For the summer approaching junior year, we were now required to read a memoir called, "The Color of Water" by James McBride and also another book called, "Breath, Eye, Memory" by Edwidge Danticat.

I read and looked through my sources while writing down useful information and good support for my paper. My example I am using from the Huffington Post is a Dick Cheney article that is about an interview with the former Vice President in which he defends the interrogation methods such as water boarding used on alleged terrorist.
A simple example of this is the fact that her mother’s name is Helen, the name of the famously beautiful woman who began the Trojan War. More allegoric references, such as Alison equating her life to that of Homer’s Odysseus, require more in-depth analysis. She thinks of her life as a journey. She specifically compares her procrastination in completing assigned reading to Odysseus’s delays in his journey.

These events are discussed by several of Ephron’s closest friends in Everything Is Copy, including journalist Marie Brenner. At one point, she chides Jacob Bernstein for not asking her a direct question about his father. She dated Bernstein before he and Ephron met in 1976, and she says that during their affair, he would call his other girlfriends from her telephone.
