Character Analysis: The Breakup Bible
Abolishing Adversity Many people go through situations where they don’t know what to do and it is hurting them but they don't know how to get out of it. In the The Breakup Bible Jen went through a hardship of a terrible breakup and the story that I am comparing it to about Malala she is fighting for girls education that many are against. Jennifer the main character of the book says, “I’d gotten a lifetime’s worth of depressing “help” just from The Breakup Bible’s table of contents and introduction. The last thing I needed right now was for Nana to read the entire book out loud to the like it was the actual Bible” (Kantor 136).Malala has a situation relating to Jennifer because they both experience a problem, fight through their hard ships, …show more content…

The first time that Max ever knowledge Jennifer was at a party. “Just as I walked by, Max turned his head toward the open door and brushed the hair out of his eyes. And then he saw me. Max raised his eyebrow at me and gestured to the empty spot on the sofa next to him, and I went over and sat down without either of us saying a word” (Kantor 6). This was the love of Jennifer’s life, being with him is all she wanted and when he broke up with her it was the beginning to all of her problems. She had been waiting forever to be with him and then the day that he broke her heart was the day she thought it was the end of the world. All Malala wanted was a gils education she had multiple people against her for wanting this but a big one was the Taliban. Malala wanted people to know how she felt about woman with no education so she wrote a speech called, “How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?” After the speech she knew that the Taliban were after her and her family so it was the beginning to more problems. She didn't quite know how to react to knowing someone was after her, but she was very strong throughout it.

    While on her journey to receive education rights for all people, she and her dad were threatened every day. She wasn’t afraid, and she knew that her family would do their best to keep her as safe as possible. She was probably scared at first, but she went on to conquer her fears and overcame her fear of the threats thrown at her. “What terrifies religious extremists like the Taliban are not American tanks or bombs or bullets, it’s a girl with a book” (p. 14). This quote shows her insuppressible amount of courage, more than most people have. She continued to be courageous and have hope for the future, knowing that whatever is bound to happen, will happen. Even after being shot, Malala showed great amounts of courage. She wasn’t afraid, and she even said, “They thought that the bullets would silence us” (p. 13). Malala kept her head held high, and showed no fear, for if she did, she may have gotten herself killed. “I wasn’t scared, but I had started making sure the gate was locked at night and asking God what happens when you die” (p. 14). She said it herself, she wasn’t scared; hence, the amount of courage it took to say that was…

    I believe that Jennifer’s inability to become pregnant is affecting her self-concept because she feels that she is at fault. Just like many men feel that they must have a child with a woman to prove that they are a man, it is their masculine duty; thus, as a woman, Jennifer feels that she must get pregnant to prove that she is a woman, it is her feminine duty. Not being able to become pregnant or carry full term is affecting her self-concept, and self-esteem. Other stress factors are also responsible, the fact that she may have to put her father in a nursing home may…

    When the letters do eventually start again, we see various mood swings, from a ‘passionate outrage and protest’ to later, a ‘quiet, resigned bitterness’. This mood swings are a direct result of ‘pressure’. We discover how Jennet is being put under pressure to ‘give up the child for adoption’, however Jennet adamantly refuses, repeatedly she states how they would ‘never be parted’. Her love for him is so strong that at one point Jennet goes as far as asserting how she would ‘kill us both before I let him go’.…

    When we consider a relationship/marriage, we hear time and time again about the ingredients that make a relationship/marriage work. Love, honesty, trust and communication are a few of those that normally soar to the top of the list. We are also familiar with the actions that lead to the destruction of a relationship/marriage. Infidelity, abuse and neglect all go to the top of that list. However, do we ever consider those things that we don’t necessarily see as destroying a relationship/marriage, but over time can definitely lead to the wear and tear of a relationship?…

    While education is known for its abilities to stimulate intellectual development, consequently, it nurtures resilience in the process. Resilience isn’t a trait that’s been innately programmed and ready to use when necessary, but rather a skill that is developed and built through experience especially when an individual suffers adversity. It’s a quality admired by many for its adaptability and elasticity when faced with failure, however, it isn’t a quality that many possess. For instance, Malala Yousafzai is an excellent example of resilience. In I Am Malala, Malala says “I don’t want to be thought of as the ‘girl who was shot by the Taliban’ but the ‘girl who fought for education. This is the cause to which I want to devote my life” (Yousafzai…
