Yes Melissa Heaston Instructor Gina Crawford English 101 September 13, 2011 Marissa: A very special little girl The purpose of this essay is to let the reader know how a special little girl who was born with Microcephaly (small brain), which causes developmental delays, is determined to walk and talk just like all other little girls.

The Good and The Bad Girls, men cannot live with them; men cannot live without them. Some girls can be risky, harmful, unsafe, or just plain old dangerous. On the other hand, they can also be sweet, harmless, risk-free, or innocent. As boys grow up to become men they start realizing that girls are all detrimental to their health and play big roles in their lives. Whether it be good times or bad times in a man’s life.
Girls see guys go for the girls that dress scantily clad, the ones that would rather wake up 2 hours earlier just to cake their faces on, the ones that rather go to a school that has hotter guys than a better education, the ones that flirt with all the boys, the girls that think about themselves and have no regards for others, we see it, we good girls see it all. We good girls are usually deemed the ugly friend, the backup, the one the guys would make their wives, but not their girlfriend at the moment. We are the ones that fall for the good boys, but the boys are blinded by the "beauty" of the bad girls. They get caught up in those girls, and what does that leave us good girls to do? Wait.
The first text has a lot of text but text two has barely text. In extract one, the blog post, the author speaks about being a mother and how she knows ‘the best of mothers’. Allison Tate starts of by saying farewell to the best of mothers and wives. She then goes on to introduce Katy Gerke who was possibly the best mother. The author gives importance to how Katy Gerke had read all 1,200 pages of the Lord of the Rings trilogy to her three young sons.

For two girls who were so close to suddenly stop being friends is surprising but not when you think of the jealousies between them. In the short story “Jinx” Aimee Bender focuses on two young girls, Tina and Cathy, who are inseparable. The way both of these girls are entering adult hood and becoming of age is that they both realize they are growing up and their bodies are changing for example, when “they were both wearing the hot new pants and both had great butts, discovered on their bodies, a gift from the god of time, boom a butt.
In the end, Qamrah is a single parent living a life of a pariah with her parents. Michelle is successful professional and lives on her own terms. Sadeem after being dejected in love twice opens her own bridal store and eventually marries her cousin. Lamees is the only one of the four girls who finds both professional as well as personal happiness and marries the man she loves. MY EMOTIONAL CONNECT WHILE READING THE BOOK The main reason why I loved reading this book and why to this date I remember the story is that I was able to emotionally connect with the story.
Her story, although we might not know if they’re completely true, tells of a woman who knew how to use her resources to gain the maximum out of her life. The men in her life were, for the most part, submissive, scared, and a little tortured by her. That is no way for a man to act, so to get them so willing, she had to have some power over them. As much as I respect her and really like her abilities, she does have a couple downfalls.

Their looks are being compared in the text, and we get the impression that she is just as ugly as Celia. Just like Celia she is wearing glasses and is a little chunky too. Elizabeth is bullying Celia just as much as the other kids, but in some way she appreciates her to. She knows that wasn’t it because of Celia, she would be the
Like Cinderella Jane is a poor, unfortunate girl when growing up. Unlike Cinderella though, she was never known for her beauty; yet Mr. Rochester fell deeply in love with her. Despite the fact that she wasn’t beautiful, she had another trait that intrigued Mr. Rochester: her intelligence. When Miss Ingram was visiting Mr. Rochester for a period of time at his home entertaining him Jane notes how beautiful she is, but instead of becoming jealous she pities her.

Reflecting on my life, I realized that in many ways my values are the same as hers. I have received a rich inheritance which includes, above all, a deep love for family.

Being the second oldest of eleven, I can remember the excitement of my mother's last three pregnancies.
