    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. Tan uses a sympathetic tone to relate to the awkward teenage reader that is experiencing the same thing and the nostalgic adult reader that has experienced.…

    speak by Lauren anderson

    Speak by Laurie Anderson, is the type of book that makes you really think about the choices you will have in your life. It is about friendship, and how art is the only way you can really express yourself. Speak has all the parts for a successful “teen” drama. It has suspense that makes your eyes want to fly across the page, back and forth until you know what, why, and how the book turns out in the end. I have read almost one third of the book and I now know a lot about Melinda life and why she so isolated and insecure. Melinda is still struggling with the secrete she been keeping inside her, she is constantly being urged to speak, often by celebrities she imagines talking to her. For example, when Melinda feverishly imagines daytime talk show hosts giving her advice, she hears Jerry Springer telling her, "Speak up […], Melinda, I can't hear you!" (76.6). the real people in Melinda's life are also urging her to talk. Mr. Freeman, Melinda's art teacher, is the only adult who can clearly see that Melinda is holding a secret that's tearing her apart. He encourages her to express her emotions through art and to speak her secrets out loud.…

    I also thought the plot was very intriguing . The storyline consisting of various ways our protagonists die was actually very interesting, and rather spot on to what would be the ideal way one of the characters would die, coinciding to each character and their repritiore. For the two teenagers who died in the car accident, it would be very logical to think so because of all the teen drvivng accidents and deaths resulting from them you see on the news. The business woman who died by getting hit by a bus while on her cell phone, does prove that its dangerous to be on your cellular device while in traffic, as her character joins the ranks of those who have perished the same…

    Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek by Maya Van Wagenen is a great novel with a thrilling plot, many unique characters, and quite a few realistic conflicts. Popular is a memoir and biography where Maya Van Wagenen tells her story of being a teenager and her experience of experimenting on how to be popular. Although there are many novels discussing Popularity, Popular by Maya Van Wagenen is different from all the rest. Popular is different from all of the other "popularity" books because in the end of the story there is a good ending with some good messages. Many of the popularity books end with the girl getting the guy, however this is not what happens in Popular by Maya Van Wagenen. Maya discovers that being herself and being caring and more open to people is the most important value of being popular. Popular is a very interesting novel that is informational and sends a wonderful message to young readers. Popular discusses many of the main issues teenagers face in society today. For example, while Maya is trying to be popular she faces many "road blocks" such as acne, and being a little bit overweight.

    Jenna Fox is one of the characters I found interesting in the novel ‘The Adoration of Jenna Fox’ by Mary Pearson. The novel is written in first person narrative, which helps reveal Jenna’s thoughts, hopes, fears, and dreams. Another technique that Pearson used to help expose Jenna’s personality is character relationships, which helps the reader to learn more about Jenna from another point of view. A third way that the author made Jenna interesting to me was by making Jenna the same age as the target audience, which helps the readers and I to sympathise with her. Collectively, these techniques help to make Jenna interesting to me.…

    Young girls do need a positive way to express themselves, however beauty pageants main focus is on the outward appearance, and does not focus on inner beauty. Some will say that beauty pageants are superficial and sexualize women in the sense that they are only objects that obsess over their appearance. The fact of the matter is that beauty pageants influence unhealthy behaviors and allows girls to feel inferior to each other instead of viewing each other as friends or allies who are all facing the same unrealistic norms of beauty. Anne Dingus, a former senior editor for Texas Monthly brings up the topic of how wonderful and inviting beauty pageants really can be, as well as brining up the fact that even viewers who watch pageants at home “cannot deny their love for the Miss America pageant.” In a way these viewers are blinded to the reality of the pageant world unless it is a parent. Mothers who put their young daughters at the ages of four and five years old into these pageants have their own opinions of the harsh words they receive on a daily bases about their daughters in pageants. One parent states that “everyone acts like I am trying to sexualize my daughter, but it's ridiculous. If I put Maddy in a Jason costume for Halloween, would people think I was trying to turn her into a serial killer?” ( Charlotte Triggs, with Kay West, Elaine…
