The Devil Wears Prada
The novel “The Devil Wears Prada” by Weisberger is about a girl named Andrea moved to New York and found a job as a junior assistant of a fashion magazine editor. However, Andrea has a hard time on her job. Furthermore, her relationships with her family and friends get very bad because she is too hard-working. However, at the end of this novel Andrea makes her own way out by her careful and wisdom. After reading the novel, I found myself and the protagonist of the novel, Andrea are both too hard-working and careful.
Andrea and I are both so hard working that we forgot our families and friends. In the novel, Andrea is working very hard that she put all her time and energy into her job, so Andrea does not have any time for her family and friends. For example, in the novel Andrea promise to call her boyfriend at three o’clock, but she was very busy at her work that she never gets to call her boyfriend the whole day. I was very busy at work once, and I totally forgot to tell my mother that I will be getting off from work one hour later than usual. My mother was waiting for me at the supermarket one hour.
Furthermore, I found myself and Andrea are both very careful that we notice or remember small things that others do not. Andrea finally made her boss approve with her ability because Andrea is very careful and she notices and remembers things that her boss does not. For instance, Andrea and her boss went to a big fashion party in Paris, and there were so many famous fashion designers. Many people came and greet to Andrea’s boss, but her boss does not recognize any of them. However, Andrea memorizes all guests name by flipping through guests list. After that her boss was very impress on Andrea’s careful. I found myself is very similar to Andrea. I always remember to check the address of the place we are going to, when all of my friends forgot to check.
I enjoy reading this book very much because I have the

In modern America there’s more responsibilities that have to be taken cared of. Now, there is no time to time to waste. Gopnik worries about his daughter’s imaginary friend by writing, “I was concerned, though, that Charlie Ravioli might also be the sign of some “trauma,” some loneliness in Olivia’s life reflected in imaginary form” (154).

    Mexico has assimilated the American version of Halloween into their culture, while still keeping Día de Los Muertos traditions alive. Individuals refer to it to as Día de Las Brujas or “Night of the Witches”. The fete has different layers of meaning depending on social status. Those with a higher social standing buy into the commercialization by purchasing costumes, decorating lavishly, and attending parties or parades. Brandes states in “The Day of the Dead, Halloween, and the Quest for Mexican National Identity” that “Unlike in the United States, I have rarely seen a Mexican adult wear a costume-or even a portion of a costume” (372). Children are the target audience rather than adults. The poorer classes see Día de Las Brujas as a profitable…

    This story relates to situations in my life because I have an extremely busy schedule like the character Michael in the story. The combination of school work, team practices and family life makes it feel like I do not have enough time in every day to get everything done. I play for two ice hockey teams, Bishop Eustace and Team Comcast, which means practices four times a week and games four times a week. If the games are away it could sometimes mean a two hour trip each way plus the game time. When you add in school everyday from 8 until 2:30 and the required homework it feels like there is not enough time in the day. I can understand where a child could get worn out and…

    Dan Brown’s fictional novel, The Da Vinci Code, is one of the most popular books in recent history. In fact it’s over forty million copies sold worldwide is second only to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series (Koyzis 1). Along with its astounding popularity, the novel also has aroused a great deal of controversy within the religious community. Most of the hysteria is centralized over the plot of the story which claims that Jesus Christ had a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene, creating a bloodline known as the Holy Grail. Although the book is fiction, Brown’s claims have been heralded as truth. Dan Brown himself recognizes his work as truth by saying, “All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals are accurate” (Holding 2). This report recognizes the work “Re-sexualizing the Magdalene: Dan Brown’s Misuse of Early Christian Documents in The Da Vinci Code” by Nancy Calvert-Koyzis and an article by James P. Holding, “The Da Vinci Code: Revisiting a Cracked Conspiracy.” These articles, despite the use of different interpretive perspectives, arrive at a common conclusion which proves that Dan Brown falsely interpreted historical documents, and his book is nothing more than fiction.…
