Lady Of Shalott Essay

515 Words3 Pages

This book is mainly for ages 12-19, this book is mainly for this age group because any younger and they would not understand, and any older it may not keep them entertained. This book is about King Arthur and the round table, and the tales of how he was betrayed by his love and his best friend. In this story its about King Arthur being reincarcerated. The boy that is supposed to be the incarceration of him is A. William or Will Wagner, he is the quarterback of the football team, and a general nice person that does not like bullying, and is like a hero to many. Then a new girl comes named Elaine “Ellie” Harrison, named after “The Lady of Shalott”. She is made a quick friend of Wills and helps him in conquer the “Evilness” against his step-brother. Ellie and Will end up having some sort of relationship at the end of the book, not a big shocker. …show more content…

I am not a big fan of history and she made me want to know more about it in this book. She made it educational, while also making it very adventurous and romantic. I would still like to know though how the teacher knew that Ellie would help save Will. He barely knew her, but some how he knew that she would help him, and that confused me. Other then that i think she did a pretty good job with keeping you interested in the book. If i were able to rewrite this book i would mainly keep it the same, but would make a few changes like making the scenes between the teacher and Ellie shorter, because sometimes they just dragged on and on. People could really relate to this book in a way, because many people have had those struggles like if a friend you trusted that betrayed you. Also a boyfriend/girlfriend that cheated on you, or maybe just that moment where you are getting bullied, or someone else is and you stick up for them, or someone sticks up for

There was so much content and information that I had never even heard of until reading this book. It makes me think just how much other history has been stolen and not told rightly. All this time, I just assumed the rightful story was the one portrayed in the Disney movie. That sounds funny to type out, and quite ignorant. Finding out that she never married John Smith was eye opening for me.

It showed that the pressure of always being perfect and beautiful was hard on her. I also liked that most students can relate to being pressured to be something they’re not. I disliked that I felt the length of the book on multiple occasions. I identified with Paige because I have also been pressured to be someone I don’t want to be. In the story, Paige is pressured to be perfect and make no mistakes and this often happens in real life.

The fact that she can walk away from all those terrible experiences with love for her parents is incredible. Another thing I loved about this book is how it represents her parents, with all their faults, and their poor mentality, at its worst, without anger, or really any judgment, just with the love. If she had been bitter in her description it would not have been as amazing. This memoir was written with forgiveness making me respect her for not only surviving such a strange childhood to become a successful, but for being able to view her past with

It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

In the poem “The Lady of Shalott,” Alfred Lord Tennyson emphasizes the notion of the female gaze as being dangerous by using isolation as a compelling metaphor for the societal, sexual, and intellectual repression of women, specifically in the circumstance of the Lady of Shalott. In lines 17-18, the essence of confinement is elucidated as the passage states, “And the silent isle imbowers the Lady of Shalott.” To “imbower” is often associated with keeping someone safe from the outside world, but frankly, the term is used in a reverse manner by suggesting the protection is for the world rather than for the Lady (line 17). By coupling “four gray walls, and four gray towers,” Tennyson asserts the extent of the Lady of Shalott’s simplistic, dismal
