The girls were executing every play to perfection. We won the game, silencing a team of seniors who had taunted us for weeks before the game. Almost sweeter than our decisive win, I realized, was the fact that we were celebrating our win as a group of close friends, many of whom we had just made a few short months
The Affect of Culture On Learning Styles and Behavior Nicole Souza Marie’s parents just did not understand. It was Marie’s first time in public school and after years of tutors and home schooling, Marie was smart and bright and going to High school. What Mr. and Mrs Samuels did not understand was why their daughter was struggling in English. She was perfectly prepared for High School. Her parents got the best tutors and followed the most prestigious lesson plans they could find, triple checked that they were teaching her everything, and even went as far as to set up an appointment with every one of her teachers to make sure that she was on the right track.
At the age of 12, Nai was removed from her family of seven siblings and placed in a foster home. At the time, Nai (the second oldest child) and her older sister were caring for their younger brothers and sisters as her parents were usually absent. Being placed in foster care was extremely difficult for the siblings, who were separated and sent to live in different counties. Nai had become used to serving as caretaker for her younger siblings, and spent the first couple of years in foster care worrying about her brothers and sisters. Visitation opportunities together were rare, and over time Nai became resentful of and disappointed in her parents for being unable to “put the family back together again.” She had a very difficult time dealing
Julia and Dale have a budding romantic relationship, which tells me that she is a good person and in the story it describes their strong relationship which is usually between two people with high standards, not low like the Rennie’s. Both Dale and Julia are gutsy and tough, brave enough to try any chance they might have for survival. Julia comes from a family of news executives; the newspaper is a family concern. She was groomed early for success and was viewed by her peers as a "goody-two-shoes." A confrontation with her classmates in fourth grade caused her to rethink her status and changed the course of her academic career; however, this same confrontation is a key in helping her formulate a plan to end the siege.
Claire Standish was the popular prom queen, wealthy conceited princess, but unlike her I was a highly sociable individual. When I was a freshman in high school, all I ever visualized was being captain of the cheerleading team and becoming prom queen of class 2010. Being prom queen would mean so much to me, as it meant just as much to Claire Standish. Claire was prom queen of her graduating class and to her it was everything she ever wished for, and something I was hoping for. So I worked
That is what she longed for and eventually what she gets. The Protagonist of the story is the narrator whose name we never know. She meets who she thought was her best friend in the 7th grade named Terri. Terri came from a rich family and background and moved to Rio Del from the Washington area and went to Valle Junior High halfway through October of her 7th grade year. It was apparent throughout the story that the narrator held a little jealousy towards Terri because she had things that the narrator would never have such as contact lenses for her eyes and expensive, popular clothing.
Now that’s growing up without a childhood. Jane Smiley seems like a great parent who cares about her children but to allow her daughters to put on makeup even entering their teenage years just isn’t right. Her girls where prematurely growing up, where behaving beyond their age, and with their only priority being beautiful at all times it seem to help them in the long run. As they burned off the “Barbie stage” and grew into more important things down their lives. Like for example Smiley talks about her older daughter, “Now she is planning to graduate school and law school and become an expert on woman’s health issues, perhaps adolescent health issues like anorexia and bulimia” (377).

But because she had to go to a detention centre, the social worker basically forced her into going to this class. Anne is very smart too, but she won a scholarship.”’…it wasn’t a boy that took the Avery scholarship was it? It was a girl-my girl- my girl that I’m proud of.’”(Page 292, Montgomery) Anne was at the top of the class most of her time at Avonlea School, and this lead her to win the Avery scholarship.
