Nala Robinson is a plus-sized black girl living in New york.

There are many ways to describe Naomi Erlanger. I say she is full of surprises since she seems to always notice her mistakes usually at the end. Naomi is a timid person since she doesn’t feel as comfortable in her own self. She is in love with Zach Powers though he is a bad influence, she still hangs out with him due to his look and popularity. Naomi doesn’t have self-confidence as she said in chapter 6 regarding about Zach Powers “ It was tough to compete with Lena, who was naturally pretty and had very strong personality.”
Becky Thatcher: The Heartbreaker Have you ever wished that you could go back to the past and undo a mistake you did? Becky Thatcher has, and she has done it more than once. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain, Becky makes mistakes and then regrets her actions that she wishes she could take back and never do.

In To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, it is very clear that the main character, Scout, sees no point of going to school and does not approve of her teacher, Miss Caroline. One quote that supports this opinion is, "If I didn't have to stay I'd leave. Jem that damn lady says Atticus' been teaching me and for him to stop it-"(Lee 23). This quote shows how Scout does not approve of her teacher and feels like she should not be going to school. I feel like, as the years go on, that Scout will start to enjoy school more and see the importance of it.
Throughout her career McCurdy dealt with two eating disorders, anorexia and bulimia. Her anorexia was encouraged by her mom, pressuring her into a calorie restrictive diet. While her bulimia was a result of the guilt she felt from eating and the want to fit the childlike and thin mold.) In a study about anorexia and bulimia, written by Ana Gotter she states “ Anorexia often stems from a distorted body image, which may result from emotional trauma, depression, or anxiety. Some people may view extreme dieting or weight loss as a way to regain control in their lives” (Gotter).
Oscar wild wrote this quote. This remark by Lady Bracknell is a pun or a play on words. The first part of her sentence is a normal comment on the death of one of Mr. Worthing 's parents but Lady Bracknell gives the word "lose" a different meaning in the second part. By making Lady Bracknell say this, Oscar Wilde presumably wished to show how snobbish the upper class could be. It is usual in England to say "I have lost my father, friend, or relative."
There are several things that could have attributed to Demi developing an eating disorder. The first element is that her mother also suffered from bulimia. As we read in this chapter, the relationships with your family can have an impact on developing disorders; Demi discussed how difficult it was to grow up in that environment. Another element that could have attributed to her eating disorder development is that she started to do beauty pageants where her body image was judged by other constantly. Demi would also compare herself to images of models in magazines.
in novel is smaller but she stands out even more clearly than Adam does. She deals in exaggeration and discusses everything calmly. For instance, she tells Arthur about farming that farming is “putting money into your pocket wi’ your right hand and fetching it out wi’ your left,” and adding to this when she tell Thias bede’s death to Hetty, she says that “but Adam Bede and all his kin might be drowned for what you’d care”. There are also such characters which are highly agitated by women. If we look at the character of Bartle Massey, Eliot introduced him to us a comic character.
