    Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson is written from Isabel’s point of view in first person, which gives many advantages and several disadvantages to the story. An advantage of using this point of view is the reader sees what Isabel is thinking and feeling. “Madam will beat you bloody, he’s not your concern, it’s not your place. Go back, go back before it’s too late” (216) With this point of view, the reader is aware of what Isabel is thinking, something that would not be possible with another point of view. Knowing what the character is thinking gives the reader a better sense of presence, and in this case furthers the tension and creates a layer of uncertainty about the other characters. Another advantage of this point of view is it makes it more…

    Tuck Everlasting, a book that will leave an impression, is written by Natalie Babbitt, a person who shows the reader her determination to convey a beautiful fantasy while using figurative language to hold the readers everlasting attention. In my opinion, Tuck Everlasting is a lovely piece of art in the finest sense. The use of figurative language did in fact hold my attention, and did in fact leave a long-lasting impression on me. In the third or fourth grade, I had read Tuck Everlasting as a reading assignment in school. Let’s just say I wasn’t exactly the one to be caught with a book in my hands, but Tuck Everlasting is one of the books that made me enjoy reading much, much more than sitting around and watching television. I had remembered…
