OSR1 - Devil Wears Prada
the characters in my book:
- Andrea..main character..she takes job at fashion magazine because she is told that it is the key to her future.. she loathes fashion at first and then gradually comes to like it.. but never love it. She eventually leaves her job because it costs Andrea her personal life outside of fashion..DUMBEST MOST ANNOYING ENDING EVER. she totally should have kept her job because seriously its true a million girls would die for that job including me, she was making friends in the industry, SHE GOT TO WEAR COUTURE. i mean, really, what more could u ask for.. its like an amazing future was handed to her on a silver platter( no bread, of course) and she just turned up her nose at it. like what the heck is that? anywayyyyy i like her towards the very end before she gives up her job and after she gains a bit of intelligence in the world of fashion... which she never does compleltly tho.
- Miranda priestly on the other hand..amazing! she is Anna Wintour under under the pseudonym Miranda Priestly because the author can't just use her name. but ya, she is and amazing woman and everybody in the book complains about her allllll the time except for Emily,the senior assistant because who only has the occassional sigh about her which is understandable. But you know what? Miranda Preistly has a right to be selfish, wasteful, excessive, and firm because she IS the woman behind the industry and intelligent people bend to her will because they know her genius... for instance, ( REAL LIFE example) , just awhile ago rachele zoe insulted Anna Wintour saying that she was more influential to the industry than Anna Wintour. Rachel Zoe was Immeadiatly dropped from her agency. Now im not sure if u kno who rachel zoe is, so i'll tell you. She is a celebrity stylist. She is an enormously powerful woman who dresses many, many of the most well dressed celebrities including Kiera Knightly, Mishka Barton,Cameron Diaz, Paris HIlton, Kate Beckinsale , Nicole Ritchie (no longer) Lindsay Lohan and many many more. The fact that Rachel Zoe could be dropped from her agency just like that for saying something degrading about Anna Wintour really says something about Anna Wintour, and therefore, the character Miranda Preistly as well. I like Miranda Preistly's character a lot, and admired Emily (senior assisant) for her devotin to her job. Without Miranda Preistly, the Devil Wears Prada would just be another boring book giving readers a false perception of 'life from the inside'.

What types of things does Richard "hunger" for
and what are the effects (positive and negative) of hunger?
Richard hungers for actual food, but he also hungers for security. Like you know how he used to hide food when he first moved to granny's wayyy back, because he was secretly scared that in the morning there would be no food left? Or how Richard gets a job to make sure he can afford to hang out with friends and do the activities that they do -which also include buying snacks at the store.
Richard hungers for power and control over his own life. Richard often rebels against those in authority. he wants to control his own life and he is sure that he knows best. Richard learns the art of rebellion and that it is the key to his freedom.
I think Richard hungers for knowledge, because i think subconciously, he knows that his life will be the same as those before and after him, indistinguishable from the thousands of other blacks living in his town/state and era unless he sets himself apart. I don't think that richard is completely aware of his hunger for knowlege though. If you asked him what he wants the most, i have a feeling that he wouldn't say knowledge.
thoughts??
