To begin with Amy Fusselman likes to reference to her father a lot throughout the book. It can be seen that even though a close relationship may not be seen, it can be inferred through the use of her many quotes.

What is real cannot be fake, right? Well, how can a community made of real people become labeled as being "counterfeit?" John McKnight (1996), author of "The Careless Society: Community and Its Counterfeits", explained his thoughts of how a community becomes careless to what is going on right next door and around them.

Reading Shakespeare’s work makes one wonder, is this really what life is like? His writings show a common human experience and for this reason are considered timeless.

We get to see two varying prose styles when we read the works of Harriet Jacobs in Diary of a Slave Girl and Stephen Crane in The Red Badge of Courage. While one embraces the idea of realism, the other one takes a completely different route and embraces naturalism in their work.
