Margret and H.A. Rey are well known authors of the popular children’s series starring Curious George. What is not so well known about them is why these books and others they have written contain the themes that they do. Margret and H.A. Rey had a very rich and tumultuous life before publishing their first children’s book. Their Jewish heritage during an age of war against Jews and the subsequent escape by bike to safety inspired a lot of George’s narrow escapes from trouble after being too curious. They are husband and wife and also a fully self-dependent author illustrator team. The illustrations across all of their books reflect a particular style, not only in Curious George, as well as multiple common themes. Of their large collection, the most notable stories are that of Cecily G. and the 9 Monkeys, the original seven Curious George stories, and The Stars.…

Marlena is a modern 1930’s women. She is described to have short, blonde, curly hair, and is very petite. She is very beautiful, but at the same time is also smart and gutsy. Unlike many other typical girl main characters, Marlena is very bold. She isn’t the damsel in distress, and doesn’t show many weaknesses of herself. She is her own person, and she isn’t afraid to show it throughout the novel. For example: There is a part of the book between August, Marlena, and Jacob where the three are drinking wine, and celebrating the success of the circus. As the celebration (and drinking) continues, August becomes suspicious of Marlena and Jacob’s relationship, and hits Marlena. She soon leaves August, and does not take him back, despite his begging and pleading. She isn’t afraid to stand up for…
John Green has this given ability to squeeze every detail about a character into this novel. This allows the reader to be able to create a deep connection with a character based on the descriptive background, appearance and traits that the author clearly depicts. Imaging a character how an author describes really allows one to open their mind to the world of the character and their lives. However, John Green uses situational irony again to assist in the character’s development by giving the reader an explanation of the character, but later on the reader discovers a completely hidden side to the character. This is especially evident in Margo Spigelman because one may believe she is beautiful, happy, and poor when in reality she experiences an unhappy and rich lifestyle. This is shown when Margo leaves town and leaves behind those mysterious clues for those who truly understand her…

Later on she explains how she is a paper girl being all fake and needing to travel around instead of being stuck in one…

Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players ever, once said, “These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.” Like many of Kobe’s adversaries, I too felt like I was playing checkers. In school, much like in basketball, there are people who have mastered the game. These are the students that do not panic when given a writing assignment or research paper. However, I am not one of these students.

When the professor finished explaining the dreaded assignment, a man introduced himself. Unannounced to me, this man would change the fearful way I viewed research papers.…
