Throughout the novella, Zeena is depicted as a woman consumed by her own ailments and grievances, which she uses as a shield against the outside world.

In the novel, the main character Truly gets put into a situation just like every other 8th grade teenage girl may deal with. She gets invited to the popular table. She was already friends with one of the girls, Natasha. However, once Natasha dumped Truly, the only one that was there for her was Hazel. Hazel gets a little odd when it comes to popularity, so when Natasha asked Truly to sit with them, Hazel got very defensive. Truly had to make a decision between the populars and the “losers” who turn out to be her ex-best friends. However, does Truly know what it takes to be one of the populars? Are they really trying to be her friend, or is Natasha just messing with Truly to humiliate her? Truly starts to find out the real story on why she was invited with the populars, and she quickly realizes she doesn’t need to pretend to be someone she is not.866 Words4 PagesLena Haloway Quotes“Hatred is a high tower,” (Oliver 166). This quote from Pandemonium describes how this novel is relatable. Everyone feels some type of hatred towards something in their lives. This book being relatable helps people today; they may not be going through the exact same thing as Lena Haloway, mainly because this was a futuristic book, and there is no such thing as the “Wilds”(Oliver 9) or a “resistance” (Oliver 196), but they can see how she handled the hate. Thus, this book is relatable to many young girls because it is an adolescent book.517 Words3 PagesMelinda Neglection QuotesNo one became friends with Melinda even though she had Heather by her side Melinda was still lonely, that’s what many don’t realize you could have 1-10 friends but no one truly knows someone mentally, they could portray a happy person when they can be living the worst at home.

Zoe’s brother, Jason, perfectly summarized the two when he described Zoe as “serious and pessimistic” and Danielle as one who “sees the glass half full.” Their appearances also balance each other out, as Jason pictured Danielle as “vivacious, with bright red curls,” whereas Zoe is “dark, but with eyes as bright as the ocean.” When Jason described the two girls, he illustrated that even though both their looks and personalities are completely opposite, these yin and yang qualities are what bonded them together and created their mile-deep friendship. In addition, those different attributes and how they are foils394 Words2 PagesBrownies, by ZZ Packer EssayAlthough her shared race inherently secures her place in the group, she actively seeks further acceptance and affirmation from the other girls. Her longing for community results in her continued involvement with the group, as being outside the group implies an undesired sense of isolation. Laurel continuously strives to be a part of the community, even though she does not like its members and compares their caliber of friendship to being “bunched-up wads of tinfoil…or rusty iron nails you had to get tetanus for” instead of precious metals (190). The need to identify as part of the group causes her to passively dismiss not only the blatant rudeness towards her and other members but also their obvious character flaws. Yet it is in this respect that her less aggressive and kind temperament distinguishes her from the rest of the group, indirectly disrupting its cohesion. Although she realizes that “quiet people like [herself] were better off quiet alone,” the fear of being excluded will lead her to comply with group actions and thoughts that would likely not occur if she were acting as an individual (187).1209 Words5 PagesMiranda When You Reach Me QuotesMiranda feels like she is different then most latchkey children because when she goes home she doesn’t just turn on the TV when she gets home.

And school starts tomorrow. But she once had friends and was very popular. But all of that has changed. Melinda’s life is about to get hard and this is when two things really help shape melinda’s identity224 Words1 PagesLoneliness & Isolation in 'of Mice and Men'By having no name, she seems to be even more friendless, and I think this is interesting because to get to know someone and try to make friends with them, a name is a good place to start. She regularly enters the bunkhouse, apparently looking for Curley, but as the novel progresses, we become aware that she is actually pretending to look for Curley just so she can talk to someone - “I get awful lonely,” conveys this realization. The men at the ranch become aware of her loneliness when she reveals to them that she is alone - “Think I don’t like to talk to someone ever’ once in a while? Think I like to stick in that house alla time?” Curley’s wife’s loneliness leads her to talk to Lennie and let him feel her hair. Unfortunately for both characters, Lennie does not realise his own strength and accidentally breaks her neck in anxiety and panic. In this case, I found the idea of loneliness interesting because it made me think about loneliness and how it can have a negative effect on people. Humans need friendship to stay connected and part of society and I found this interesting because I feel that I am surrounded by good spirited spirited people who do have friends and this really contrasts with the situations in the novel.862 Words4 PagesComing of Age in a Tree Grows in BrooklynOne of the challenges of growing up is loneliness.
