    Princess Erin Watt Quotes

    Paper Princess Erin Watt,“ Besides his sperm my father's watch was the only thing he left behind” (chapter 1). This line was an absolute favorite of mine. It could be interpreted in so many different ways. Her tone could be bitter, feeling as if the man she she was supposed to call father only cared enough to just leave her a lousy watch. Or maybe she means to have a playful tone, laughing at the fact that he was so inconsiderate and that he doesn't deserve any hateful feelings she has to offer. However this simple line is interpreted it can say a lot about her character either way. The fact that this is said so early in the book I believe the author leaves us to make a choice what we think about her character so early on. Weather we believe…

    Quotes In Dolores Frediscoll

    The bus driver for the town of Sam Dent, Dolores Driscoll, seems very nice and caring, but there are definitely many examples throughout the first chapter that show her to be quite goofy. First of all, a lot of the things she says and the phrases that she uses are very out there and do not seem to make a whole lot of sense. In the second paragraph on page eleven Dolores says, “Doreen was a Pomeroy from Lake Placid, a sweet little ding-a-ling of a girl”. On page 31 paragraph two Dolores also says, “...and it scared the bejesus out of me, although I could not for the life of me tell you why”. These two sentences make her seem a little loony because the things she says are so unique, and even I rarely ever her people use those phrases. This is just one example of how the author portrays Dolores to be just a bit nutty.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Lady-Like Quotes

    Have you ever found a character, maybe in a tv show, or book, that you can relate to the most (especially by a landslide)? Some people could say yes to the moon and back, while some people have never related that much to a character in their life. For me, I’m more of the former, and I found a character to relate to in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; Scout Finch. To explain, Scout and I take longer than others to understand things, which could cause frustration in others (mainly peers), and we’re both put under at least some pressure to be more “lady-like”. There’s other similarities too, but they’re either not as significant or I couldn’t find as much quotes to support them.…
