Truman Essay - I Am Princess X The book I read this quarter was I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest. This book is about two friends named Libby and May who were separated by a tragic event, but work hard solving clues and hidden messages to get back together. They get help from some friends, named Trick and Jackdaw, who go along with them. Their friendship and bravery is tested when they are faced with scary dangers and strange events. There are many characters in this book who all have very important roles, but three stand out to me, May, Libby, and Trick. Libby is an artistic girl who loves to draw and design the character, Princess X, but she supposedly died in a car crash. May, her best friend, believes that she is still alive and didn’t die, but no one believes her since there is no proof. Trick is a friend of May’s who helps her prove that Libby …show more content…

One conflict is when the “Needle Man” kills Libby’s mother to kidnap her to save his dying daughter. This leads to the conflict of Libby and May returning to the Needle Man’s house to try to find out who he truly is. Of course, they get caught and have to run and hide from this crazy character. I think the climax of this story is when they are at the Needle Man’s house and they have to find a way to escape. He finds them which leads to a frantic time where they split up and run. Even though this is near the end of the book, it is the only time they all face the “bad guy” of the story. It then settles down when the police arrive and put the Needle Man in jail for his crimes. I think that the moral of the story is to always believe in friends and trust them. May trusted Libby to guide her along the way and to be there at the end and Libby trusted May to find her a keep the secret that she was still alive. They both trusted each other and found each other in the

It is evident that in the story that no main character has a legitimate and clear view of life. She offers examples about each of the four main characters and how their views on life, affected their overall fate. For example, she discussed how Pete did not take his affair with Maggie seriously, and how he ultimately hoped to have a relationship with Nell, but Nell does not see him in a positive way and thinks he is a fool. Pete was not viewing this part of his life clearly because he wants a relationship with a woman who does not want him while all the long he is involved with a woman who does. Maggie is another example.

Main Idea: I resolutely believe that the message that the author of “Sleeping Ugly” was trying to convey was, real beauty comes from the inside. This is evident in several instances that took place. Right from the beginning, it is stated “Princess Miserella was a beautiful princess if you counted her eyes… but inside… she was the meanest”. This definitely means that, although Miserella looked good to the eyes, her personality was absolutely terrible.

The book “Princess” written by Jean Sasson tells the life of ‘Sultana’, (The name of the princess, Sultana is a substitute for her real name due to the dangers she could later face if traced) a Saudi princess bounded by a strict society that she says define women nothing more than a tool to fulfill their sexual desires and bearer of their children. “From an early age, the male child is taught that women are of little value: They exist only for his comfort and convenience” (chapter introduction, princess). This book depicts how even the royal woman are beaten, executed and enslaved by their fathers, sons and husbands. It paints a shady image of the Saudi society in our minds showing the different shadows of grays in a colorful pallet. For example the book tells about a Fillipino woman who had shifted to Saudi Arabia to work as a servant in one of the ‘reputed rich families’, later realizing that her duties also consisted of pleasing the employer and his two sons sexually.
