August 2006 ELA Critical Lens & Level 6A essay: “To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.”
—Bernadette Devlin
The Price of My Soul, 1969
Two Works of Literature/Authors:
-Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
-A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else." is a quote by Brenadette Delvin which means that in order to gain certain things in life, sometimes sacrifices will have to be made. I agree with this quote because I personaly had to make sacrifices in order to gain other things that were for my own benefit A similar scenario is placed with Harriet Jacobs in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl when she had to sacrifice her family life to gain freedom. Lorraine Hansberry potrayed a similar situation in A Raisin in the Sun when the Younger family had to sacrifice their comfort to gain a better life despite the fact that this family would have to recieve racial comments in their new negihborhood.
August 2005 ELA Critical Lens & Level 6A essay: “I like flawed characters because somewhere in them I seemore of the truth.”
— Nicolas Cage, as quoted in“His Truth is Out There”from Los Angeles Times,November 12, 2000
Two works of Literature/Authors:
-Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
-To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
“I like flawed characters because somewhere in them I seemore of the truth.” by Nicolas Cage means to me that some chararcters, the least expected, can demonstrate a character full of truth and justice. I agree with this qoute because looks can decieve, in other words, the characters you least expected can surprise you and sometimes with the most important turning point in a book. Ray Bradbury characterised a personality like the one that Nicolas Cage described with Guy Montag in Farenheit 451 because he found a different person inside of him. And Happre Lee did as well with To Kill a Mockingbird when Tom knew that the truth was all he spoke when he was accused of something he didn't do.

I like the way you compared the books to the quote in a simple way.
i like your introduction over all. you did make some mistake in spelling like with characterized and you shouldn't begin a sentence with and.
You might not need to use the words "means to me" for your second quote. I highly recommend looking over your work and keeping an eye out for spelling errors.
haha you spelled "personally" and "Harper Lee" wrong. you should underline books in the paragraph too. other than that, everything is great. you perfected all the requirements for an introductory paragraph.
Nice blog! I really liked how you interpreted the quotes. But on the other hand very nice blog.
PS. I agree with the others, revise youre work.
You should revise your work and I like your interpretation to the quotes.
Nice way to introduce the two literary works you choose. And you also relate yourself with the book that is great. Well done….
