Book Report: Green Angel
Letter of Encouragement

Dear Readers, As I read the story of the Green Angel, I learned that having a painful past is so hard to face. Whenever someone’s asking you to tell him or her about your past you’re always keeping quite. In the story, green never tell her past until she found out that she was in love with diamond. The guy who changed her and to encourage her to tell the real story behind her past. The story of the Green Angel is full of love and the characters are full of symbolism, this fairy tale will especially appeal to teen girls and would make a fine read aloud. The story is full of moral lesson and it will give you inspiration. To encourage you not to keep the pain in your past because it is not the solution to your problem. I suggest that we must follow what green have done to free her pains. I hope you will read the story of the Green Angel because it is beautiful and full imaginations.

    Killer Angels Book Review

    • 1741 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The novel I chose for the historical book review is called The Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara. This novel is about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, and it is written from the perspective of the people fighting while sharing their thoughts and feelings about the battle as it goes on. Although it is historical fiction, The Killer Angels centers around the Battle of Gettysburg, which, of course, really took place. While the strategy of the battle is factual, the dialogue is fictitious. The book starts with a Foreword that gives details of the armies and people involved. Four main chronological sections cover the days of Monday, June 29, 1863, through Friday, July 3, 1863, while switching between viewpoints Union and Confederate participants. An Afterword tells the reader what happens to several of the key characters. Even though a chapter is written from one commander's perspective, the author still allows you to see what some of the other characters in those scenes are thinking. Without this way of writing the novel, the reader wouldn’t truly be able to understand thoughts and opinions of the soldiers, so some of the choices wouldn't have made as much sense. Shaara included the arguments between characters about how to go about the attack, which gives the reader much more details about how complicated the few days of the battle were.…

    Gifted author of Fish Cheeks, Amy Tan, assures young girls that being different is not only acceptable, but also advantageous. Rhetorical strategies-such as imagery, tone, diction, and appeals (logos, ethos, pathos)-were the brushes with which she painted a portrait of self-acceptance for teenage girls everywhere.

    Katharyn Howd Machan's poem, “Hazel Tells Laverne”, humorously ridicules fairytales. The narrator, Hazel, recounts the night of her encounter with a talking frog when cleaning the Howard Johnson's Hotel's bathroom. The frog bargains that a kiss to his nose can turn Hazel into a princess. Hazel reacts to the offer by repeating “me a princess” throughout the poem to emphasize how ridiculous and unrealistic she finds the idea to be. Besides, frogs don't talk. Hazel blatantly declines, and flushes the “little green pervert” (20) three times down the toilet. Hazel ludicrously believes that a woman of her social status can become a princess overnight, especially with the help of a talking frog. The poem suggests realism, not idealism. Fairytales…

    The book, Honor and the American Dream: Culture and Identity in a Chicano Community, and the film, Salt of the Earth, both relay to their audience, the pursuit of happiness within the Chicano community in which they live. These works aim to show how Mexican-American immigrants fight to keep both their honor and value systems alive in the United States of America, a country which is foreign to their traditions.

    I will not even pretend to grasp the subtleties of the entire play, and admit to not understanding much of its political and social context. But none of these factors prevented me from enjoying this human drama that spoke directly to me even when I wasn't sure what it was saying. The play Angels in America, to me, dealt with homophobia, intolerance, view points of identity, tradition and heritage, prejudice and stigma, and AIDS. These caused the main characters many problems and pressure to be something they weren't.…
