  1. Maggie: Girl of the Streets By: Stephen Crane

  2. Text- to- Text • Maggie compares to the book Redeeming Love. • In Redeeming Love the girl, Sarah, was rejected by her father and her uncle and put into prostitution at a young age. • Both Maggie and Sarah was rejected by family because of actions that they once made and yet they were not always in the wrong. • Sarah’s father was a married man having an affair with Sarah’s mother and yet Sarah was the problem. Sarah’s uncle was a drunk that did not want her and thought that she was not worth anything. • Maggie’s mother and brother shunned her because she fell in love and ran away with Pete and then when Pete rejected her she had no family to return to.

  3. Text- to- Self • Maggie and I aren’t very similar because my family and I are very close. • We do not live under the same circumstances that they do because times have changed. • Maggie had hypocritical family members that did not support her and she felt down on herself which is why she left with Pete. • I would not leave my family for a boy because I know better and she was trying to escape the horrible life that she was a part of. My life is not by any means one I should escape from.

  4. Text- to- World • A world issue is that many girls try to escape their life situations and go with a boy but many end up wasting life for that. • A major issue in this book is the human hypocrisy shown. • People today are so hypocritical and they don’t even realize it. They judge people for the same reasons they do things themselves. • People are judgmental and they should focus on improving themselves first. • Maggie’s mother and brother both did things that society was ashamed of but yet when Maggie did it, it was wrong and she had to be punished for it.
