    Uglies Scott Westerfeld Analysis

    In Uglies, a dystopian novel by Scott Westerfeld, Tally gained a lot more self-confidence through her time with Shay and being out in the smoke, I feel that this makes her chose smarter choices. At a point in Westerfeld’s book, Tally gets confronted by a cruel looking pretty who calls her ugly (PG. 280). Usual her thoughts when a pretty referred to her as an ugly were along the lines of “I’m not an ugly for long,” or she would simply agree with them, but when the pretty said this she got notably angry and clenched her jaw. This hinted that she didn’t agree with what the pretty had said or that it triggered something (old ugly life) in her that influenced her to go to some drastic measures.…

    Love, Stargirl By Jerry Spinelli

    While I have read one book by Jerry Spinelli I’ve never taken the time to learn about the author. I started my search for information by going to his official website and checking out his frequently asked question page. I learn that his writing process changes a lot and that sometimes he is able to write a book in a month and then other times it takes more than a year to publish a new book. Another thing I learn is that he gets his inspiration from his memories and everyday life. The most interesting thing I have learned so far is that he writes because he feels his experiences are not real unless he writes them down.…

    "The Making of a Slut" by Naomi Wolf's

    Naomi Wolf's essay "The Making of a Slut" describes the conditions and circumstances in which society labels woman as being "good" or "bad" girls and the consequences that go along with each of those labels. It may or may not be morally ok to a "bad" girl. What is important is that a woman does not obtain that label. Wolf makes a point that even after the sexual and feminist revolution, society still has different rules for men and women when it comes down to their sexual history. Society will scrutinize and criticize women more if they are sexually active.…
