Although the strategic sequence of how the story is told may seem confusing at first, by the end of the novel its obviously essential to the story's impact. The majority of the story is told as a recount of memories that Miss Nelly Dean witnessed whilst living amongst Catherine and the Earnshaw family. At the beginning of the book Bronte shows you the misery in which many characters are presently living, before then telling how that came to be in a long flashback. The story then is told and continues onto present day, where it is revealed how their individual stories end. This order not only draws the reader in from the beginning but it shows the evolve of the characters  love and hate over time.This flashback order Bronte used helped to stress the central idea that strong feelings of love can destroy a person more than hatred ever could. This plays out between many characters, as they deny and confuse their demise to be their hatred, rather than their immense love. 

As a reader I believe that Scott Card used person vs. self conflict throughout the novel to convey the central idea that, people can't just deal with a part of an issue, they have to defeat the entire issue so it has no chance of recurring. This theme is presented on page 7 when Ender confronts his bully after his monitor is removed, “I have to win this now, and for all time, or I’ll fight it every day and it will get worse and worse.” . Throughout the entire book ender is constantly fighting with himself between staying moral or making the decision that he knows will end with the human race winning but many lives would be lost on both parties of the battle. When ever Ender made a more brutal move in battle he was reminded of his brother, Peter, who tortured Ender his entire childhood.

In the autobiography,  A Stolen Life, a girl named Jaycee Lee Dugard tells us her paralyzingly painful story of what it was like getting kidnapped at age 11, and not being able to speak her own name for the next 18 years of her life. This book was not just inspirational but it was an eyeopener of the unspoken acts of children being kidnapped and raped. We often don't want to hear, learn, or speak much about the cruel and devastating crimes because it's confusing to think that such horrible and seem to be intolerable situations can happen in this world. Jaycee Dugard wrote this book to help other people that might be going through something similar or struggling. Not one detail or feeling she felt during her experience was omitted from the writing because she wanted to let everyone know the truth in complete honesty and did not want to feel like she had to keep this a secret any longer. I highly recommend that people should read this book because I think that people should see what goes on behind closed doors that the public doesn't talk about, and it's such a powerful moving story about Jaycee and gaining her freedom back.

Dugards use of anecdotes helps to convey the idea that people should not lose help. Throughout her story, Jaycee talks about how she never would give up in hopes of seeing her family again. She would not give up fighting because she knew her mom would not give up looking for her, even after 18 years. Sometimes when she was uncertain of her survival, she would look at the moon like her mother and her used to when she lived back home. Jaycee also tells us about the meaning of a pinecone to her. Before she was taken, the last thing she touched when she fell to the ground was a pinecone. The hard and sticky pinecone was her last grip on freedom before her eighteen years in captivity. That feeling has stuck with her in hopes of getting to feel it once again, not just the hard and sticky feeling, but the feeling of freedom. Since Dugard shared her personal stories, and was able to hold on to hope and survive, readers can take away the idea to not lose hope. 

The author, Waris Dirie, used the writing strategy, figurative language, to develop the central idea. The central idea is that people need to overcome tough problems by using perseverance. By frequently using similes and metaphors (figurative language) to deepen the meaning and give a better representation of nomadic lifestyle characteristics not commonly known to the average foreigner. Waris thinks to herself, “I never heard her say, ‘I’m fed up with this, anymore.’ Mama was simply silent and hard as iron” (Dirie, 29). This quote compares Waris’s mother to an iron in the form of a simile. The comparison shows that Waris’s mother is strong. The reader learned that it is important to not give up because things will always get better. The reader can learn this from Waris’s mother being a strong person through her toughest times. Waris’s mother uses the central idea of perseverance developed by the author.

  Throughout the novel Peltzer continues to exude the theme of love and acceptance. Most of his life was spent being rejected by his family. He viewed the world as a hostile, frightening place. This is shown at when he gets to his first foster home, he is frightened, fearing punishment for any misdeed, and scared that he will be returned to his mother. At nights, instead of sleeping, he sits up holding his knees, rocking back and forth and humming to himself. He finds it hard to be accepted and loved by people but eventually learns to gain their trust.  it is when he is with his final foster parents, Harold and Alice Turnbough, that he learns to love and accept love unconditionally as part of a loving family. By the end of the book he can call Alice mother and Harold father without feeling awkward about it.

The book that I have read was a great book. It gave me inspiration to change myself and do good things. It made me think about the decisions I should make and made me a better person in general. Napolean Hill's Keys to Success teaches you the principles on what you should do in life in order to become a  successful person. I would recommend this book to everybody because it teaches you life skills that you will need to know later on in life and who does want to know how to become successful.

The central idea that the author Napolean Hill developed during the story was, in order to be successful you will need to sacrifice the things you want. Most successful people sacrifices time, family, and also the things they like to do. The effective writing strategy that the author used to convey the reader about the central idea was repetition. Napolean Hill constantly says that you know need to always know what you have to do in life. He also said that you have to set goals or milestones for yourself as to go along.

Hosseini uses perspective to convey both the gravity of Amir’s situation and how he deals with it, as well as develop a central idea of redemption, and how it is always possible. Amir learns that despite all he may have done and witnessed, there is still a way for him to redeem his past actions. Looking at the story through Amir’s eyes, the reader gets a constant sense of familiarity, and can see themselves, to a lesser extent, in the character. As Amir describes his tumultuous emotions and immense guilt, the reader gets drawn into the story, and begins to think about many topics that they may not have considered before. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a beautiful book that should be read 
by everyone at least once in their life. 

Aside from these factors, he is also able to use various literary elements to make a beautiful story out of such a tragedy.  One literary element often brought up was diction.  Green uses diction to emphasize certain parts of the novel.  By doing this, the reader gets to experience the characters’ mindsets, actions, and feelings on a whole new level.  I strongly recommend this New York Times bestseller to any reader who enjoys a story filled with romance, humor, friendship, and heartbreak. The friendships and relationships that are created during a devastating time like this are definitely worth reading.  

Orphan Train Girl is a historical fiction novel about a girl named Molly Ayer who had been in the foster care system since she was eight years old. While Molly was helping an old woman named Vivian clean out her attic for community service, she finds that there were many parallels between each of their lives. From Vivian’s flashbacks of her life as an orphan traveling from home to home, Molly learns to open her heart to new people, just as Vivian did. The author cleverly incorporates the historical aspects of the experiences that Orphan Train riders have undergone, with a story to parallel that of the train riders’. This novel is properly suited for the younger but more mature young adult audience. This novel is better suited for the younger reader to understand, but requires maturity due to the seriousness of this time in history. As a reader i would recommend this to the younger, but more mature young adults. 

Kline’s creative use of flashbacks helps the reader develop the central idea by creating a parallel story for the reader to further understand the tortured lives of the orphan train riders. By using flashbacks, the reader is refreshed with a non-fictional perspective of the story to truly feel the pain and loss of being orphaned and alone in the world. Through the sorrow, Kline is able to bring about the central idea that it’s important to forgive, and that it’s equally important to trust and open up your heart to new people. She carefully places the flashbacks throughout the paralleled story, so that the reader can make their connections from different fictional and non-fictional perspectives. The novel  Orphan Train Girl neatly uncovers another important time in the world's history while creating another perspective of the story, that I believe is definitely worth learning about.

There are many central ideas that are expressed in this novel. One of the main themes is that words can have a much deeper meaning and purpose than people may interpret it as, and that language is an extremely powerful tool that is used in different ways. Also, it is important to know who is allowed to speak and who can be told not to speak under certain circumstances. Even today, people abuse language, while others use it for good purposes. Taylor expresses this main idea through well-written characterization and diction. For example, one of the characters in the book is a young white girl named Lillian Jean Simms, who is one of Cassie’s, the protagonist, antagonists. Even at her young age, she had a colorful mouth. One day, Cassie was walking home from school and accidentally bumps into Lillian Jean. Lillian Jean’s reaction was forcing Cassie to apologize and later saying, “You can’t watch where you’re going, get in the road. Maybe that way you won’t be bumping into decent white folks with your nasty self”(86). Even though it is only two sentences, it means a lot. The author is showing that at that time, white citizens considered them to be superior to African-American citizens. While African-American citizens have not done anything to white citizens, they still treated them as inferiorities. These cruel beliefs have originated from adults, and have been passed down to impressionable children, such as Lillian Jean.

Throughout the book Albom develops a central idea which is that everyone in life has a purpose. The writing strategy Albom used to develop this central idea was repetition. Throughout the book there is a lot of repetition used. One example of repetition is the phrase “today is Eddie’s Birthday”. This phrase is used a lot throughout the story to show how each and every birthday Eddie had was special, as well as the things he did that he did not even realize that were essential for his and other people’s lives.

Emma by Jane Austen is a novel focusing around Emma Woodhouse, a bright, headstrong young lady of high class who enjoys getting into others’ business. Throughout the book, she matures after ruining her friend’s chances to marry a man that she thought to be below her friend class-wise. I highly recommend this book to any student who loves good literature. Jane Austen’s calm, relaxed tone flows through the story, whose plot becomes increasingly suspenseful and realistic. Emma is one of the most relatable characters in the book, as her inner struggle with maturity is one all can identify with. There are no mature concepts in this book, however there is advanced vocabulary. I recommend this slow-paced romance to more advanced readers.

Jane Austen uses conflict throughout Emma to reinforce the theme of the blinding power of imagination. During the rising action, both Harriet and Emma are sure that Mr. Elton is in love with Harriet, however, at the climax, it is revealed that he is in fact in love with Emma. Emma’s conflicts with herself over the guilt at having led Harriet away from what may have been her only chance at a life married well indicate that she now sees clues that should have pointed to the truth. Because she had been so obsessed with the idea that Mr. Elton loved Harriet, she had not seen them and believed her imagination until Mr. Elton revealed the truth. Emma’s conflicts with Mr. Knightley also represent the power of imagination. Emma is of the opinion that Mr. Knightley is biased against Harriet and that he enjoys arguing with her decisions when in reality he loves Emma and is trying to protect bother her and Harriet from the consequences of her actions. Emma later imagines that Harriet loves Frank Churchill, which distracts her from the truth, that it is Mr. Knightley Harriet loves. Through conflict, Austen displays the astounding blinding power of imagination.

Lillian Boxfish uses her life experiences to teach others how to be strong. The author, Rooney, uses metaphors and personification to develop this idea. Lillian converses with a diverse crowd of people as she goes through the city, and as she speaks with each individual, the author reveals more to her backstory, which is always complete with a lesson wrapped in a metaphor that is applicable or a broad genre of people.

Within the myriad of skillfully crafted poems in this novel, one motif consistently shines through. Rupi Kaur likes to use figurative language in her poems to emphasize the meaning of each poem. Collectly, her poems refers to one main central idea, which is something along the line of  “Learn to appreciate yourself more than anyone else because you are worth more than anyone has pegged you for or will ever peg you to be”. Her usage of metaphors allows the concept on the central idea to be more vividly explained and is, in turn, more easily grasped. 

I very much enjoyed these books because it relates to the real world a lot in an odd way you would not expect when you pick up your average fantasy book. In a lot of ways, the different kinds of people in the shadow world relate to the different races of people in the real world. In the shadow world, just as there was in the real world, there was a time where one certain kind/type of people thought they were more superior than others. The author had used the 3rd person POV omniscient to effectively develop her central idea. The central idea of the series is that just because people come from different places and/or look different doesn’t mean that they are less superior or have bad/evil intentions. When the author wrote in 3rd person POV omniscient, she had full access to all of her characters feelings. Because she had access to all of her characters feelings, the readers do too, showing how all of the different kinds of people in her story are feeling and thinking. The author wrote about how the downworlders constantly felt. She showed the readers that not all the downworlders had bad intentions, a lot of them were actually quite humane and have morals just as everyone else. The author did such an amazing job developing her story and central idea fully, this is a book I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes fantasy and a book to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering if there will be peace with the downworld, or if the downworld will be destroyed completely. 

Review:Birthmarked was a far cry from an outstanding book.  The story begins with a flat character who in the first scene feels coldly detached from a mother she helping to give birth.  Through this scene and throughout the book she is almost unaffected by begging, and raw emotions in general.  As the story continues, and she sees the fate of rebels who she even sympathizes with, and stillborn babies alike she does not seem as affected as she should be, though it is implied she is growing as a person by her external actions and reactions.  Unfortunately, there was also a true lack of depth to the plot.  By this I mean that the plot´s many tangents could not be properly gone into depth because the author instead tried to describe insignificant details that were unwanted as a reader, filler information if you will.

I would not recommend other students to read this book.

O´Brien used conflict to add to the central idea that knowledge is power.  She did this by making the main character, Gaia, question her life comparatively to those inside the wall, which slowly drew a wedge between her and her society.  As Gaia sees things like rebels standing up for what they believe in, equal treatment for those in and outside the wall,  and sees injustice  after injustice from the water quality and housing to unjust arrests like those of her parents, she eventually fights against the government herself. Through this, she realizes that the only reason she was once satisfied with her life before this information was revealed to her was because she was not given the information she deserved, which added depth to the story.

One of the central ideas of “Everything, Everything” is to take risks, no matter the consequences. The author used foreshadowing, along with other literary devices, to help show this central idea. Throughout the story, the main character, who is sick, only wishes to go outside which she can’t do. During the book, the author foreshadows that she will eventually go outside although she knows she could get really sick if she does. She uses foreshadowing to show that she is potentially planning this and weighing out the risks, and might actually go through with her plan. This helps to show the central idea is to take risk, no matter the consequences, because even though Madeline, the main character, can get seriously sick, she still decides it’s worth the risk and that she has to do this for herself.  

The Odyssey by Homer is an epic that discusses the adventures of Odysseus. Odysseus is a strong Greek leader that was imprisoned on an island and finally is freed. The story discusses his dangerous journey home and his son’s search for him. I would highly recommend this book to avid readers and those interested in Greek mythology. It contains many ideologies of the ancient Greeks and would help to better understand their culture and roots. The story itself is written beautifully by Homer as he incorporates many literary elements into the story, so we can experience this fantastical world for ourselves.

Homer uses vivid imagery to develop many themes . He describes each scene as its own and delves deep in the scenery and the actions of the characters with beautiful diction that fits perfectly, weaving a descriptive image. With this imagery, Homer paints the central idea of to never lose hope and never give up even in the darkest of times. This is because we see that Odysseus loses his crew gradually as they die before his eyes, yet he keeps moving on. We can see each scene vividly as we picture Odysseus’s harsh challenges in the example with his challenge with the Cyclops.  Even has his troops around him perished, we see that his hope is unwavering and he uses his wits to think his way out of the situation he is. We see how with his daring strategy, he pierces the Cyclops’s eye and lets us see how powerful hope is.  We are able to understand this battle because of the imagery that allows us to see what hope should truly represent and how the will to never give is powerful.
