Peer Pressure of the So-called Friends

As I climb deeply into the ending of my book, i began to realize a turn in the personality of the main character in the book. I notice that she is maturing towards the end of the book and the character has to fight to stay in the line of her morals and values. Im looking forward to see how my character continues to change and I am thinking about making my paper something about realizations and how going against peer pressures of the people around her. One of my favorite passages in this chapter was when the main character had th chance to do something wrong and cheat on her boyfriend. Although she may want to, she fights temptation and decides to stay true.

Education is the Key

In my reading this week i read about how Sister Souljah wasnt able to get serious with a biy because she thought that she was over their head and how she thought about lowering her standards. On page 118 she talks about how she alomost got caught in the cheating lifestyle that her roommate was living and how she was dragged into that kind of lifestlye. She then comes to a realization that she should wait for the right boy and that lowering her standards is not the right choice to make. She believes that she should stay focused in school and the right boy will come her way. Im thinking about the possible paper about the importance of educatoin and how a lot of kids are dropping out of school today.
