Literary Critique Ellen Hopkins - Crank Ellen Hopkins manages to twist the deep pit in your stomach and make you feel emotions you might not know you could feel, with her book, Crank. I whole-heartedly give this book a ten out of ten rating.

Tina Cooper, in her article entitled “The Use of Power and Influence by a Medieval Woman”, said that “Discovering the life of a medieval woman can be a lot tougher than tracing that of a man. There are fewer resources available for us to trace a medieval woman's way of life as opposed to that of a man with equal station at the time”.
