from Eragon by Christopher Paolini

(1) The Shade howled in rage and stalked forward, flinging his sword at a tree. (2) It passed halfway through the trunk, where it stuck, quivered. (3) He shot nine bolts of energy from his palm—which killed the Urgals instantly—then ripped his sword free and strode to the elf.

(5) Prophecies of revenge, spoken in a wretched language only he knew, rolled from his tongue. (6) He clenched his thin hands and glared at the sky. (7) Disgust curled his lip before he turned back to the unconscous elf.

Powell looked at the girl struggling with getting her books into her bag. Jaime was her name. She was scrawny, and her hair looked like it was close to falling out. He saw her drop a book to the floor, then the rest came tumbling out of her grasp. He rushed to help her pick them up. “You okay?” he said. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back before laughing and grabbing the bag from her hand and tossing it on the floor along with the rest of her books.

from Piecing Me Together by Renée Watson

Sometimes it feels like I leave home a whole person, sent  off with kisses from Mom, who is hanging her every hope  on my future. By the time I get home I feel like my soul has  been shattered into a million pieces. 

Mom’s love repairs me…  

Listening to these mentors, I feel like I can prove the  negative stereotypes about girls like me wrong. That I can  and will do more, be more.  But when I leave? It happens again. The shattering.  

And this makes me wonder if a black girl’s life is only about  being stitched together and coming undone, being  stitched together and coming undone. I wonder if there’s  ever a way for a girl like me to feel whole.

from Aesop's Fables: The Peacock & the Crane

A Peacock, puffed up with vanity, met a Crane one day, and to impress him spread his gorgeous tail in the Sun.

"Look," he said. "What have you to compare with this? I am dressed in all the glory of the rainbow, while your feathers are gray as dust!"

The Crane spread his broad wings and flew up toward the sun.

"Follow me if you can," he said. But the Peacock stood where he was among the birds of the barnyard, while the Crane soared in freedom far up into the blue sky.
