Literature Analysis #2

1. In the book The Second Sister by Dani Sinclair, the young teenage character Leigh is trying to fit in to the popular crowd since her and her twin sister Haley are different, Leigh is the nerdy one and Hayley the popular one. Leigh goes to a party and makes terrible mistakes by trying to be like everyone else, she abandons the party and meets the guy she only dreams of in her fantasy’s (Gavin). He was everything she fantasized about the older biker bad boy. Gavin and Leigh have a night they’ll never forget because they do some wild things. Seven years later Leigh returns home only to find out he’s the county attorney and they both remember that night they met and the things they did, Gavin still finds her amazing and Leigh can’t resist they fall in love and marry.

2. The theme is to think before you regret and it’s also Passion and Desire, don’t make a mistake you can’t forget.

3. I chose this book because honestly it looked easy; the cover didn’t really interest me at all I just got it. What made me keep reading is that I was too lazy to choose a different book; I know I should have just chosen a different book but I kept it and kept reading it.

4. I kind of found it realistic I mean this can really happen to anyone. We all make mistakes and have fantasies of things and just wait for them to come true. Hers was a coincidence and she fell in love with him as did he.

5. The author’s tone would have to be calm she gives a lot of detail when talking about the characters.

CHARECTORIZATION

1. Direct: “Leigh Thomas gulped the soda her date handed her,” “Leigh couldn’t breathe.” The author use’s these so we can know what is happening and what she’s doing.

Indirect: “she might look like a part of this crowd tonight, but despite the fact that she had raided her identical twin sister’s closet.”

2. It does not really change, the author Dani talks about the character the same.

3. Dynamic, Leigh changed, she got older and realized her mistake and as a woman she changed in mind.

ENDURING MEMORY

One thing I would remember from reading this book is that everyone makes mistakes and we shouldn’t judge others were not perfect either. Also, that everyone has their own opinions and no matter what people say or think that shouldn’t change who we are inside or out.
