In this thesis, I explain the theory in detail, apply it to the text, and discuss what can be gained by applying such a theory to young adult literature. Young adult literature (YAL) works with the concept of identity, and applying a Social Psychological theory of identity to YAL can provide a new vantage point from which to examine the concept of identity as portrayed in YAL. Through my application of Identity Theory to the texts, I demonstrate how we can apply this theory to young adult novels, focusing on three specific identities of the main character, Cinder. Following this analysis, I discuss potential pedagogical implications of this type of textual analysis in addition to implications for the field of YAL itself.

    Copyright By Jennifer Leann Weir 2020 Abstract This thesis reviews four young adult/new adult retellings to understand how these novels shape understanding of and empathy for real world social issues. The first chapter explores the novel Girls Made of Snow and Glass and how the reshaping of the “Snow White” narrative, within the text, undermines the patriarchal narrative that pits woman against woman and, instead, tells a story of female solidarity. Chapter two considers A Court of Thornes and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury and how the fallout of “The Beauty and the Beast” narrative in book one carries into book two as a means to build empathy and understanding for those suffering with mental health issues, including those suffering with PTSD. Finally, Chapter three reviews The Lunar Chronicles and how the pandemic within these science fiction retellings foster discussion around medical injustices and the dehumanization that allows such injustice to occur.

  • The THIRD Book in the Chaos Walking SERIES
    Candlewick Press Discussion Guide The THIRD book in The Chaos Walking SERIES What a sad thing men are. Can’t do nothing good without being so weak we mess it up. Can’t build some- thing without tearing it down. ABOUT THE BOOK In Monsters of Men, the final installment of the Chaos Walking trilogy, a horrific war surges around Todd and Viola, and it forces them to face monstrous decisions. The indigenous Spackle, thinking and acting as one, have mobilized to avenge their murdered people. The ruthless human leaders of the Ask and of the Answer prepare to defend their factions at all costs as a convoy of new settlers approaches. As is often true in war, the projected will of the few threatens to overwhelm the desperate desire of the many. The consequences of each action are unspeakably vast: To follow a tyrant or a terrorist? To save the life of the one you love most, or thousands of strangers? To believe in redemption, or assume it is lost? Becoming adults amid the turmoil, Todd and Viola question all they have known, racing through horror and outrage toward a shocking finale. As Robert Dunbar writes in The Irish Times, Monsters of Men “triumphantly concludes what will almost certainly come to be seen as one of the outstanding literary achievements of the present century.” HC: 978-0-7636-4751-3 • PB: 978-0-7636-5665-2 E-book: 978-0-7636-5211-1 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Publishers Weekly called Monsters of Men “one of the the final installment in the Chaos Walking trilogy, most important works of young adult science fiction look for evidence that the book is deserving of these in recent years.” Michael Cart, an editorialist for accolades.

    WIRES AND NERVE: VOLUME 1 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Marissa Meyer,Douglas Holgate | 208 pages | 31 Jan 2017 | FEIWEL & FRIENDS | 9781250078261 | English | United States Wires and Nerve: Volume 1 PDF Book Your purchase helps us remain independent and ad-free. I kind of disliked it and found it to be a disappointment, but disappointed is my go to emotion now, baby! Update location. I have basically said this already but, are you a Lunar Chronicles fan? It was so much fun and so easy to read. Parents need to know that Wires and Nerve is the first of two graphic novels planned in Marissa Meyer 's best-selling Lunar Chronicles series. I was fond of Iko since Cinder, her character still has many stories waiting to be told and I can see those potentials the author would pick up and use for the next book or series. With appearances by Cinder and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the series. There were plenty of scenes that made me swoon and made me say "aww" out loud. Skip to Content. Some kissing. Average rating 4. As a droid she's supposed to be obedient and docile. I would recommend to Lunar Chronicles fans and fans of sci-fi graphic novels. Her behaviour and feelings are constantly being questioned - her fiery temper considered a "malfunction" and her emotions considered "artificial". With appearances by Cinder, Cress, Scarlet, Winter, and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the bestselling series.

    THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO The Novel Behind the Chaos Walking Movie BY PATRICK NESS READERS’ GUIDE 1. How does Todd’s voice, including his grammar and spelling, reflect his environment and upbringing? 2. Reading and writing aren’t allowed in Prentisstown. How is Todd’s journey affected by his lack of education? 3. How does the denial of education allow totalitarian governments, like that in Prentisstown, to control their citizens? 4. Why do you think Noise is indicated with a different font? 5. Dystopian novels—ones that describe a future that is dark and often fearful—give the author a chance to comment on present-day society. How does Noise translate into our current lives? Where do you see Noise in the present day? What positive and negative impact does Noise have on our lives? 6. How do Todd’s actions against the Spackle change him? How do they change Viola’s feelings about him? Do they change your feelings about Todd? 7. Think about Patrick Ness’s use of gender roles in the novel. How are they similar to and different from contemporary gender roles? How does Viola change Todd’s views of women and their roles in his society? 8. Hope is an important topic in the last hundred pages of the book. Todd and Viola’s hope rests in Haven. Do they find what they had hoped to at the end of the road? 9. The men in the novel can hear one another’s thoughts via Noise, but do they really know one another? Even though Todd can’t hear Viola’s Noise, he discovers that he can read her thoughts and feelings anyhow.
