Muito se é dito sobre as relações que criamos, mantemos e perdemos ao longo da vida. Especialmente na fase da adolescência, entender como elas podem impactar nossa vida nos prepara para lidar melhor, talvez, com a diversidade de pessoas e relacionamentos que cruzam nosso caminho. E esse aprendizado vem de muitos espaços de conversa, experimentação, e até algumas frustrações, mas também das histórias imaginadas das leituras. É a partir desse princípio que a investigação do 9º ano (MYB Year 4) se dá. Enquanto os alunos e alunas já reconhecem que a importância de construirmos relações e relacionamentos positivos e generosos, aqui eles buscam na literatura entender alguns porquês que embasam essa relevância. Nessa edição, veremos suas análises literárias, nas quais eles observaram ainda como os variados autores usam de elementos da narrativa para nos levarem à certas epifanias, confirmações e questionamentos sobre relacionamentos, dos filiais e fraternais aos profissionais e sociais. From the Editor Isadora Mozer Editor-in-Chief 04entrelinhas Nas escolhas literárias, os alunos e alunas passaram por romances, mistérios, clássicos e ficções históricas ou contemporâneas. Independente do gênero posto, todos puderam traçar conexões acerca da influência dos contextos, das perspectivas e das identidades sobre as relações desenvolvidas nas histórias. Com isso em vista, segue o convite para adentrar às reflexões dos nossos alunos e alunas do 9º ano (MYB Year 4) .

A Relationship Tested by Truth 06 BY ALEXANDRE SERAFIMentrelinhas Relationships are the basis of friendship and family and they help people grow, learn and support each other through difficulties. However, strong relationships are not free from challenges, and moments of uncertainty can change how people see each other. In There Will Be Bears, by Ryan Gebhart, Tyson and Gene share a close bond as grandson and grandfather that is tested as the story unfolds, forcing Tyson to rethink what family and trust mean to him. Through characterization and dialogue, the author reveals that Tyson's discovery about Gene's identity strengthens their relationship instead of destroying it. This encourages readers to understand that difficult moments can challenge relationships, but strong bonds can become even stronger through them. One way the author develops Tyson and Gene's relationship is through characterization. At the beginning of the novel, Tyson loves spending time with Gene and has a close relationship with him.

07 However, when Tyson discovers the truth, he becomes confused and struggles to understand what it means for their relationship. Tyson thinks, “Not my real grandfather? What does that even mean?” This thought reveals Tyson's confusion and how difficult the discovery is for him because Gene has always been an important part of his life. Through Tyson's thoughts, the author emphasizes that the truth challenges their relationship, but it does not erase the connection they have built. This helps readers understand how important Gene is to Tyson and how unexpected truths can affect a close relationship. The author also uses dialogue to show how Tyson and Gene's relationship changes throughout the story. Their conversations reveal their personalities, feelings, and the trust they have for each other. After Tyson learns the truth, he becomes so upset that he starts calling his grandfather Gene by his first name. This change is emphasized by the chapter title, ‘I Call Gramps by His First Name,’ which highlights how strongly the discovery affects Tyson's relationship with Gene. “So you're calling me Gene now?” This dialogue reveals how Tyson and Gene communicate after the discovery and shows whether their relationship becomes more distant or closer. By talking and spending time together, Tyson and Gene are able to understand each other better. The dialogue emphasizes that even when a relationship faces difficult moments, communication can help people become closer. In There Will Be Bears, Tyson and Gene's relationship changes as they face challenges and learn more about each other. Through characterization and dialogue, the author shows how Tyson's feelings develop after discovering the truth about Gene. Instead of allowing this discovery to completely separate them, Tyson learns to understand and appreciate Gene even more.Their relationship demonstrates that trust, love, and shared experiences can make a bond stronger, even when it is tested by difficult truths.

Good relationships make you feel good, important and safe. People usually expect that siblings need to be close, and have a good relationship, but forget that having a discussion, bad communication, are in the way to have it. In Ordinary Girls, Blair Thornburgh explores how two sisters, Marnie and Ginny, struggle to understand each other. Thornburgh shows that Marnie and Ginny have a difficult relationship because of past anger, personal space issues, poor communication, and envy. Through dialogue and Marnie’s point of view, we understand that we need to be honest with each other to build real trust. Through the book, the author uses Marnie's thoughts and dialogue to show how old anger and taking each other’s stuff make things hard between the sisters. In the beginning, Marnie shows how mad she is, remembering her childhood problems with Ginny and saying, “I first realized how I wanted to murder my sister" (1). This shows that they had problems a long time ago, and that Marnie has been holding this anger for years. When Distance Becomes Honesty and Trust 08 BY AMANDA SARTÓRIOentrelinhas

09 Small daily fights about personal space also happen a lot, and make things worse, like when Ginny takes Marnie’s clothes without asking for it. Marnie feels anger and says, “You can’t just take my stuff”. (7). Instead of talking about their problems, the sisters just get angrier at each other. The discussions make them feel more lonely, without support when necessary, and it makes the atmosphere at home feel more oppressive, full of tension. This shows that not respecting each other’s space makes their fights much worse. Also, keeping secrets and not talking directly creates big problems between the sisters. For example when the family is facing financial problems, but their parents don't want to tell Ginny. During a conversation the mother tells Marnie, "Don't tell Ginny”(91). The author uses this quote to show how hiding things hurts the family. Because the parents hide their financial problems, Marnie has to deal with this stress alone instead of supporting each other. This proves that when people keep secrets, they stop trusting each other, and create an unhealthy environment at home. In conclusion, Thornburgh shows in Ordinary Girls that sister relationships can be hard when they are keeping secrets, or having a discussion with basic things of daily life. By showing a lot of dialogue and Marnie’s point of view that secrets only drive people who love each other apart. In daily life, the story teaches us that to have a good relationship, we need to be honest, and express our feelings, and thoughts, which is much better than hiding problems and stepping away.

Title Title Title 10 BY ANA CLARA CRESPO Relationships, art and music often help young people navigate the challenging process of growing up and fiding their own voices. In the book Swing by Kwame Alexander, the author explores the power of frindship and self-expression though the lives of two high school best friends, Noah and Walt. As Noah struggles to share his true romantic feelings for his best friend Sam. Through Noah's journey of writing anonymous love and creating art, Alexander demonstrates that taking risks in love and life is essential to truly discovering who you are. Noah's journey with artistic expression demonstrates how taking creative risks allows individuals to communicate feelings they cannot say out loud. In the book, Noah expressis his hidden feelings for Sam by leaving anonymous artistic love letters and artwork around town. Early in the story, he reflects on his hesitation, stating that he feels safer expressing his heart through art than facing potential rejection in real life. By using third-person poetic narrative and artistic metaphors, Alexander allows readers to enter Noah's inner thoughts. This literary choice highlights the vulnerability required to share one's true self. Instead of portraying Noag as simply shy, the author uses art as a bridge to show that creative outlets give young people the courage to process complex emotions when words fail them. Through Noah's artistic process, the author reveals that self-expression is a necessary first step towards building honest and authentic relationships.entrelinhas

11 Furthermore, the dynamic friendship between Noah and Walt shows that stepping out of one's comfort zone is essential for personal growth and deeper connections. Throughout the story, Walt constantly encourages Noah to "swing for the fences,"both in baseball and in his personal life, while Walt himself pursues his love for Jazz music despite facing slepticism from others. The author uses Walt's optimistic characterization and baseball metaphors to contrast Noah's cautious nature. This contrast emphasizes the central theme that fear or failure often holds peopole back from experiencing true connection and joy. By showing how the two best friends support each others' passions, the narrativ eillustrates that meaningful relationships require mutual encouragement, trust, and the courage to take emotional risks. Ultimately, Noah and Walt's friendship demonstrate that confronting fear together helps individuals discover their true potential and strangthen their bonds with others. Throughout Swing, Kwame Alexander shows that taking emotional risks is essential for growing up. By highlighting Noah's art and Walt's passion for music, the author reveals how courage and friendship helps people overcome fear. Beyond the story, this reminds readers that life requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Finding out who you are always begins with the bravery to be yourself.

Relationship Development in Traumatic Situations 16 BY BEATRICE FERREIRA Life is all about relationships people have with others, good and bad, they all serve their purposes, but how intensely could one be impacted as a result of a traumatic event? In the book, One of Us is Lying, Karen M. McManus starts the story by introducing Bronwyn through her point of view and the first interaction between her and Simon, who is later pronounced dead after a strange occurrence in the detention classroom. The whole story revolves around the four main characters, Bronwyn, Nate, Addy and Cooper, their relationships and the crime investigation involving all of them as primary suspects for the mysterious murder. Through perspective changes and dialogue, McManus explores the characters’ complex and conflicted relationships and how their interactions can reveal personalities or attitudes related to the main plotline.entrelinhas

17 Several complex relationships are developed as the story gradually unfolds around the killing. To represent them, each chapter of the book shifts between two of the four main characters’ perspectives which allows the author to explore their individual relationships and personal lives outside of the school setting. The changes in the point of view enable the reader to comprehend a certain narrative through different angles. For example, throughout the middle of chapter 6 until the end of chapter 8, the day of Simon's funeral ceremony and an investigative interrogation, the author includes the perspectives of the main four at the funeral followed by them being taken individually to a police station to be interrogated. One relationship with observable change after the interrogation is between Bronwyn and Nate, two moral opposites who end up becoming closer to each other due to the circumstances of “the whole Simon thing.” They end up having a heart to heart conversation over the phone, which is described from Nate's perspective, including his thoughts. This demonstrates that what a character feels in a relationship can be revealed through their point of view, even if they are not physically or verbally expressed. The author, McManus, uses dialogue as a literary choice to provide insight into the personalities the characters display when interacting with loved ones and the contrast with how they act with people they are not close with. The main cast interacts with many people throughout the whole story and every chapter of the book includes at least one spoken interaction written through their perspective. For example, some of the first chapters that included Addy's perspectives would highlight conversations between her and Ashton, her older sister, and Jake, her boyfriend who she would later end up breaking up with. The dialogue scenes between Addy and her sister reveal her complicated home life which led them to become almost estranged while also maintaining a playfully teasing yet caring relationship. The dialogue between them suggests that they have a mostly neutral sibling relationship with each other. On the other hand, the scenes where she is with Jake demonstrate a controlling and passively abusive relationship in which Addy feels insecure and emotionally manipulated by him. The sections that show their verbal interactions emphasize the unhealthy dynamics between them and how Addy can't show her true feelings to him. The author connects these interactions to the idea of characters adapting their attitudes around people depending on the type of relationship and emotional proximity. Throughout the book One of Us is Lying, Karen M. McManus uses the literary choices, perspective and dialogue, to illustrate the main characters’ identities through interactions with complex and conflicted relationships during a collectively distressing event. In some sections of the book, readers are able to witness how each character interacts with authority figures and how their preexisting relationships are affected by new information. The interactions described in the story contribute to individual character and relationship development, by bringing people together or by negatively affecting connections. This book brings many themes and ideas about relationships that are thought provoking to a reader's consciousness, making them reflect on their own personal relationships and connect to the story on a deeper level.

How Relationships Affect Our Life CHANGE THIS 12 BY ENRICO CASTELLO The book is about a Siryan girl that lived a normal life with her family, her name is Muzoon. She was the firstborn sister in a family of four brothers. As a kid she and her brother Mohammed had a habit of playing soccer with their cousins every day in the street after school. With this relationship the author wants to show how Muzoon is close to her family, which is so important because it shows how happy her childhood was and how well cared she was by her family and friends. Another way the author shows a moment of relationship in the book was when Muzoon and Mohammed (her brother) returned home after a long time playing soccer. It was time for lunch, they washed their hands, but a surprise was waiting for them: their grandmother had cooked their favorite food. “Our grandmother had prepared the traditional stew of meat dumplings boiled in yogurt.” This moment of the story reveals their love and how important their grandmother's food is for them. This can affect the way the reader treats their family, making them enjoy more moments together with the person who is important to them. In conclusion we can see how much important relationships are in people's life, and in dialougue and point of view we could see the love and the importance Muzoon has with her family and friends, This reveal we can learn even in simple moments and every moment can turn especial and important. Relationships are the base of humanity. We take them for our whole life. With relationships people learn to understand the point of view of each other, share ideas and feelings. The book Muzoon, by Muzoon Almellehan and Wendy Pearlman, shows a strong story of identity, family, friendship, love and conflict in a war scenario, and through dialogue and point of view, the author shows how the characters understand each other and their relationships.entrelinhas

13 Relationships is very important for all people in the world because everyone need love and support to live good and overcome hard problems. In the book The Secret Life of Bees, author Sue Monk Kidd show how relationships can be good or bad in the 1960s when prejudice and racism was very big in the South. Through first-person POV and dialogue, the author show how love and empathy can defeat prejudice and change the life of characters. First, the bad relationship between Lily and her father T. Ray shows how a lack of love makes a child very sad and scared. Lily say "I called him T. Ray because 'Daddy' never fit him." This dialogue and first-person POV shows that T. Ray is mean, cold, and never show empathy to his daughter. Because T. Ray punished Lily and don't care about her feelings, Lily feel lonely in her own house and decides that she must run away to find the truth about her dead mother. Second, the relationship between Lily and Rosaleen shows a very good bond with maternal love. Rosaleen is the housekeeper, but she treat Lily like a real daughter. When Lily is hurt, Rosaleen says "look at you little child" with dialogue full of kindness. Even when Rosaleen gets in big trouble with racists in town, she always tries to protect Lily. This relationship shows that empathy can make people stay together and help each other even during dangerous times. In conclusion, relationships is all the characters in the story and show what is important in life. Title Title Title BY GUILHERMINA BRAGATTO

The Changing Bond Between Sisters 10 BY FELIPE MENDONÇA Relationships between siblings often shape the way people grow, take responsibility and understand who they are. Through relationships, people learn responsibility, support, and how to deal with conflict. In The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros explores how family conflicts affected Esperanza’s journey toward her own independence and adolescence.The story takes place in a crowded Latino neighborhood in Chicago, where she grows up surrounded by poverty, unwritten rules and strong family connections. As the girl grows up, her relationship with her little sister Nenny becomes one of the most important influences for her development. Cisneros shows how the protective yet challenging bond between Esperanza and her little sister Nenny shapes Esperanza's identity by forcing her to balance her own responsibilities with her desire for independence and maturity. At the beginning of the story, Cisneros develops a challenging relationship between Esperanza and Nenny, showing how Esperanza struggles with the responsibility of being an older sister. Esperanza says, “Nenny is too young to be my friend. She’s just my sister and that’s not my fault” (p. 8). The first person point of view gives the reader access to her thoughts and reveals her frustration with Nenny. Esperanza wants to separate herself from her younger sister, however she still has responsibility for her. Later on Esperanza admits, “She is stupid alright, but she is my sister” (p. 50). The words “stupid” and “my sister” reveal both frustration and proximity. With this dialogue, Cisneros shows readers how Esperanza’s feelings with Nenny are more complicated than it shows to be, even when Esperanza doesn't agree with Nenny, she still recognizes their family bond and feels connected to her in some way. Through characterization and point of view, Cisneros helps readers understand how family responsibilities create internal conflict in Esperanza. She wants to become more independent, but her relationship with Nenny keeps her role as an older sister.entrelinhas

11 As Esperanza grows older, her relationship with Nenny begins to change as Esperanza starts to see her sister from a more mature perspective. In the vignette “Hips,” Esperanza and the other girls discuss growing up and the changes that come with adolescence. During the conversation, Nenny asks childish questions, and Esperanza thinks, “I’m about to tell her that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, but the more I think about it…” (p. 50). Through a first person point of view, Cisneros shows Esperanza stopping herself before immediately judging Nenny. This shows a change in Esperanza because she begins to think before reacting to her sister’s ideas. Later, Esperanza observes, “Everybody getting into it now except Nenny who is still humming, not a girl, not a boy, just a little baby” (p. 51). The contrast between the other girls who are beginning to grow up and Nenny's immaturity shows Esperanza recognizing differences in thinking. Instead of seeing Nenny only as an annoying younger sister, Esperanza starts to understand her as someone who is still in the childhood. With this changing in perspective, Cisneros shows how Esperanza is becoming more mature while developing her own sense of independence. Through The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros shows how Esperanza’s relationship with his little sister Nenny changes as they grow up, in the beginning of the book, Esperanza sees her as immature and feels frustrated by having to be her older sister and felt a burden to due with her. As Esperanza matures, she begins to change the way she sees Nenny and starts understanding her innocence and purity more clearly. Esperanza did not feel like she belonged in that new house, Nenny helped her indirectly with the adaptation. Family relationships can change people as they grow. And learning to care for others while you are becoming independent, often helps people understand who they are. Cisneros encourages readers to place greater importance on friendships and family ties, showing how these bonds helped her feel accepted in her new home on Mango Street.

The Path from Rejection to Tragedy 14 BY GABRIEL DOS SANTOS Relationships can have a powerful impact on a person's choices and future. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley explores how the bond between Victor Frankenstein and the Creature changes because of fear, rejection and misunderstanding. As Victor refuses to accept responsibility for his creation, both characters become trapped in loneliness and anger. Through this relationship, Mary Shelley uses characterization and dialogue to show that when people reject empathy, and communication, they create tragedy. Victor’s lack of empathy causes the Creature to feel lonely and rejected. When Victor creates the Creature, he becomes scared of him and immediately runs away instead of taking responsibility for what he has created. Shelley uses characterization to show how Victor’s fear affects the way he treats the Creature. Victor describes him as a “miserable monster,” which shows that he only sees the Creature as something scary and unnatural. He never stops to think about how the Creature feels or what he needs. Because Victor rejects him, the Creature is left alone and has to learn how to live without anyone helping him. At first, the Creature wants to be accepted and tries to understand humans, but being rejected again and again makes him angry and unhappy. This shows readers that the Creature was not simply born evil. His experiences with rejection help change him into a violent person. Shelley uses Victor’s characterization to show that when someone refuses to have empathy for another person, it can create loneliness, anger, and tragedy in a relationship.entrelinhas

15 The poor communication between Victor and the Creature eventually leads to tragedy. The Creature tries to explain his feelings to Victor and asks him to create a companion because he does not want to be alone anymore. Victor agrees at first, but then he destroys the female Creature before finishing her. Shelley uses dialogue to show how the relationship between Victor and the Creature becomes more violent because they do not understand each other. After Victor destroys the companion, the Creature tells him, “I shall be with you on your wedding-night.” This warning shows that the Creature’s sadness has turned into anger and revenge. Instead of talking with the Creature and trying to understand his needs, Victor continues to reject him. The Creature then attacks the people Victor loves, causing more death and suffering. Through their dialogue, Shelley shows that words can reveal the growing anger between two people when they refuse to listen to each other. Their poor communication makes their relationship worse and eventually leads to tragic consequences for both of them. In the end, Mary Shelley shows that relationships can become destructive when people reject empathy and communication. Victor’s rejection of the Creature leads to loneliness, anger, and tragedy. This message is still important today because understanding and caring for others can prevent conflict and strengthen relationships.

To Kill a Mockingbird Beyond the Dialogues 06 BY JOAQUIM PAGIOLAentrelinhas Relationships help people learn, trust, and understand others. Prejudice can hurt relationships, but empathy can help people understand each other. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the relationship between Scout and Atticus is important to Scout’s growth, because in her phase of growth she is yet not mature, for example when everyone in the neighbourhood criticizes "Boo” Radley, after finding the gifts in the tree and him lending his blanket in a house fire that they were watching, Scout thinks for himself and realizes he is'ntt actually a bad person. Lee uses characterization and dialogue as a tool for readers to understand others, by analyzing yourself, doing your critical thinking, and not following others opinions. First, Lee uses characterization to show how Atticus helps Scout become more understanding. Atticus tells Scout: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view”, which helps him learn to see things from another person’s perspective. This shows that Atticus influences Scout and helps her become more empathetic.

07 Their relationship helps Scout grow and understand others better, and that can help him “get along a lot better with all kinds of folks.”, as Atticus mentions, this moment reveals that it helps him with relationships and friendships, but this isn't just for the book readers can also this teaching to their life. Lee also uses dialogue to show how Scout learns important lessons, to control himself and his anger. In their conversations, Atticus teaches Scout to suppress his negative feelings towards other people “You just hold your head high and keep those fists down.” This shows how Atticus guides Scout and helps her become a better person. Their conversations help Scout develop and apply empathy. another case that helps the reader understand the deepness of the book is, when Atticus is being called a "nigger- lover’after deciding to defend Tom Robinson, so Atticus uses that as an example to Scout, claiming that it actually did'nt hurt him, so he sais: “It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.”, This helps Scout and the reader understand, that if someone insults you it just shows how superfluous they are. Scout learns from that, and readers can infer this to the real world, because it also happens in our life. In the end, Scout becomes more understanding, mature, has more empathy, and controls his emotions better because of Atticus’s lessons. The author uses characterization and dialogue as a tool to show how their relationship changes Scout for the better, because of the lessons Atticus teaches Scout, but there is still a deeper meaning inside it, readers can use it in their life to become someone better, someone that others like to be around with, and calmer that's why the story reminds us that we should understand people instead of judging them, this is important today because everyone has different experiences, relationships, and points of view.

Throughout society, people often feel pressured to change themselves to gain acceptance, prioritizing others' approval over their own values, and making them risk losing their own identity. The book Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli is about a growing and conflicting relationship between Leo and Stargirl where prejudice and judgment are more valued in building relations rather than genuine human connection. Through Leo’s experiences and reflections, readers understand the process of changing a perspective molded by other opinions and starting to follow your own needs and values. By developing the relationship between Leo and Stargirl, Jerry Spinelli shows that true love requires accepting people for who they truly are instead of expecting them to change. In the beginning of the story, Leo is portrayed as a judgmental person whose relations and actions are molded by other opinions and perspectives rather than his own uniqueness. Spinelli writes, “she [Stargirl] detoured in the direction of my table. I panicked, I jumped up, grabbed my stuff, blurted ‘Gotta go’” (73), representing Leo as a person afraid of being questioned and faced by others, even if only in his mind – Stargirl was not actually going in his direction. On the other hand, Stargirl is independent, follows her own way of living, does not care for others comments and is an intensely happy girl. Even though she knew others' perspectives and comments about her, why would she stop being herself just to fit in a The Courage to Be Different 08 BY LIS MURTAentrelinhas

09 certain teenage standard? Despite people finding it weird, “she continued to strum her ukulele and sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to people. She still wore long skirts” (25). This shows that Stargirl does not allow other people's judgment to change who she is, while Leo is constantly concerned with fitting in. Through Stargirl’s confidence, Leo begins to see that seeking acceptance can prevent someone from expressing their true identity. As Stargirl’s presence became stronger and more active in Leo’s life, her way of relating to others started to influence him. Nightly reflections regarding her became often in his mind, and influenced by her actions, Leo decided to secretly be friends with her, opening doors for secret friendly dates, car drives, and picnics where feelings were formed and life lessons flourished. Once the news of their relationship came out, Leo’s friends did question his disposition, making him regret his relationship with her, creating doubts of what he actually would be happier with. Stargirl left, in the same way she came, quietly. As a response, Leo reflected on what was truly more important, forcing him to realize that trying to fit in and gain others' approval cost him the only person that knew his real self, making him “blow the best chance [he] would ever have” (176). That turning point resulted in Stargirl teaching him subconsciously that being true to yourself is more valuable than meeting other people's expectations, as Stargirl consistently stayed loyal to her unique personality instead of changing to gain acceptance, whereas Leo constantly changed himself to fit in and gain the approval of others. Throughout Stargirl, Jerry Spinelli develops Leo and Stargirl’s relationship to reveal that trying to fit in can destroy both personal identity and meaningful relationships. By developing Leo’s and Stargirl relationship, Spinelli creates an atmosphere in which reality is being shown, where happily ever after ends, only happen when both sides let go of something and respects each other's real personality while putting themselves as priority. Written to inspire teenagers, Stargirl reminds readers that true happiness comes from being who they are rather than looking for the approval of others, proving authenticity has a bigger impact than popularity.

How Relationships Shape Us CHANGE 10 BY LUISA RIBEIRO Relationships play an important role in people's lives and influence how they develop, and understand the world. In Instructions for Dancing, Nicola Yoon explores how family relationships shape personal growth when Evie changed her view of love and trust because of her parents divorce. Through Evie’s direct interaction with her family, which is marked by regretful and hurtful conflicts, Nicola Yoon shows that relationships influence personal growth. The divorce marks a turning point in Evie's identity. At the beginning of the book, Evie made it clear how she changed since the divorce. She donated all her romance books after it even though she always loved them. This behavior change makes her emotionally distant from her mother because of the missing of how things used to be. When she admits to herself “mom misses the version of me that used to love those books, I miss her too” (p.5), she also misses the happiness and connection she had with her family before the divorce. Through that, Yoon emphasizes the idea there is a “pre-divorce Evie and a post-divorce Evie” (p. 164), helping readers understand how these family conflicts affected her identity and connections with her mom.entrelinhas

11 The betrayal changes Evie's view of her father and makes her believe that endings are what matter most. After she figured out why her parents breakup, all she could feel was hurt, and resentment for her father. She “misses thinking he was the best dad in the world” (p. 157), showing how she loses the image of him as a perfect father. The girl emphasizes that the betrayal affects her as deeply as it affects her parents' marriage, making her feel that her dad betrayed her idea of him too. As a result, Evie begins to judge relationships by the way they end, believing that a painful ending erases everything that came before it. However, as she matures and experiences new relationships, she “finally figured out that endings don't matter nearly as much as I thought they did” (p. 279). Revealing her personal growth, as she learns that the most important part of relationships are the experiences they bring rather than only for how they end. Throughout Instructions for Dancing, Nicola Yoon demonstrates that relationships can influence personal growth in both positive and negative ways.These experiences make readers see how conflict and heartbreak can influence a person’s emotion, beliefs and how the character relates to people. Overall, Evie’s relationship with her parents shaped her identity and changed the way she sees love and family. Through these experiences, Yoon shows that even regretful and painful bonds can lead to growth, helping people understand that every relationship has value beyond the way it ends.

When Things Are Not the Same 16 BY LUIZA LORENZONI Relationships can impact people's lives in many forms, especially when a close relationship changes because of a difficult situation. When they change, people can experience feelings such as sadness, fear, and longing for the way things used to be. Throughout Before The Ever After, Jacqueline Woodson helps readers understand the impact of relationships through dialogue, point of view, and characterization. ZJ, the main character, has a very close relationship with his father, Zachariah, a former football player. They share special moments through football, and ZJ follows his father's career closely. However, after many concussions, Zachariah’s memory, personality, and behavior change, affecting ZJ and the entire family. In the book, readers can learn to appreciate the moments they share because life can change unexpectedly, and relationships may never be the same afterward. In the beginning of the story, the relationship between Zachariah and ZJ is very close. His dad is very present in his life, and ZJ is able to follow his football career closely. ZJ always participates in everything his father does and enjoys spending time with him. Football is also an important part of their relationship because it is something they share and love together. Through point of view, the author shows ZJ’s perspective on his relationship with his father when he says, “he’s my every single thing.” (p. 23) This shows that ZJ sees his father as one of the most important people in hisentrelinhas life and that their bond is very strong. However, their relationship begins to change when Zachariah starts experiencing symptoms of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). ZJ notices that his dad is different and is not acting like himself. First, he starts having headaches, becomes more stressed, and his behavior begins to change. After this, Zachariah takes a break from football, which is a hard moment for both of them because he stops doing what he loves most, and ZJ misses watching his games.

17 Through characterization, the author shows how these changes affect ZJ emotionally. ZJ cares about his father, so seeing him struggle makes him feel scared and confused. “He’s missing a lot of his games” [42] in this passage shows how worried ZJ is with his father because he knows that Zacariah loves futebol and now is obliged to stop. This is a very difficult situation, and slowly changes a close relationship and affects the people around it. “I just want him to be Daddy again” (p. 43) as Zachariah’s condition gets worse, ZJ begins to miss the moments when his father was healthy and they could enjoy football together. This shows that ZJ misses the way his father used to be and wishes he could return to the moments when they were happy together. It shows readers that we should appreciate special moments with love because we may not always be able to experience them again. The changes in Zacariah’s condition also affect ZJ’s mother and the entire family. As his condition gets worse, ZJ’s mother has to take on more responsibilities, such as taking care of the house, preparing meals, taking Zacariah to the hospital and doctors, and taking ZJ to school. ZJ also notices how worried and fear he and his mother become. He explains that they lose their appetite during dinner because they are too worried and lost in their thoughts. This shows that Zachariah’s condition does not only change his relationship with ZJ, but also affects the whole family emotionally and in their daily lives. In conclusion, Before The Ever After shows how a difficult situation can change relationships and affect everyone involved. Through point of view and characterization, Jacqueline Woodson shows the strong bond between ZJ and his father and how difficult it is when that relationship changes. ZJ’s experience teaches readers to appreciate the moments they have with the people they love because life can change unexpectedly, and those moments may not last forever.

The Role of Truth 10 BY MAITÊ BUSTAMANTE Truth can change the way people see each other. When there are secrets, it is not always easy to build trust, which is important in relationships! In From the Desk of Zoe Washington, Janae Marks tells the story of Zoe, a twelve-year-old girl who starts writing letters to her father, Marcus, who is in prison. As she learns more about him, she starts to question what she always believed and sees her family in a different way. Through Zoe's relationships with her family the author shows that trust grows when people search for the truth. At first, Zoe’s relationship with her father has many secrets, but looking for answers helps them create a real connection. When she starts sending letters, Zoe thinks Marcus is a dangerous person just because he is in prison. However, she discovers he is actually a caring dad who loves baking and says he is innocent. Zoe shows that she wants to understand Marcus when she says, “I wanted to know who Marcus really was” (p. 30). The phrase is important because it shows that Zoe wants to know the truth about her father instead of believing in what other people say. Zoe talks to him directly and learns he was wrongfully convicted. Marks shows that when Zoe looks for the truth herself, her fear becomes smaller, and she sees her father for who he really is. This shows that Zoe starts to trust Marcus when she learns the truth about him instead of judging him because he is in prison. Even though they are far away from each other, communication helps create a strong bond. Because of this stronger connection, Zoe trusts her father completely and works to help prove his innocence. This also shows readers that learning the truth can change how people see each other and help build trust.entrelinhas

11 Furthermore Zoe’s relationship with her mother changes when they stop hiding things from each other. For most of the story, Zoe keeps the letters a secret because she is afraid of getting grounded. This secret is shown when Zoe says “Mom doesn't want me to write to him” (p. 15). This shows that Zoe knows her mother does not support her communication with Marcus. Revealing this secret creates distance between them, so readers can understand why honesty is important for relationships. But when her mother finds out, they finally have an honest conversation. That moment shows that the distance between them was caused by hidden truths. Once everything is clear, her mother understands Zoe better and even helps her try to prove Marcus' innocence. This shows that when Zoe and her mother are honest with each other, their relationship becomes more open and they can understand each other better. It also shows readers that honesty builds trust. When her mother listens and believes Zoe, honesty builds trust. Without secrets, their bond grows as they face problems together. In From the Desk of Zoe Washington, Janae Marks shows that trust grows when people uncover reality instead of relying on assumptions. As Zoe learns more about Marcus, she starts to understand her own family in a new way. The story shows that relationships become stronger when people are honest, listen to each other, and give each other a chance, especially in a family relationship. By choosing to be honest instead of afraid, Zoe and her family show that truth can heal old problems and bring people together. At the end, looking for truth it what helps trust grow in a family or any relationship.

Love Beyond Differences 14 BY MARIA CLARA CABRAL Connection with people can be affected mainly by people's beliefs, culture, habits and also differences, but sometimes those differences complicate the relationship between the couple. The book The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon shows exactly this through the relationship between Daniel, a Korean boy, and Natasha, a Jamaican girl. Daniel comes from a family totally different in culture, race, beliefs and habits than Natasha – on the same day that she’s being deported from America, he is going to a college interview. Both of them have different points of view about life and love, but they became interested in learning more about each other. Through characterization and dialogue, Yoon shows how differences can influence in a negative and positive way a relationship. In the beginning of the book Natasha and Daniel were completely different characters, as Daniel is characterized as romantic , while Natasha is characterized as a scientific reasoning girl. Right from the start Daniel begins to have feelings for Natasha ‘‘I don’t think I've ever noticed anyone the way I’m noticing her.’’ (66) - but their differences in culture and race started to worry him. “I can think of exactly no ways that my parents (mostly my dad) would be okay with me dating a black girl.”(72). Yoon shows this through characterization when Daniel’s feelings for Natasha started conflicting with his parents' thoughts about the perfect girl for him. Daniel’s parents were traditional and had certain expectations about the type of girl that he should date, especially when she comes from a different culture and had a different race.entrelinhas

15 After Natasha’s and Daniel’s first met, dialogue and characterization revealed how their feelings towards each other grew. At first, Natasha tried to keep Daniel distant from her, because she didn’t want him to fall in love with her as she is a scientific reasoning girl who doesn’t believe in love (76). Yoon shows that Natasha was already afraid of falling in love with Daniel, even when she says that doesn’t believe in love. On the other hand, Natasha started thinking about how it would be difficult for him to fall in love with her because she wasn’t going to fall in love with him, so she told him, “It is hard to love someone who doesn’t love you back” (152). Through this dialogue, Yoon shows that Natasha is thinking about Daniel's feelings and that her perspective about love could affect him. As they started spending more time together, Natasha felt more attracted to him in an emotional way, and she realized that her feelings were becoming stronger, so she admits, “If he keeps talking I will love him, and I don’t want to love him” (182). Yoon shows that their opposite perspectives about love started to become similar, as Natasha begins to fall in love with Daniel. Throughout The Sun is Also a Star, Nicola Yoon shows how contrasting experiences and perspectives can shape the way people connect to each other. In the book, Yoon shows how Daniel’s romantic personality and his parents beliefs creates challenges in his and Natasha’s relationship, while Natasha’s feelings about Daniel begin to intensify, conflicting with her scientific thought about love. Although differences can create difficulties in relationships, it can also help people see others' perspectives. In life, different beliefs, culture and habits can affect a relationship, but when you understand that everyone is different, you can create stronger connections with others.

A Relationship Tested by Truth 06 BY MARIAH LESSAentrelinhas Relationships are the basis of friendship and family and they help people grow, learn and support each other through difficulties. However, strong relationships are not free from challenges, and moments of uncertainty can change how people see each other. In There Will Be Bears, by Ryan Gebhart, Tyson and Gene share a close bond as grandson and grandfather that is tested as the story unfolds, forcing Tyson to rethink what family and trust mean to him. Through characterization and dialogue, the author reveals that Tyson's discovery about Gene's identity strengthens their relationship instead of destroying it. This encourages readers to understand that difficult moments can challenge relationships, but strong bonds can become even stronger through them. One way the author develops Tyson and Gene's relationship is through characterization. At the beginning of the novel, Tyson loves spending time with Gene and has a close relationship with him.

Developing Relationships Past Judgments 10 BY MIGUEL VIEIRA In The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas explores the effects of moving past surface-level judgments and how people are multifaceted, and more than what they are seen as by society and other people. Through Starr and DeVante's relationship, Thomas demonstrates how life isn't as simple as some people view it. Things are nuanced and people are dynamic. Relationships become stronger when people move past previous judgments, erasing previous negative beliefs to truly know who they are, which the author conveys through dialogue and point of view. Angie Thomas shows that at first, Starr views DeVante as just a gang member and womanizer that her friend Kenya wants to get with, referring to him as just “the dude Kenya fought over,” and when confronted with the reason of the attitude, “I ain’t did nothing to you”, responds that it is because of other girls, “No, but you did it to Denasia. And Kenya. And who knows how many other girls in Garden Heights.” But then, after her father hires him to work at the store and they are forced to spend time together, she is forced to go past her judgmental beliefs of him by needing to talk and coexist with him, as we can see by the way she behaves and talks with DeVante.entrelinhas

11 But when she learns that he only got into drug dealing and crime to escape poverty, grief following his brother's murder, and to provide for his sisters, but desperately wanted to get out – hence why he wanted to get a job at Starr's dad's grocery store – her perspective changed. In the context of a racialized and marginalized community ridden by gangs and drugs, this message is even more important – as people tend to view people like DeVante as just criminals that deserve to die, when in reality they were in vast majority just kids raised in unstable environments with no opportunities that were pushed to crime. Since it was, for them, that, or death. One way we can see that change is by comparing the way Starr views him, from some “dude Kenya fought over,” to outright saying after mentioning a joke she made about him “We’re cool like that though.” Throughout the book, Thomas shows readers how previous judgmental thoughts can impact truly knowing who someone is, since people never are what you think. In the beginning of The Hate U Give, Starr thought of DeVante as society views him, a gang member and drug dealer with no morals. When in reality, he was just a guy trying to provide safety and the basic necessities of a human being for his family after the shooting of his brother. After seeing who DeVante really was, their relationship drastically changed. Through that lesson, readers can understand how prejudicial previous beliefs can be in the coexistence between people since that vision is drastically different from who they are in reality. Angie Thomas essentially suggests that we shouldn't let prejudice get in the way of understanding who someone is, and that life isn't as binary or simple as we can view it.

Title Title 12 BY NICOLE DA CUNHA The book is about a Siryan girl that lived a normal life with her family, her name is Muzoon. She was the firstborn sister in a family of four brothers. As a kid she and her brother Mohammed had a habit of playing soccer with their cousins every day in the street after school. With this relationship the author wants to show how Muzoon is close to her family, which is so important because it shows how happy her childhood was and how well cared she was by her family and friends. Another way the author shows a moment of relationship in the book was when Muzoon and Mohammed (her brother) returned home after a long time playing soccer. It was time for lunch, they washed their hands, but a surprise was waiting for them: their grandmother had cooked their favorite food. “Our grandmother had prepared the traditional stew of meat dumplings boiled in yogurt.” This moment of the story reveals their love and how important their grandmother's food is for them. This can affect the way the reader treats their family, making them enjoy more moments together with the person who is important to them. In conclusion we can see how much important relationships are in people's life, and in dialougue and point of view we could see the love and the importance Muzoon has with her family and friends, This reveal we can learn even in simple moments and every moment can turn especial and important. Relationships are the base of humanity. We take them for our whole life. With relationships people learn to understand the point of view of each other, share ideas and feelings. The book Muzoon, by Muzoon Almellehan and Wendy Pearlman, shows a strong story of identity, family, friendship, love and conflict in a war scenario, and through dialogue and point of view, the author shows how the characters understand each other and their relationships.entrelinhas

When Relationships Define Identity 16 BY SARA PEIXOTO Nobody figures out who they are completely by themselves. Most people figure out their identity through the roles they play for others. In Family Ties, Gary Paulsen explores the challenges of Kevin Spencer, a teenager who takes on a different role in almost every relationship in his life. As these roles pile up, readers watch him lose track of who he is outside of what everyone else needs from him. Through Kevin's first-person narration and humor in everyday family chaos, the writer reveals that Kevin builds his identity not through who he is on his own, but through the roles he plays in relationships. In the book, Kevin often acts like he is the manager of the house. When Papa and Lola (his grandfather and Papa's girlfriend) show up at Kevin's house needing a place to stay, he is the one who decides where they'll sleep, telling them to sleep in his brother's room. Later, at his uncle's wedding, Kevin decides on his own to bake the cake. It wasn't his job to do it, he just took the responsibility for himself. Both moments represent the same situation in which the main character doesn't see himself just as another member of the family, but as the family manager. Demonstrating that his identity comes from being needed, not from anything about himself alone.entrelinhas

17 Similarly, Kevin builds the same kind of identity in relationships that are unreal. This is shown when Kevin says “When you're lucky enough to have found and then caught a girl like Tina, you worry.” In this line, Tina doesn't confirm any relationship herself, meaning that this connection only exists in Kevin's head. He also plays Katie's husband for a school project. At a certain moment, he admits “But married is not it,” revealing that he's starting to get uncomfortable and pressured in the role he was playing for the project. With all this information it's noticeable that whether the relationship is real, like his family, or made up, like with Tina and Katie, Kevin still builds his identity through the roles he plays for someone else, not through who he is alone. By the end of Family Ties, it becomes clear that Kevin never really separates who he is from what everyone else needs from him. His sense of self comes entirely from the roles he plays. By Kevin's own narration and situational humor, Paulsen presents how these roles mix together and become overwhelming and feel like too much for the main character. It's a reminder that depending on other people to feel like yourself won't work forever. Eventually, you will have to find out who you are on your own, without anyone needing you for anything.

The Power of Supportive Relationships 14 BY SOPHIE MACHADO Relationships can have a big effect on how people grow, change, and see themselves. In Ghost, Jason Reynolds explores how trust and support can change a person’s life. Castle Cranshaw, also known as Ghost, struggles with anger, his past, and feeling like he does not belong. However, his relationships with Coach, his teammates, and his mother help him understand that he does not have to face everything alone. Through characterization, dialogue, and first-person point of view, Reynolds shows that supportive relationships can help people learn to trust others, feel a sense of belonging, and grow. Castle’s relationship with Coach helps him deal with his anger, his difficult past, and his trouble controlling his actions. When Coach sees Castle run, he recognizes his potential and tells Castle’s mother that he could be a “serious problem” with proper coaching. Although the word “problem” usually has a negative meaning, Reynolds uses it here to show that Coach sees Castle as someone with the potential to become a strong runner. Later, Coach tells Castle, “you can’t run away from yourself”, showing thatentrelinhas

15 he understands Castle is using running to avoid facing his problems. Reynolds uses dialogue and characterization to develop Coach as a mentor who supports Castle while also pushing him to change. Castle needs someone like Coach because he struggles to control his anger and often reacts before thinking about the consequences. Through their relationship, readers understand that support can help someone recognize their potential and improve. Ultimately, Castle’s relationship with Coach shows that trust and guidance help people grow. Castle’s relationship with his teammates helps him feel accepted and less alone. When Castle says it “felt good to feel like one of the teammates,” readers understand how important belonging is to him. Reynolds uses first-person point of view to show Castle’s feelings and how his relationship with the team changes. Later, Lu tells him, “It’s me and you,” showing their growing friendship and support. These moments show that friendship, trust, and acceptance can strengthen relationships and help people feel understood and supported. By the end of Ghost, Castle’s relationships with Coach and his teammates have helped him become more trusting, responsible, and confident. Coach pushes Castle to face his problems, while his teammates help him feel accepted and supported. Through characterization, dialogue, and first-person point of view, Reynolds shows that supportive relationships can help people overcome struggles and recognize their potential. The novel reminds readers that having people who believe in you can make it easier to grow and become a better version of yourself.

The Changing Bond Between Sisters 10 BY THIAGO VIEIRA Relationships between siblings often shape the way people grow, take responsibility and understand who they are. Through relationships, people learn responsibility, support, and how to deal with conflict. In The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros explores how family conflicts affected Esperanza’s journey toward her own independence and adolescence.The story takes place in a crowded Latino neighborhood in Chicago, where she grows up surrounded by poverty, unwritten rules and strong family connections. As the girl grows up, her relationship with her little sister Nenny becomes one of the most important influences for her development. Cisneros shows how the protective yet challenging bond between Esperanza and her little sister Nenny shapes Esperanza's identity by forcing her to balance her own responsibilities with her desire for independence and maturity. At the beginning of the story, Cisneros develops a challenging relationship between Esperanza and Nenny, showing how Esperanza struggles with the responsibility of being an older sister. Esperanza says, “Nenny is too young to be my friend. She’s just my sister and that’s not my fault” (p. 8). The first person point of view gives the reader access to her thoughts and reveals her frustration with Nenny. Esperanza wants to separate herself from her younger sister, however she still has responsibility for her. Later on Esperanza admits, “She is stupid alright, but she is my sister” (p. 50). The words “stupid” and “my sister” reveal both frustration and proximity. With this dialogue, Cisneros shows readers how Esperanza’s feelings with Nenny are more complicated than it shows to be, even when Esperanza doesn't agree with Nenny, she still recognizes their family bond and feels connected to her in some way. Through characterization and point of view, Cisneros helps readers understand how family responsibilities create internal conflict in Esperanza. She wants to become more independent, but her relationship with Nenny keeps her role as an older sister.entrelinhas
