Quiet Power a book written by Susan Cain gives the idea to introverts that they have mighty strengths. This book also talks about how hard it is to be an introvert but then shows the positive sides or the benefits of being an introvert.

Firstly, I believe the theme of the book is Introverts can make differences their way.

According to the book, introverts’ mindsets are different from extroverts, meaning that those people consider things differently, or from a different angle. People might believe introverts are people who would not be able to accomplish great things because of their fear to communicate and their different mindsets, but this is not true.  Introverts are not Anti-social, they just believe in another way of socializing. This trait has a lot of advantages, and with this, they can create beautiful works. One example from the book is introverts have the ability to focus deeply on topics and activities and listen to others with empathy and patience.

Secondly, this book teaches what it means to ” Be yourself”.

Nowadays, Extroverts take up most of the world becoming the spotlight, or the center, because of their way of communication, and the world doesn’t focus on introverts as much. In the book, the author talks about how introverts can be proud and be themself. Introverts are as powerful as Extroverts, the only difference is how extroverts are fully willing to share thoughts, but that does not differ as much as introverts because introverts have their unique way of speaking and communicating their thoughts. For example, the book states that many introverts have the ability in becoming powerful writers, thus, this shows introverts would like to share their thoughts in another way instead of sharing them as extroverts.

Finally, this book teaches me about what it means to become an introvert, and I realized I could learn a lot of things from this book.  This book taught me how to overcome challenges, and how to become braver, and I believe parts of this book apply to both introverts and extroverts. Before reading this book, I did not think introverts can accomplish so much, but this book shows me the accomplishments, and even how to achievef that. In conclusion, I believe Susan Cain illustrated a perfect book about introverts and how introverts, can have their, quiet power.

I think I should be a humanist because I agree with most of their beliefs and thoughts.

This book is called Fan Club,  written by the Canada writer Rona Maynard.  She is also an editor of Chatelaine and she has attracted   numerous readers’ attention to Canada’s No.1  magazine for women.

This passage basically talks about there is a bias toward this girl named Rachel and how she is getting bullied.  I can relate to this story because I’ve seen people perform in this way before as a kid and even it was really sad in the end. The ending makes me feel weird because I suppose a happy ending in the conclusion.  This author set an uncomfortable sense such continuous questions such as in paragraph 2:  Why were they so cold and unkind? Was it because her long stringy hair hung in her eyes instead of dipping in graceful curls? Was it because she wrote poetry in algebra class and got A’s in Latin without really trying?

The author uses the device of satire in the title The Fan Club. It is a strong sense of irony by the word of “fan”. After reading, I cannot find any funny details in the story, on the contrary, it fills with sorrow. For example, Rona Maynard uses ” damp and cold” in the setting which gives the base of the whole story. In addition, during the dialogue, they give the humiliated sentences directly such as  “Or in a trash dump”,  which is setting the conflicts in the story.

This is a typical passage about the topic of school bully. Rona Maynard uses real setting and vivid dialogue happened in the classroom, which adds the interaction with readers. It seems a picture just occures in many campuses.  I firmly convict the success of the passage lies in the resonance  among people.

The author has a website and also the passage, Website for author  Then, the Commonlit link,  which is this. Commonlit     I used the words like unwanted and unaccepted because the girl called Rachel was unaccepted and unwanted. I used she’s a creep because it was one of the quotes the girls saying to Rachel.  I used cold and damp because this is the mood the passage gives me, this cold heartless feeling.

Next: Keep working on effective use of hyperlinks:) Also, try to explain why you feel uncomfortable, how does the author use the ending to reflect on the internal conflict of the character. For “quotes” (cite line#) and explain further.
