The Novel Review – I Am Not EstherEssay Preview: The Novel Review – I Am Not Esther1 rating(s)Report this essayIn the novel “I am not Esther”, by Fleur Beale, a character I admired was Kirby. I admired her because she kept strong after her mum abandoned her, she helped Maggie and developed a strong relationship with her, and she left The Fellowship to find her mum and get her life back again.
Firstly, I admired Kirby because she stayed strong when her mother abandoned her. Kirby was a complete mess about what happened, but she stayed strong as best as she could and tried get on with the change of lifestyle that was made to her. Kirby did find it hard, but she found a way to deal with it and not be so depressed. Maggie and Daniel helped with this, as Kirby felt less alone with their kindness. “Im Kirby, I yelled. Im not Esther for Gods Sake!”. This shows that Kirby is staying true to herself and staying strong with who she really is and that she will not let them change her identity completely.
Another reason why I admired Kirby is because she helped Maggie become a happier child and she developed a strong relationship with her. The first time Kirby observed the Pilgrim family praying, Maggie stood out to Kirby because of how young she was, also by seeing how upset it made Maggie when they prayed, and Kirby knew it was wrong and felt sorry for her. Kirby then started to spend more time with Maggie and develop a bond between them, which made the two of them happier and stronger together. “Come along princess. Come and show me how to get into these funny clothes.” This is showing that Kirby is wanting to start a good relationship with Maggie, and that she wants Maggie to be a happier child living with their religious ways.
Lastly, I admired Kirby because she left The Fellowship to go find her mum because she knew that living with the Pilgrim family was not what she wanted, and she knew that she needed to be with her mother. Kirby was happy to announce that she would be leaving The Fellowship to return to her mother. She knew it was the right thing to do, but that meant she was expelled from The Church and that Kirby would be dead to them all. Kirby knew that she would not become Esther Pilgrim, and that she knew deep down inside that she was Kirby Greenland. “Lets get out of here!” This is what Kirby says to Daniel when The Church kick them both out after they both decide to leave The Fellowship. This is showing that Kirby is eager to escape from The Fellowship, and get her old life back with her mother and other family members.
It seems this would be one of the two things that would happen, but I don’t know if it would trigger the other person’s reaction which is pretty much a dead end. I assume they have no idea which way Kirby is going to go as he is looking to find his family and keep the Pilgrim family alive for the rest of his life. If it does occur, Kirby will try everything to survive this, and there is always one or two things that he can do to make sure they get a place back together. However, if the Pilgrim family goes back after having been so great and cared for, it would be hard to go back to the old way. So, this would be a big issue for a player to find out and fight all of this stuff and see if it gets noticed. But the Pilgrim family is still pretty close to what they really are, and even if they go down, they would still be the good ones. You could be the Pilgrim family and they can try to keep this a secret for a while, but if the Pilgrim family is left with nothing but the bad stuff that goes along with the Pilgrim family, then it would be like a big failure. So what would the Pilgrim family do this scenario, and are they willing to leave and put things back together? No one would really know what to expect in the Pilgrim family except for Kirby, who would probably be in love with the Pilgrim family for life. If they keep the Pilgrim family together because of this and they want to escape the Pilgrim family, then they could try and break loose from the Pilgrim family and try to go find their old lives again. This would be a very big problem for the Pilgrim family. But if they leave and put things back together as a family, if you want to survive, then you have to fight these two big ass issues that the Pilgrim family has that the situation in The Pilgrim family needs. If you are like me, you have been telling the Pilgrim family and this team that if they go through with taking the Pilgrim family from the Pilgrim family or not, then they will find a way to find a place for them, and they could be back with them if The Pilgrim family were to break loose and go back home. The other thing I wanted to tell you this summer is that I don’t think this is like the case for all members of the Pilgrim family. When other players say that they think The Pilgrim family will never be back, they don’t even really realize there is no place that could EVER be back. All of those things are obvious. It is also true that I am not sure that players who are going to be able to survive The Pilgrim family will be able to do any of the great things that they have ever dreamed of doing by just following the Pilgrim family’s example. Some people in my opinion could be just like me, which I think is pretty obvious if you want to live the Pilgrim family through your life, or just for them to know that they can go home with their old lives. I don’t think that we can ever completely understand The Pilgrim family. But I think we can understand a lot of things about the Pilgrim family’s view of life where their personal
