I saw it coming. I knew when it was about to happen. I was right. Throughout this novel, predicting was not a hard analytical approach to take. I was able to predict many different events that would occur later in the book. The very first prediction that nearly everyone would be able to make is that Lea and Gabe will end up together in the end. This novel is definitely not a very thought-provoking and studious book, however, it is a very light and fluffy read when one doesn’t want to concentrate all that much.

There are various problems and difficult situations throughout the story, but it ends like a fairytale. :) Lea is the …show more content…
Gabe’s brother is always acting warily around him and is always careful about what he is doing when around Gabe: “He is like a deer: I don’t want to make any sudden movements and startle his thoughts away” (Hall 105). Along with that, Casey (Gabe’s friend) is also acting cautiously around Gabe, and he is always telling Gabe how he is there for him and wants to help him.

Gabe confuses a lot of what people are saying throughout the novel, and that leads one to think that something happened to his hearing during this traumatic event. All throughout the novel, people have to reiterate their words because Gabe doesn’t respond. Near the beginning of the novel, the characters seemed to think that Gabe was just ignoring them. However, when it kept happening people began to realize that maybe he has a hard trouble hearing and they do not take it as harsh anymore. For example, each time Gabe would order at Starbucks, the barista would have to ask him questions multiple times in order for him to

    In both “The Princess Paradox” by James Poniewozik and “Cinderella and Princess Culture” by Peggy Orenstein, the princess culture is agreed upon; however, the authors vary their opinions of how the fairytail dream of pink dresses and sparkly crowns came to be. Poniewozik opens up his article by addressing the “kick-ass culture,” while Orenstein focuses on how princesses have diminished the feeling of confidence and independence that young girls should experience. While some may believe that princesses show the younger generation that females possess the ability to accomplish anything a male can, others believe that this trend aggressively encourages the idea of “perfection” in our modern society. Both “The Princess Paradox” and “Cinderella and Princess Culture” discuss the rules and…

    Perrault version of Cinderella Vs the Grimm brothers’ version of Cinderella. “Fairy tale” is the term also used to describe something containing unusual happiness, like “fairy tale ending” a happing ending, or “fairy tale romance”, though not all fairy tales have a happy ending. According to Arthur Schlesinger, classical tales “tell children what they unconsciously know-that human nature is not innately good, that conflict is real, that life is harsh before it is, happy-and thereby reassure them about their own fears and their own sense of self” (229). Despite the fact that both Perrault and the Grimm brothers versions of Cinderella are fundamentally similar to each other, but the differences between them show two different moral universes.…
