldn't like this book and it toulk me forever to get through the first couple chapters. Once I got hang of it I was really into it and I couldn't wait to see what was on the next page. I think that the authors writing is very good and the setting is also good but happy to. It hasn't changed my thinking because I have always thought my dog was my best friend since I opt her up to now, and I love her more than she…

    I love the authors writing style in this book. First of all its written as a teenage girls journal so as i reader i get to know everything thats going on for her. I can almost relate because i know i would be going through a lot of the same issues as her. I also like how it dosnt focuse on a big group people so its easy to keep track of everyone and everything that is going on. In some parts it was a little unbelivable like when they went to the grocery store how could everything fit into there car with four other people in the car too. Im glad she put in the part about the stores though because it was intesersting like i could imagane all the chaos and frenzey of everyone running around trying to get what they might need and not know how long they would be in this situation.…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Willow Frost Poem

    • 1004 Words
    • 5 Pages

    I enjoyed how easily I could lose myself in the novel; after what I thought was only minutes turned out to be hours and before I knew it, it was early the next morning and all I wanted to do was keep reading. Personally, reading this novel was the exact definition of being swept away and taken into it because most times I completely left reality and if it was the middle of the day in the novel, I would truly believe it was the middle of the day in reality! I felt every moment. Except usually, when Willow felt sadness, I was angry mostly from a lack of understanding of why she continued to live through societal views and while talking to my culturally and ethnically diverse groupmates at CHS some didn’t feel angry at all, some felt satisfaction or even pride, and that just goes to show that this novel is more revolutionary than most can see. A lot of people see this as just another story, but it can unite a wide range of people and create conflict and discussion, but most of all it creates knowledge, certainly more knowledge than we can consciously verify. I would not change a single punctuation mark at this time.…

    Stephen Kings Children of the Corn is a short story about a couple (Burt and Vicky) who explores a strange town, but ends up face to face with a ironic twist when they attempt to flee from children who intentions are not quite normal. The plot of this story takes on the profound message of role switching truths, and likewise correlations of the spiritual beliefs that our society has obtained. Through the literary devices of characters and allusion Stephen King takes symbolic representation on the misuse of religion in today's modern culture.…

    I thought the writer had a really good flow of style and expressed herself really well, especially with the storyline. It was a great story overall, the writer was very graphic with her words and it kind of made me feel like I was there re-living that moment with her. Her style was cool and she built up the story with conflict. The suspense was awesome because she made it feel like it was going to be good from the start to the end, but then I felt the tension when things became dark and muggy. The argumentation was written well and the story ended on a good note. The writer wrote for her people and you could literally…

    In my opinion the book was likable because of the realistic characters and the exciting events throughout the story line. It also caught my eye because of the differential characters in the book; there was an old and wise character otherwise known as Sol and a young and naïve character known as Alex. The sequences of events were very entertaining, and in the end both of the main characters learned something from each other. This was made clear when Alex learned that parents always love their children no matter what and to take responsibility for his actions. There was always something going on, and it was never boring. One dislike of mine of the book was that it didn’t include enough descriptive details. I would like to see more details when Alex is illegally drunk driving his mom’s car. On the other hand, it did have plenty of exciting events throughout the story like the conflicts between Alex and Sol in the beginning of the book and the plot of the relationship budding between Alex and Laurie. The writing style was quite interesting and it engaged me some as a reader. The plot moved along fairly quickly and didn’t drag too much. It had many exciting events scattered throughout the story and you never were bored. The desire or need of wanting to know what happens next in the story kept me reading it. The characters were easy for me to identify with, and I felt like I actually knew them. I believe that they could be actual people. I think that the type of reader that would enjoy this book would be able to identify with the characters and believe that all people make mistakes. This book would be intended for students grade eight and up, or anyone who enjoys a quick, entertaining, and enjoyable…
