13 January 2013 Becca Fitzpatrick's: Hush Hush Angels have only been two kinds in my mind. Good angels and bad angels. But after reading Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, a whole new world of different types of angels have opened up. The concept of fallen angels, guardian angels and nephilims have totally blown my mind. But one concept in particular had left me wondering if this was all actually real. If angels existed and had “normal” senses like humans. If they had the ability to love and care for each other. But what if angels did have all those components and were real like humans? It would be like half of the world undercover. However, that's what its like in the popular novel Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. An ordinary world filled with secrets. Secrets that are not meant to be unleashed. Love, jealousy and hate mix within this novel between three characters. Two mysteriously dangerous guys and one strong but innocent girl. The following review of Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, will include the summary of the book's content along with its major weaknesses and strengths. In the novel Hush Hush, Nora Grey lived an “okay” life. Since her father passed away she lives with her mother and house keeper Dorothea. Surprisingly her life had actually been bearable with the help of her best friend Vee. But when a new student comes to her high school and is forced to be her lab partner in science, her life turns upside down. With his extremely attractive features, chocolate abs, blue eyes and heavenly hair, Patch not only grabs the attention of Nora, but he also annoys her tremendously. With his mysterious yet alluring aura, Nora not wanting to have anything to do with Patch gets unintentionally attracted to him making her wonder why. But Patch holds a dark secret. He's a fallen angel. When Nora meets Elliot, a student from King-horn Preparatory, a high class school, she not only

    The author of,”Silence Is Goldfish”, Annabel Pitcher, has experienced many things. Some time back, Pitcher went to Oxford University, earning a degree in English literature, and began to work for television before she realized what she truly wanted to do (Page 1, Pitcher, Annabel). On the other hand, currently, Pitcher is a mother, and still writes when she can (Page 1, “ANNABEL PITCHER AUTHOR”). She got her inspirations from many things along the way. Some from television, and another from her own experiences as a teenager. With this book, however, “Silence Is Goldfish”, was inspired by the things we all do, but no one questions, such as the white lies we all tell. Some other books written by Pitcher include,”My Sister Lives…

    Alicia Partnoy an Argentinian who was kidnapped and held as a prisoner in what was called “The little School” shares with us her personal testimony. In her time there her along with all the other prisoners were forced to wear blindfolds, preventing them from talking to or even seeing one another. They were tortured on a regular basis. One of the consistent themes I noticed was how the guards destroyed the prisoners’ sense of human dignity. Giving them little food, rarely letting them shower, torturing women for information along with many other horrible things. In many cases, the guards would force prisoners like Partnoy to strip for them. Through all these horrible events happening all at once Alicia managed to remain strong on page 43 she…

    In She Unnames Them, the narrator’s name is not mentioned, but it seems to be referring to Eve. To demonstrate, the narrator mentions that, “I resolutely put anxiety away, went to Adam, and said, “You and your father lent me this—gave it to me, actually” (LeGuin 1985). This signifies that the narrator is Eve. The narrator expresses a sense of unity towards animals, because she wants both her and animals to be treated equally. As a result, the narrator convinced the animals that names are not important, they are only used as identifiers. The narrator wants to feel close to animals because of their existence on Earth and their connection with nature, which symbolizes an ecofeminist position. According to Le Guin, “among the domestic animals,…

    In 1956, a woman from middle class Manchester, New Hampshire wrote a book that shocked the nation. At 32 years old, Grace Metalious wrote the blockbuster novel Peyton Place. It transformed the publishing industry and made the author one of the most talked about people in the nation. Metalious wrote about incest, abortion, sex, rape, adultery, repression, lust, and the secrets of small town New England, things that were never discussed before in conservative America. She interpreted incest, wife beating, and poverty as social failures instead of individual flops. When Metalious published Peyton Place, the country was in the grasp of a new wave of sexual panic. The book turned the "private" into the "political." The avant-garde disturbed the…

    Firstly, the two main characters in this story, Kitty and Stew, are crucial elements of the story to present its theme. When Kitty was a child, her and Stew were intimate. She would laugh at her father's jokes about playing with the hairs of his nose. (Gaitskill, 290) This intimacy did not last as Kitty hit her teenage years which are known to result in big personal changes. She now despised her father's jokes. This period of her life is when the intimacy with Stew is lost. Later, she "turned into a glum, weird teenager that other kids picked on. She got skinny and ugly."(Gaitskill, 290) The situation gets more complicated when Kitty tells her parents that she is a lesbian. Stew is so ashamed of her that he no longer knows how to be close with his daughter. When she is twenty-two, she visits her parents for Christmas and she is beautiful again: "It was a beauty that both offended and titillated his senses."(Gaitskill, 293) Stew wants to be intimate with Kitty but the fact that she is so different holds him back. By writing the article in the magazine Self, Kitty explains how she would like to be close with her father again but it is hard for her to speak her thoughts: ‘The article went on to describe how Kitty hung up the phone feeling frustrated and then listed all the things that she could've said to him to let him know how hurt she was, paving the way for "real communication."'(Gaitskill, 295) By putting emphasis on the relationship of Kitty and Stew, Gaitskill manages to convey the theme without…
