New York Times best-selling author, Janet Evanovich has written some attention grabbing, heart wrenching books throughout her years. She has also captured the attention of people across the nation by selling the rights to the first book in her Stephanie Plum series to Columbia Tristar. Does she create her stories purely from her imagination, or does her life influence how she writes her books? Janet Evanovich did not start out as a writer but as an artist. She studied art at Douglass College in New Jersey for four years before she realized that it was not right for her and decided to take up writing.
It’s Me, Margaret because it’s one of those books that everybody except me had read – it’s a classic! But here’s my thoughts on reading it as a 14-year-old girl who got the opportunity to read it as an actual pre-teen.. Published in 1970, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret seems to be Judy Blume’s most famous novel Margaret Simon likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain and things that are pink. At 11-years-old, she’s just moved from busy NYC to the quiet suburbs – Farbrook, New Jersey – where she’s faced with a whole bunch of weird new firsts.
Many people may say insidious is such a strong word for two harmless words. But these words can be harmful to many people. I like to call them dangerous words because they put people in their own category. They show the separation between people even now in the days that we believe that we are all equal. “We and them” are words that people use in everyday life and they have no clue that they are so insidious.
The chapter shows how being a minority in a school can affect a child and their learning habits as well as social interaction. When reading through this chapter I thought of a personal situation I was in, the time I first found out who my roommate was going to be during my freshman year at college. I did the typical teenage thing and looked her up on Facebook and saw the way she was spelling and typing in what you would call “ghetto” way. I went into the situation thinking she was going to be an illiterate girl who could care less about her studies. It turned out that I was completely wrong and she was actually one of the best writers I have come across.
The other books just had a couple of large issues that were easy to talk about. I’ll do my best to keep this summary short. The format of the story is about a freshman in high school who is writing to an “anonymous” friend. The young man, Charlie, just lost a friend, possibly his only friend to a suicide has psychological problems, can’t get the one girl he loves; while at the same time is an absolute genius. He thinks out loud to his “friend” about a lot of things that are very thought-provoking.
In this essay I am going to talk about how illegal immigration can be a good thing but also can be a bad thing for some people. A lot of people say illegal immigration is a bad thing. I agree with them to a certain point. They say it’s bad because of all the drug trafficking going on on the border today. I agree with those statements.

They develop character throughout the movie and at the end, have turned on a light in others’ lives and in their own lives. Erin Gruwell was an inexperienced first time English teacher. She had no idea what to expect or what was going to happen with the students of Room 203. The students had difficult upbringings and were exposed to gang violence every day and because of this, many of the students had lost hope. Erin saw the students differently to the other teachers at Wilson High.
Rowling listened to criticism and then brushed it off, she kept on looking for a publisher, and eventually found one. As history shows, these publishers were immensely wrong in rejected Rowling’s works. Her works eventually sold for over 450 million copies. If she hadn’t had brushed off the destructive criticism from the publishers, she might’ve never become a success; however, with her keen insight, she stuck with her works, and became a renowned author. In middle school, all I wanted to do was play tennis.
