    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…

    One character from my novel, Legend by Marie Lu, who could be identified as a best friend is Day, otherwise known as Daniel.

In this quote the author explains how Day saved June when she was escaping from a skiz fight. This proves that Day could be a best friend because although he is a criminal, he still saved a stranger, showing that he is kind.…

    Although we may think that she is kind and genuine, we can understand that it is not the case if we analyse the story long enough. The unnamed woman does not see that her husband is jealous and forgets that the visit might be awkward for him. Anyhow, due to the lack of her presence in the story, her past is the only thing that can give us a major description of the wife. Carver explains that the fact that she is so unhappy is because of her past relationships through the audiotapes she sends to Robert. Her last partner was part of the military forces, which made them move a lot. “My wife’s officer was posted to one base and then another. She sent tapes from Moody AFB, McGuire, McConnell, and finally Travis, near Sacramento, where one night she got to feeling lonely and cut off from people she kept losing in that moving-around life. She got to feeling she couldn’t go it another step. She went in and swallowed all the pills and capsules in the medicine chest and washed them down with a bottle of gin. Then she got into a hot bath and passed out. But instead of dying, she got sick. She threw up” (Carver, 1981). She felt so lonely and eventually fell into depression, which led her to a suicide attempt. Her attachment to Robert comes from the fact that they still kept in touch even though they were so far from each other, unlike all the other people she had to lose from moving so…
